"Gender stereotypes are simplistic generalizations about the gender attributes, differences, and roles of individuals and/or groups."
In the hunger games, both Katniss and Peeta had strange personalities. Katniss was strong and brave. She was really good at fighting and she was doing many dangerous things such as fighting for Peeta to get wAnd Peeta, he is clever and cheerful. But in most cases, a girl is known to be weak and scared. Even though that does not go with some people, but for the majority it is true.
The story Stargirl is by an American author named Jerry Spinelli. Overall the book is really entertaining to read. It is full of detail and it has lots of good words used. The book is well-sorted together and it is so interesting that I finished it in five days!
It is about how a new girl named Stargirl, and she is very different from other people. She dresses differently, she acts differently, and she is nobody. She finally becomes popular by being so hyper in the cheering team. And she was the most popular girl in the whole school. Finally one day she is nobody again because she is cheering for the other team during the basketball games. Everyone hates her, except for one person, Leo Borlock. Who is he? He is Stargirl's boyfriend. At first he tries to ignore her, but he knows that he can't resist. Then he finally gives in and they hang out together. One day, the school is having a dance, and after Stargirl introduce the bunny hop game to everyone, everyone is doing it. After that, she is never seen again.
The main setting of the book is simple, a school. The book can change a lot if the setting was in a different place. Such as a work shop. If it happened in a workshop is will be different because it is almost impossible for so much things to happen. Such as how there will be a bully, and how there can be so many people involved. Something like this can only happen during the golden age of a teenager, so I think a story based on daily life should take place in a school.
I love the book Stargirl, right now I am reading it's second book :"Love, Stargirl". I can't say that it is as interesting as the first one, but it is still a very fun book to read. I like my lit circle book and I hope I can find more books that has a similar scene!
After reading both the story and the article I have tons of connections. Not only that they were both in war against their enemies, but one killed his brother, and one was killed by his brothers. After killing his very own brother the sniper must have felt really ashamed and guilty. Even though they were related they were against each other. They did not have any connections or communication between themselves, and they must have been misery because of that. In the real life situation of Pat Tillman, he did not kill his own brothers. Instead, he was killed by his own brothers. The people who killed him must be really guilty. I feel sorry for Pat Tillman, who gloriously left this world.
1. The lack of knowledge skews our perspective because it's hard to give an opinion unless you know a lot about the characters.
2. Irony affects the reader at the end of the story because the unsuspecting happens.
3. The street separates the two different snipers because it's like having the two different armies fighting each other from different perspectives. The street could represent the split between the two different sides.
4. There is no resolution because the war is still going on and the character kills his own brother.
5. The sniper wants to see his victim because he thought for a second that he knew him and that he was an important person and was valuable to kill. He was also curious because he was very talented.
6. True because there's so much loss that nobody ever wins. Also, in the text, almost everybody gets shot and killed so it's never over.
