The novel, Stargirl, has challenged me to rise up from the world of “them” and become someone not influenced by others. In the world of “them”, people look at me with false beliefs and degrade me because of my race. I used to let every action of “them” influence me. Then I came upon Stargirl, the main character of the novel.
She is the role model that I strive to become. She is an eccentric girl with a heart full of empathy. Even though she suffered from shunning at her high school because of her nonconformity, she did not let it affect her. Her boyfriend, who was also shunned but cared about it, coerced her to change. Stargirl disappeared and Susan, a “normal” girl, replaced her. Susan did not last long because Stargirl soon returned. Stargirl
