At the
start of the novel,is approaches with a sense of hesitation by the students at Mica High. Part
of it is that she is homeschooled, creating a sort of disconnect between she and the student
body. Another level of divergence between both Stargirl and the students is her eccentricity.
Her name and its implications, her free spirited demeanor, as well as the way in which she
carries herself creates a sense of difference about her, and one that causes the students to
view her with skepticism and uncertainty at the start of the novel. The way in which she
embodies the spirit of freedom and non- conformity creates an uneasy relationship between the
students at Mica High and Stargirl. This dynamic at the start of the year sets the stage for
the exploration what Spinelli will examine between the relationship between the individual and
the social order in which she is immersed.
