01-02: Write a paragraph about your reading experience with the book “Stargirl”.
My experience reading stargirl was honestly really cool. I liked the book and i would recommend it to whoever likes reading. My favorite part was the end when Hillari decided she'd like to hit stargirl and stargirl didn't do anything but kiss Hillari's cheek.

02-03: Write a paragraph about why writing about history is difficult.
For me history is both hard yet easy. There are always certain parts in History that make is easy. For example, using khan academy and learning/taking notes is easy. The hard part is probably having to find the right things. Sometimes when you try to find an answer to a question and you try researching it's not always easy.

02-04; Write about the specific parts of Khan Academy that you enjoy when you’re researching history online.
Link: www.khanacademy.com
I enjoy researching history on Khan academy especially the medieval parts of it. Medieval has always been my favorite and easiest subject in history. Especially since its always fun to learn about it. I also really like looking at the renaissance, medieval, and classic arts they made. I've always loved learning about the sistine chapel. The fact that Michelangelo actually painted laying down for several hours is really shocking at how good it turned out.

Journal Entry 001 - 10/16/2014
Life underneath:
Did you know there is a life underneath us? It's a slightly unusual world. Well unusual for us. There are living things underneath our world and it may seem weird to us but I'm pretty sure our world is weird for them.
October 20, 2014:
Leonardo davinci was a famous artist. He painted the Mona Lisa. She was obviously
Stargirl essay:
Stargirl is girl who is unusually different from all others. Especially kids at school. Stargirl is a girl who goes to MAHS. She was the schools number 1 topic. Especially because of her clothing, her personality, and lastly because she wasn't like everyone else.
Stargirls clothing wasn't like everyone else's.It was actually not like anyone's choices of outfits. On her first day stargirl wore an off-white maxi dress which obviously covered her feet. The dress had ruffles on the neck and cuffs. As it stated in the book "It looked like it could be her great-grandmothers wedding dress", it oddly does sound like it could be at how they described it. Her shoulder length hair was the color of sand and she carried a ukulele on her back. Another thing she carried was a canvas like tote bag with a huge sunflower on it. Not your average day wear. Then nextday she wore a bright-red baggy shorts with an added bib, shoulder strap over-all shorts, two twin plaited pigtails-with red ribbons. The unusual thing was she wore makeup that day. Not excessive amounts of makeup but she had on some blush and she drew on some more freckles. An average girls outfit would probably be a blouse,shorts,dress or jeans but not Stargirl.
We all have different personalities but, we don't have stargirl's personality. Stargirl was a care-free person who wasn't afraid of being judged. The reason why i'm saying we don't have her personality is because basically we've all gotten to the point to where we're all insecure and we're all afraid of being judged because it's all we see. Except Stargirl doesn't let anything get to her. She doesn't care. She could go run around a football field, make an embarrassment out of herself and sing happy birthday to random people on their birthdays. You don't see that kind of stuff now-a-days/realistically.Sure there are days where you could have a little bit of Stargirl but would you ever be a full blown Stargirl?
Like in my third paragraph, Stargirl isn't like anyone else. Stargirl is different and she doesn't even really care if she's different than anyone else. Which is probably why she doesn't try to fit in at all. She's different because she doesn't try to impress people. She's different especially because she has a pet rat named cinnamon while others probably have a dog or cat. Her "interview" on Hotseat is different because she said her 'fanny was on fire'. Just like her name she's just not like anyone else. Not Hillari Kimble, not Wayne Parr, not Leo, and not Kevin.
In conclusion, i think Stargirl is different, her clothing is one of a kind and her personality is all about confidence. If i knew anyone who was confident and was a Stargirl i think that would be pretty cool because that'd show that not only can a fictional book character be different and not care but that in reality the same thing could happen.
