Hot Seat

Why were the kids in the "jury" so harsh to stargirl?
and why did stargirl just sit there and take it from
all of them?

peer pressure

I think that peer pressure is a big influence at our school because (as an example) a student tells the other student to do something they dont want to do but they do it anyways because they want to fit it in or they are just forced to do it.

"We did not wake up in the morning and ask ourselves, 'What will Wayne Parr wear today?' or 'How will Wayne Parr act today?" At least, not consciously. But on some level below awareness, that is exactly waht we did. Wayne Parr did not go to football and basketball games, and by and large, neither did we. Wayne Parr did not ask questions in class or get worked up over teachers or pep rallies, and neither did we. Wayne Parr did not much care. Neither did we." This quote came from page 19 and 20 in the book. How do you think you and people arround you are affected by peer presure? do you think it is a big inffluence?

Scott's Question - pd. 4

Why does everyone have to be so rude to Stargirl just because she wants to be kind to everyone and cheer for everyone? And how does Stargirl seem unaffected by this? She doesn't seem to take any emotion to how anyone feels about her.

A tie on the step

How did this tie get on whats her names doorstep? Who was it do you think put it on the doorstep? Do you guys maybe think it could be Stargirl?

Diffrences

Why can't we tolerate when someone changes, for example when someone acts different or comes from a diffrent place, like when Stargirl is new and she dresses and acts different?
