Week 4

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting. There were a lot of different and unordinary things that happened in this book, but overall it was a wonderful book .Did you enjoy it? I think girls my age should read this book. This is because it is about a young girl who is very different, and doesn’t care what other people thought of her. She dressed different from “them”, she did different things then “them”, and she went to enchanted places that not very many people would have ever thought about going to, or would have an interest in going to. StarGirl noticed the weirdest things. For an example like she noticed that the front door on one of the houses had a new paint job very often. She was definitely one of a kind. StarGirl changes throughout the story. At the beginning she was different. Nobody liked her, then she became popular after joining the cheerleading team, then the popularity disappeared after she cheered for the other teams. Later in the book Leo talked to StarGirl about the way she was and how people didn’t like her. He told her everything that people were saying. That she dressed different. That she was not one of “them”. After their talk StarGirl changed her ways and was now Susan. She was now one of them and Leo really liked that, but she became to notice that they still wouldn’t talk to her. She didn’t understand. After going to the contest in Arizona, and winning first place just like she imagined, she was again StarGirl.

I think that there’s nothing wrong with being different  , just be yourself and everybody should be proud. It made me want to really be myself, and not try pretending like someone I’m not. Later in the book StarGirl had disappeared, and nobody had seen her since that night. Leo always wondered if maybe later in life he would ever see her again. I wished that they had met up somewhere, just the two of them. They both really liked each other and I think that they would have been good together. He was now in college and visited Archie when he was home. They had many conversations about StarGirl. Archie even showed Leo the “office” that was StarGirl’s. It had many people’s files in it, and Leo found out that Peter Sinkowitz wasn’t the only one that StarGirl watched. There were many other files including… Leo Borlock.

I wonder where StarGirl had gone? Why she didn’t want to tell Leo? Where were they at, the night that StarGirl disappeared? I wonder if she will ever come back to visit. I really liked how the booked ended and I enjoyed the book!

Week 3

, back to a nobody. Nobody liked the way she cheered for other teams, they didn’t like her cheers anymore, and she was no longer an advantage for the cheerleading team. At lunch she now sits by herself again. People were back to staring at her. She didn’t notice still. She wasn’t worried about what other people were talking about. She cared less, she was worrying more about being herself, and that seemed to be pretty hard. I don’t think it’s fair to her. She is just being her normal self, and people are judging her for being who she truly is. At least she’s not trying to be someone she’s not. Leo is the protagonist of this story. He and his feelings have almost greatly changed. Leo now had a crush on StarGirl. He wanted to know everything about StarGirl. He wanted to see her baby pictures, eating breakfast, and sleeping. He wanted to really get to know her. I thought this was so cute, because at least somebody liked StarGirl for her. Also he had strong feelings for her. She taught him a lot of weird unordinary things when they went to that enchanted place.

After everybody started to find out about Leo and StarGirl liking each other, people stared ignoring Leo. When they would walk down the hall, people would make room and let them through. Leo and StarGirl sat by themselves at lunch. People were now talking. I didn’t think that was right. Other people shouldn’t care who you like, it’s your life not there’s. It wasn’t fair for them. Just because they liked one another doesn’t mean people have to start treaty them differently. I really liked this section and I hope that you did too. It has many different feelings, and is very interesting. I’m really enjoying reading this book with you. Mrs. Shull told me about you being busy last week with prom. How did everything go? We had a track meet last Thursday, I run a 4x200 relay, hurdles, and a 400 hundred. Last weeks meet I only ran the 4x200 and the 400. My relay has been doing very good all season, and we placed first Thursday with the time of 2:07. We have been working so hard to beat the school record and go to state. We have improved many seconds sine the first meet and we wish to keep improving. I run a 400 hundred. I’m not the best at it, but I try. At the meet Thursday I placed 4th, with a time of 1:18. It was a personal best, so that made a lot of things better. I also run hurdles. I think I’m pretty good at them, but could improve many things. I usually place 2nd or 3rd. I really enjoying being in these events, and I wouldn’t want to be in anything else. Did you run track, or any sports when you were younger?
