Stargirl is a book by Jerry Spinelli is a love story between an ordinary boy and an extraordinary girl. The boy, Leo, is ordinary because he just goes along with everybody else. The girl, Stargirl, however is the complete opposite. She is herself and only herself.
The author, Jerry Spinelli starts the story in an interesting way. The story starts back when Leo was a little boy and he moved to Arizona. It talks about how he only has one porcupine necktie and someone anonymously sends him another. Then it fast – forwards to the first day of school in high school when Leo sees Stargirl.
I think this helps the story develop because this adds up to the suspense of the story as the story continues. The main theme of this story is conformity. Conformity is when people try to be like someone else because they’re “more normal”. Anyway, the main point of the story is just be yourself and don’t care about what people think. I believe this is an important lesson for all generations.
