I think the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. One reason i think this is because Leo has to make a decision to stay with Stargirl or go with the crowd. Another reason i think this is because Kevin also has to make a decision to be with Leo as a friend or ditch him and go with the people. The third reason that I think Stargirl is a man vs self conflict is because Stargirl herself might realize that the people of Micha Area High School don't like her and she might move.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in stargirl is man vs. society. Three main reasons I chose this conflict is one, that Leo and Stargirl are having the "silent treatment" because they are going out.Two, The school thinks that Stargirl is a discrace to the basketball team becauase she cheered for the other team and they thought it made them lose the final game. and three, Stargirl made a sign on the plywood roadrunner(Mica High's bulliton board) and painted big red letters on a bedsheet that said, "I love you Leo" the whole school saw it and Hillari Kimble eavesdropped and might tell the whole school!! -kaity
ReplyDeleteThe statement I chose was man vs. society. I chose man vs. society because I think that is the conflict in Stargirl. I think it is the conflict in Stargirl because the society is the student body of Mica High and the man is Leo. The student body of Mica High is starting to ignore Leo because of who he is with, which is Stargirl. Leo is just now starting to realize that everyone is ignoring him except Stargirl, Dori Dilson, Kevin, and a 9th grader that sits with Stargirl at lunch. That is a big problem because now even Kevin is kind of starting to ignore Leo and Leo doesn't want everyone ignoring him ecspecially Kevin. Since everyone is ignoring Leo he has to choose between Stargirl or the others (Mica High student body).
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Star girl is man vs. self.
ReplyDeleteOR
The primary conflict in Star girl is man vs. society.
I do not know beacons 1. Is that Leo is against his self.
2. Is that the SCHOOL is against Leo.
And 3. Star girl is not involving herself with any of it.
So I do not know which one it is.
I think the type of conflict in Stargirl is Man vs. self because Man vs. Society can’t really be the conflict. And though society is a key part in the conflict Leo has to think to himself “Who’s affection do you need more hers or them”, even though society is the term “them” and a part of the problem their not the big problem which is why Leo really needs to figure out who does he need more and who does he want more. This has something to do with the society, but if you look at the whole picture and you think of what really matters in the story in the end he going to choose either Stargirl or the society.

The primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society because Leo is getting shunned by everyone and he wants attention. He even stated that he needed people around him. Also, the society is making Leo affect Stargirl Because he wants his friends to love him so much that he is upsetting her.
ReplyDeleteI think it is man vs self because Leo doesnt know to be with Star Girl or be respected by his friends. So hes fighting with him self either to haave friends or Star Girl.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society because Leos doesnt know if he should choose to stay with his friends or stay with stargirl, because if he chooses his friends hes not ignored, but if he chooses to stay with stargirl then everyone will just ignore him. Also he got mad at stargirl for making the banner that said Stargirl loves Leo, because when stargirl came up to Leo and started talking to him, he just ignored her and walked away. The last reason is that, people are calling Leo Mr. Stargirl because a group of cheerleaders called his name and called him that.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I picked that the primary conflict in stargirl is man vs. society is because…..
ReplyDelete1. Everyone doesn’t like stargirl any more because when stargirl was at the game stargirl cheered for the other team.
2. Stargirl is sad because Leo was ignoring stargirl when stargirl asked him how he liked the sign that said stargirl Leo loves Leo.
3. I’ve been feeling bad for stargirl because she’s been in hard times like people not liking her and her best friend Leo ignoring her stargirl is really feeling bad.
i agre with teandra beacous leo and star girl are bouth agenst then self in a way
ReplyDeletems. sills this is a redo.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I picked that the primary conflict in stargirl is man vs. society is because...
1. Everyone doesn’t like stargirl any more because when stargirl was at the game, stargirl cheered for the other team.
2. Stargirl is sad because Leo was ignoring stargirl when stargirl asked him how he liked the sign that said stargirl loves Leo.
3. I’ve been feeling bad for stargirl because she has been in hard times like people not liking her and her best friend Leo ignoring her.
I think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society because...
ReplyDelete1. Everyone hated Stargirl when she first came to MAHS.
2. When Stargirl did Hot Seat for the first time everyone was getting mad at her and all screaming and yelling and making bad comments to her.
