           My job this week was to be the connector. When you get the job of being the connector, it means that you have to find one thing in the book that you can relate to. 

           While reading the book i was able to make only one connection. That connection was to Stargirl and the fact that she doesn't care about what people think of her. While reading the book in one chapter Leo talked to her about how most of the people in their school dislike her and ignore her, and that she needs to change some things about herself. Since Leo and Stargirl were a couple, the fact that people ignored stargirl effected him too and he wasn't happy about that. He had never knew how much he needed the attention of others, as well as that everybody needs to loves him . Since he had cared so much about what people thought about him he was surprised to find out that what people think about Stargirl doesn't affect her at all. Once Leo had explained to Stargirl why people think of her and why she didn't care. Those things don't affect her, and thats where i could connect to her because those things don't affect me either. I know that i have people that love me and that care about me and will always be there for me so, therefor i don't need to please every person. One thing that i would never do is change for somebody. 

          I have connected to this book with a good trait that I and Stargirl have, and that is that we don't care about what people think of us. I really don't care because some people dislike me or think something bad about me, i know that i have friends which will love me and care about me for who I am and I dont have to change to please them.
