One
of the paramount lessons to be learned is to value individuality over blind conformity. This
story pits exuberant individuality against extreme conformity and tracks how individuality
enlivens conformity, bringing inspiration and new vision to conformity. The story also shows
that extremism in any direction--trying to adopted ways that are alien to you, likedid for
Jason; group rule mentality; enthusiastically crossing social boundaries without sensibility and
perception, like Stargirl did with the opponent basketball player--may be construed as action
without thought or regard for consequences and may be seen as counterproductive to the
adaptation to each other of the opposing qualities of individuality and conformity:
counterproductive of a synthesis of approaches to life that opens the way to acceptance,
creativity and responsiveness.
