Stargirl

The narrator, Leo, goes to Arizona high school. One day a new girl whose name is Stargirl comes to the school. She has some weird characteristics such as carrying a rat named cinnamon and singing a birthday song in the lunchroom everyday. More over, She puts a flower vase in her desk every class she attends and when class finishes she takes it in her bag. Then she goes to the next room and does the same thing. when she "Half the lunchroom kept staring, half started buzzing"(4). The example is that when a new student comes to the school, other students stare at that person because they are curious. By the way, Leo is interested in Stargirl and accepts as who she is. others consider her as weird but no intention of hostile until she cheers for other teams when they attend the basket ball tournament. Hillari, another student at Mica high school, hates her. She says Stargirl isn't real. It means something to me because I know this is just a story and not real but her weird behavior is even more unrealistic. that sinks this story. I can not understand what she is thinking. Hopefully later chapter I guess I will know who she really is.
