    What Is The Theme Of Stargirl By Jerry Spinelli

    Stargirl, a novel by Jerry Spinelli, is a remarkable book that I couldn’t put down. The protagonist, Stargirl, has a unique personality that greatly affects her classmates when she first attends Mica HIgh School as a new student. Stargirl affects Leo, a shy boy who falls in love with Stargirl, the most. The author keeps the story interesting by adding unexpected twists to the story. One example of a twist was when Stargirl went from having a very different and unique personality to an average student due to bullying. Also, the author’s vivid descriptions made me feel like I was part of the story. One of the author’s best descriptions is on page 85 and is written as, “In school I was a yellow balloon, smiling and lazy, floating above the classrooms.”…

    Summary: Star For The West

    In numerous cases, your choice can be affected directly by your characteristics and philosophies to have extremely distinct outcomes. Like the protagonist of the article, Bob was greedy and materialistic. He wanted to make a lot of money, buy a lot of things, enjoy a life of luxury, and display his success conspicuously. And he did not care how he got the money as long as he got it. As a result, he decided to “star for the West” (Henry para.7) to make his fortune when he was eighteen years old. If he did not go to the West, he would become a “successful” man who owned a “handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds” (Henry para.10) On the contrary, Jimmy was conventional and conservative. He intended to have a steady job and life so that eventually he decided not to go to the West with Bob at that time.…

    all about a young girl

    The building I used to live in was beautiful safe and since it was a bit old everyone knew each other. I lived there for 6 years so I considered everyone there my distant family. We all did our laundry at the same Laundromat, shopped for groceries at the same place and most of the kids went to the same school in the neighborhood. I didn’t appreciate the door man in my building who would be there every day all the time to help me with the door or packages, the elderly Liberian who used to watch after me at the library I grew up at as a child, My neighbors borrowing me items I was so too lazy to go buy myself I didn’t appreciate the train being so close to me, the friendly man at the super market, Or My building and all it meant to me. But after my house burned down on July 26 I appreciated it all.…

    Story Of The Extra Ordinary Girl Analysis

    Once upon a time there was a girl who was kind of an idiot but people still liked her because she was not ugly and okay at sports. She was 17. Nothing was really wrong with her, per say, but was anything really right? Probably not. Anyway, one day in this once upon a time this girl was walking along the road, minding her own business. I should probably mention now that in the world this girl lived, no one could hear. Don’t get too excited, she couldn’t either. Like I said, she wasn’t anything special. But as she was walking along this road, something interesting happened. It was in the middle of the day in a suburban neighborhood, so about as boring as a setting could get. No one, especially not this girl, could ever guess what would happen to her next.…