3. Also during the whole entire basketball season even during playoffs to go to the championchips Stargirl kept cheering for her team and the other high schools team. She even ran to the side of Ron Kovac from SVHS and ran with him till he left the gymnasium, but soon after that Stargirl got hit in the face with a tomato and then finally got kicked off the cheerleading squad.
I think that the conflict is man vs.self because when archie said whos affection do you value more he really thinking about it he was split between stargirl or the schools.
ReplyDeletePayton I dont think the conflict is man vs.society because the school isnt coming up aginst leo by shunning stargirl. he only geting shunned because hanging out with stargirl.
I think that the Primary conflict of the story is Man vs. Society because.......
ReplyDelete1.Everyone doesn't her because she was cheering for the other team at the Sun Valley Basketball game.
2.Everyone doesn't like her because she distroyed the Hot Seat show.
3.Last reason is because she went to the funeral and didn't know the people.
Hey Teandra it's me Ashlyn I do agree that the conflict is man vs. society, but your reasons do not go with man vs. society because I don't that just feeling bad for Stargirl will prove that the conflict is man vs. society.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Danny because Stargirl is dealing with having to be hated by her classmates.Another reason is because she was with leo which made people ignore both of them.The last reason why it is Man Vs.Society is because she ruined the basketball game.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society. The reason why i chose man vs. society is because....
ReplyDelete1. The whole School turned against Stargirl when she cheered for the other team during the Sun Valley High School basketball game.
2. In the hallways everyone talks to each other but doesnt talk to Stargirl or Leo they dont even look at them.
3. And even Leo is beginning to feel different about stargirl when everyone started ignoring him and Stargirl in the hallways. But to make it even worse Leo got even more embarrased when Stargirl posted the bulletin on the Roadrunner that said "Stargirl Loves Leo' which made Leo feel like he wishes that he didnt date Stargirl.
Amanda I agree with you because archie gave the idea to leo to choose either the school or stargirl. also i think leo would pick both and the student body would start to like stargirl and then the story is going to go on the hotseat
ReplyDeletei think the conflit is man vs self because leo has to chose to wht he likes better star girl or teh other people.and because leo's firend kevin has to make a desision to be leos friend or be with the other people.and last it because star girl has to choose if she will change for leo and fit in or if she wants to stay the way she is and stay her self and be hated and possobly leo might leave her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Payton because leo does have alot of tough decisions to make. One of which would probably ruin his reputation. I think that if Leo were to break up with Stargirl he would then get his friends back and he wouldnt get ignored. but if he stays with Stargirl he will contiue to get embarassed by Stargirl and have no friends. SDo Leo must chose which is important staying with the person that he cares about or ditching the person that he cares about and going back to his regular life with guilt.
ReplyDeletei agree with nicky because almost all of my reasons are the same as his.i really have nothing else to say i agree with him and we have same reasons almost so.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society.
ReplyDelete1. One reason why is the shunning. One way to show this is how Leo had many friends but after the shunning he only has a few and less that will talk to him still.
2. One other reason is how Leo was affected by Stargirl’s I love you sign on the roadrunner post board and every one told him to look at it.
3. But this one is the most in import reason and it is how everyone sees Leo as Mr. Stargirl and they don’t see him for himself. They see Leo as a part of Stargirl.
-Michael McKay
Payton, I think that you might want to add to your three reasons, that the school doesnt like stargirl so much because she cheered for the other team. I think that stargirls actions at the last game are a big reason why the school doesnt like stargirl. Which leads to why the coflict may be man vs. society. -kaity =]
ReplyDeleteI think the type of in conflict in Stargirl is Man VS. Society because everyone doesn't like Stargirl anymore. Nobody likes her because of that silly little basketball game. Also Leo feels like he should choose the school because nobodys talking him because he hangs out with Stargirl. Also if Leo keeps on hanging out with Stargirl kids at Mica High will do mean things to him.
