Stargirl Reflection

I have learned many things after reading the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. I have learned you can't judge a book by its cover especially with people. I have also learned something deeper than judging a book by its cover. I learned you can't judge a book by what chapter you walk in on.

This shows that you need to stay true to yourself because in the long run it will be worth it. When Stargirl realizes she's miserable, she goes back to being herself. This shows that being yourself is more important that being popular or being "accepted" by everyone
