Reading: Feb 25 Journal Entry

Please choose one for your journal entry, due Feb 27

Chapter 8
Stargirl has become popular by December 1st. The entire student body adores her and begins acting like her in many ways. Where do you stand? Have you fallen for her optimistic and carefree personality, do you feel bitterness towards her for becoming popular by acting weird, or somewhere in between? 

Chapter 9 
Do you hold back your individuality? Think about how you act in certain environments, both places and people. Compare and contrast your different “levels” within yourself. When do you feel most at peace with whom you are? When do you feel like to can be yourself the most?  

Chapter 10
Describe a time when you tried to do something nice for someone else, but it backfired against you. If you cannot think of one, instead write about a time when you unintentionally offended someone else. What did you do? Do you think you were in the wrong?