ReplyDeleteDanny I don't think its Man VS. Self because Leo thinks about the society before he thinks about himself. Leo feels lost without everything not being normal n school. So why should be Leo be bashed if he didn't do anthing.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict is man vs. society because everybody in school is giving Stargirl the silent treatment. I chose this conflict as the primary conflict is because Stargirl is not having any problem with anyone but she is having a problem with society (school). I think that they are giving her the silent treatment because at what happened at the basketball game at Redrock when stargirl went and started to cheer for the other team. I think another reason why they do not like her is because they lost and their perfect season want down the toilet.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in Stargirl could be Man vs.Self .One reason I think Man Vs. Self can be the main conflict is because Leo wants to please Stargirl and everyone else at the same time.He has to choose between them.Also I think he feels the pressure from the shunning at school.Lastly, When Leo went to Archie for advice he got this question to think about "Whose affections do you want the most hers or theirs?". So, The conflict would be Man vs. Self because the problem is within himself and he has to choose.
ReplyDeleteTeandra, I agree that the conflict is man vs. society because of your first reason but I don't agree with your two other supporting reasons. I don't agree that your two other reasons support man vs. society because your third supporting detail is an opinion and your second supporting detail would be a man vs. self conflict. It would be a man vs. self conflict because Leo ignoring Stargirl is his choice and Stargirl isn't the society. I do agree with your first supporting detail though.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self because in the story Stargirl has to choose weather if she is on Stargirl’s side or on the school’s side. For example, when Leo went to Archie’s house, he asked many questions about Stargirl. And at last Archie when to Senor Saguaro and asked him a question. He said “which said are you really on? Her side or the school.” Leo knew what he was asking, but he just didn’t want to answer the question. So Leo has to determine himself about which side is he really on.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict i chose was "Man vs Self". I chose this conflict because after the whole basketball thing and Leo found out about Stargirl liking him he had to chose between Stargirl or everybody else so he had to ask his inner self who he really wanted....Even if he picks Stargirl he still is friends with Kevin and that's his best friend and that's all he needs.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicky because Leo has to make a decision to stay with Stargirl or go with the crowd and also Kevin has to make a decision to ditch Leo like the rest of the crowd.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. One reason I think this is because it is obvious that Leo is in love with Stargirl. He wants to spend as much time as possible with her. Unfortunately, the school is angry at Stargirl. The school is so displeased they are shunning her and giving her the silent treatment. Since Leo is hanging out with her, they shun him too. Leo has a choice to make. He can either ignore it and stay with Stargirl, or he can stop hanging out with Stargirl and get acceptance from the school. This is a man vs. self conflict because Leo has to look deep within himself to make his decision. Another reason it is a man vs. self conflict is that only Leo can progress the plot. The school and Stargirl can make decisions that affect Leo but only Leo can make the main decision and keep the plot moving. A final reason is that Leo isn't really against the society. In this book the society would be the school. The school may be against him by shunning him but Leo is not against the school. All Leo has to do is stop hanging out with Stargirl and he will be accepted. He knows why the school is shunning him. He also knows how to fix it, therefore, he is not fighting with the school (society).
ReplyDeleteDanny, I agree with you exactly. The conflict is man vs. self because he really loves Stargirl but he also wants to be accepted by his friends. Throughout the story was the buildup of how Stargirl and Leo are in love. At the end of chapter twenty -four when Renshaw ignored Leo, this symbolized Leo's desire for his friends back. I like how you used the words "fighting with himself" because that is most likely what he is doing. He is fighting with himself because he can't decide if he should choose Stargirl or the school. We will have to wait to find out!
ReplyDeleteI think the type of conflict in Stargirl is Man vs. self because Man vs. Society can’t really be the conflict because that problem isn't bigger and more of the whole story. And though society is a key part in the conflict Leo has to think to himself “Who’s affection do you need more hers or them”, even though society is the term “them” and a part of the problem their not the big problem which is why Leo really needs to figure out who does he need more and who does he want more. This has something to do with the society, but if you look at the whole picture and you think of what really matters in the story in the end he going to have to make a decision with himself which is why the conflict has to be Man vs. Self
ReplyDelete-SAMANTHA CARTER-
Mss.Sills this is a redue
I think the main conflict in stargirl is man vs. self because Leo's main problem is that he likes Stargirl and he doesnt know who to pick, Stargirl and he wants acceptance from the school. He has to choose between forces with in himself so it is Man vs. Self. Stargirl's problem is Man vs. soceity because the people are against stargirl. That isn't the main conflict because the protagonist is Leo not Stargirl even though she is a main character.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict in Stargirl is Man vs. Society. There are many reasons to support that reason, like the shunning. The Mica High school is shunning Leo because of his decision to accept Stargirl's personality. The second reason why the conflict is Man vs. Society is because Stargirl makes people mad somehow. They should all respect her for what she's done, she helped the football team's attendence go up because of her unusual behavior and cheering. And, the last reason why this story's conflict is Man vs. Society is because aside from the shunning, people aren't giving Leo the attention he needs, like when he was in the courtyard and Renshaw wouldn't even talk to him. Those are 3 examples of how the conflict is man vs. Society
ReplyDeleteI think that the main conflict is man vs self. I think that because
ReplyDelete1.When Leo saw the sign that said "Stargirl Loves Leo" Leo which made Leo think about dating her.
2.When Leo and Stargirl kissed on the front porch they were in clear veiw where everyone could see them and Leo said it was no saint kissing him.
3.When Leo heard about Stargirl at the basketball game he was think about how people was ignoring him and then kevin started ignoring him.
-TYHASIAH BELL-
I think the primary conflict in Stargirl is "man vs. self".I think the conflict would be man vs. self because in Stargirl, Leo is confused about who he should really choose- Stargirl or the "others". Because in Stargirl Archie is talking to Leo and asking him who's affection Leo really values more. Also, everyone in the school is ignoring Leo. So he has to choose if he loves Stargirl or does not want to be ignored. Leo needs to figure out who really matters and who is a more important thing in his life. If he loves Stargirl, than deep down he will choose her. But if he wants the school to stop shunning him than he might have to pick the "others". I think the conflict is man vs. self because Leo needs to figure out this problem by himself.
ReplyDeleteDavid Tapley, I also agree with you. Maybe you should add on to your comment and add more details to help support your response.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE WITH SAMATHA BECAUSE LEO IS PICK WHOS AFFECTION DO YOU VALUE MORE HERS OR THE OTHERS AND HE HAS TO PICK HISELF BUT WHEN KEVIN STARTS EXPLAINIG TO LEO ABOUT THE BASKETBALL GAME LEO STARTS TO THINK ABOUT SR SAGUARO QUESTION AND HES THINKING ABOUT HIM AND STARGIrLS RELATIONSHIP
ReplyDelete-TYHAISAH BELL-
Victoria- I agree with you. You made a good point that Leo does want to please everyone at the same time. He knows that it would hurt Stargirl and himself if he broke up with her, and he also knows that he’ll hurt his friends if he stays. Remember what Archie said a few chapters ago? Leo really is a “dolphin caught in a tuna net.”
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is Man vs. Self. One reason I think this is true is because Leo is constantly making choices that will affect him in one way or another. Because Leo is in love with Stargirl, she affects his choices, also. Sadly, because of the Sun Valley basketball game, among other reasons, the entire school is very angry at Stargirl and they shun her. Leo is dating Stargirl, so they shun him, too. Leo has to decide whether he wants to gain acceptance from the school or whether he wants to stay with Stargirl and ignore the shunning, like she does.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason the primary conflict of this plot is Man vs. Self is that the decisions Leo makes tremendously affect his popularity. Leo chooses to go out with Stargirl, and this brings the shunning onto him, as well.
A third reason I think the conflict of Stargirl is Man vs. Self is that Leo has to choose between Stargirl and his best friend. Leo’s best friend, Kevin, is clearly on the side of his other classmates and is on the verge of disconnecting from Leo, too.
The final reason I think the conflict of this story is Man vs. Self is that Leo’s conflicts are created by his own decisions. The reason the conflict isn’t Man vs. Society is that the school isn’t against Leo. They’re against Stargirl. All Leo has to do is stop hanging out with Stargirl and they’ll take him back.
I agree with Michaela because she's right. Everyone really is against Sargirl and Leo.
ReplyDeleteIt's Emily, I still like yaoi (None of your business)
I think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society. I think this because Leo has to decide if he would like to stay with Stargirl, or if he should leave her and go with the crowd. The second reason I think this is because Leo and Stargirl are now getting the silent treatment, so that is another reason to think about in the man vs. society conflict. The final reason I think this is because Kevin also has to think about if he wants to continue to stay friends with Leo or if he should go with the other Mika Students.
ReplyDeleteBria, I agree with you. I think the conflict is man vs. society. Your responce was very informational and if I never read the book, I could probably get the idea of most of it from just your comment.
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict is man vs. self... because Leo has a problem more with himself then with the society the society is only shunning Leo because he is going out with Stargirl. Leo is trying to figure out what to do with himself. He seems confused because he doesn't know if he can take the shunning anymore. He is sort of in the position where its either Stargirl or society .
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society because they are giving stargirl the silent treatment,they dont like stargirl and got even more mad at hot seat, and also leo is starting to feel a bit different about stargirl.
ReplyDeleteMichael i agree with you about how the main conflict in stargirl is man vs. society i like the reasons you chose to use also.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. One reason I think this is because everyone is giving Stargril the silent treatment and its affecting Leo so he has to make a decision to stay with her or the other students. Another reason is that Stargirl her self could Realize that they're giving her the silent treatment and do something about it but she has to decide what she should do. Finally, Leo's friends like Kevin have to decide wether to actually talk to him or go with everyone else and not even make eye contact.
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with Amanda. I think that the conflict is part man vs. society because the school is agianst Leo but Leo also has to make the decision to stay with Stargirl or not, which makes it Man vs. self. Another part that shows that you are right though is Renshaw. It shows that everybody is ignoring him, even people he doesnt know. But then again that proves my point because it shows he needs attention from other people and he has to figure out if he wants their attention or Stargirls.
ReplyDeleteNoah, I agree with everything you said. The primary conflict in Stargirl is Man vs. Self because the problem is inside Leo and he has to decide so he isn't against the society. I think that a lot of people think the conflict is Man vs. Society because the school is against Stargirl, but Leo is the one with the problem and Stargirl hasn't shown she cares about the whole silent treatment thing. Also I like the way that you described how Leo has to look deep inside himself to make a decison because that is true.
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in Stargirl is man vs self. Leo is in love with Stargirl. However Leo's peers do not approve of Leo's relationship with Stargirl and are shunning them by giving them the silent treatment. Leo has a deep need for acceptance within the school, but also is deeply in love with Stargirl. Leo will have to ask within himself who's admiration does he want more. Stargirl's or the school's?
ReplyDeleteAmanda I like your thinking on how you think its a man vs. self conflict. Maybe if u look into it a little more,then you might be able to see that it is more of a man vs. self conflict then man vs. society. Think of it this way because Leo has to choose between Stargirl of the school and that is him making a decision against himself.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. One reason I think this is because Senor Saguaro made Leo think about whose affection he valued more, Stargirl's or the student body's. Another reason I think this is because when Leo saw the "Stargirl loves Leo" sign on the roadrunner, he first felt elated, but then he became embarrassed because of what other people would think. The final reason I think this is because it can't be man vs. society because Leo isn't fighting the society; the problem is within him.
ReplyDeleteMaria123abc, I disagree. Yes, Leo and Stargirl are being shunned, but Leo is not fighting with the students at school. Also, Senor Saguaro presented Leo with the conflict of man vs. self by saying, "Whose affection do you value more, hers or the others'?" This shows that the conflict is within Leo because he can't decide whose affection he values more.
ReplyDeleteMatt, I agree with you because I also think that right now the stories conflict is Man vs. self because Leo right now is in a situation that he has to choose which side is he really on. And he likes both sides so he really need to think about it because he wants both but he really can only pick one.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs self. I chose that because Leo is fighting with himself right now, he has to choose between Stargirl and the school. Another reason is that no one in his society is fighting with him at this moment. Lastly, Leo is the one who is going to choose between the society and Stargirl and no one is interfering with his decision so that's really his own choice.
ReplyDeleteI believe the primary conflict in Stargirl is one of Man vs. Self.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that perhaps best exemplifies my theory is that Leo himself must choose to either be with Stargirl, or to simply ignore her, the way the rest of MAHS does. The student body holds Stargirl responsible for ruining their undefeated basketball season, and for this they will never forgive her. As a result, they began to shun her. Since Leo is always around Stargirl, he is being shunned as well.
Another reason that supports my opinion is that Leo is not really "against" the school. Kevin even mentioned that the students were really only shunning Stargirl, but that they ended up doing the same thing to Leo because he was always with her. Archie used the analogy, "Poor dolphin, stuck in a tuna net," to describe Leo's position. This shows that the school (society) is not trying to hinder Leo in any way; their real target is Stargirl. Leo and the school are not fighting one another at all.
Additionally, Stargirl herself is experiencing a Man vs. Self conflict. Stargirl declared Leo's and her love by propping a bedsheet over the school road-runner saying "Stargirl + Leo." For this reason, Leo, unfortunately (at the end of Chapter 24), started to ignore Stargirl a bit. Stargirl is a very carefree person, and she is clueless about what is happening around her. However, now that she realizes that her boyfriend is ignoring her, she is going to have to decide what to do to keep their relationship strong.
I think the primary conflict in "Stargirl" is man vs. self. I think this because:
ReplyDeleteFirstly, Leo has to convince himself that the studentbody just doesn't like Stargirl for who she is, no matter how nice she is. Secondly, he had to choice between whos affection he thought was more important to him, the student's or Star's. Thirdly, he had to choice to or not to tell Stargirl the truth about whats happening, about the shunning, even though he thought she wouldn't have cared.
So, I think the primary conflict in "Stargirl" is man vs. self.
Nicky, I agree with your thinking that the conflict is Man vs. Self. One of your reasons supporting your views really got me thinking. You said that Kevin had been experiencing a Man vs. Self conflict. I never really thought about it, but when I drop myself into Kevin's position, he too has to make a choice to either be friends with Leo or to ignore him and Stargirl like everyone else. His choices aren't that much different from Leo's, and I think Kevin is handling his situation much better. Leo has been complaining and worrying ever since his problems began. Leo even chose to follow through with the decision to ignore Stargirl to get the school's acceptance. Meanwhile, Kevin hasn't even said a thing about how bad his problems are, and he has continued to support Leo, his friend in need of help.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I object! If you think about it, the primary conflict in "Stargirl" is man vs. self. Stargirl doesn't notice the others shunning her, only Leo doese. To add on, Leo had to decide whos affection he valued more, Star's or the student body's affection. Thus, the primary conflict is man vs. self because the main character is fighting a force within himself, and the secondary character doesn't even notice what's going on.
ReplyDelete*Yaoi!:3*
i think the main conflict in stargirl is man vs self because leo dose not like not getting attention from everyone and ppl are giving him the silent treatment because of stargirl and is stargirl or all the other ppl in the school
ReplyDeleteelise i agree with you but at the same time i disagree because how is hegoing to maybe have a problem with him self when he is really haveing a problem with everybody not likeing him.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Maria because i think the conflict is "Man vs Self" but i don't disagree with the reason why its "Man vs Society" like how she wrote I think this because Leo has to decide if he would like to stay with Stargirl, or if he should leave her and go with the crowd, but if you really think about it yes Leo has to decide to eithar go with stargirl or the school but he has to think whick one matters more. So it's like you have a devil and an angel on both your shoulders and Leo has to decide between them so he has to which is a "Man vs Self" conflict because he is eithar gonna choose what matters most or what really means something to him and its going to discribe what type of person Leo really is inside.The silent treament is because of the society but the silent treatment only bothers Leo he cares what the society thinks not Stargirl at all which is a Man vs Self "Man vs Self" conflict because it's himself who cares not everyone else. And if Leo loses all his friends it only matters to him, but he still will have Stargirl to talk to and be he's friend, which to him is not enough.
ReplyDelete-SAMANTHA CARTER-
I think the conflict in the book is man vs.self. I think this because in the book their is always a point when Leo is thinking if he should choose Stargirl or his friends. It is always very hard for him to choose because Stargirl, now Susan his girlfriend who he is in love with or his friends. Leo is stuck right in the middle. Another reason is that Leo doesn't hate the society he wishes people would talk to him. And the last reason is that everybody is giving Leo the silent treatment and the shunning.
ReplyDeleteI agree with matt because, the school is against both Stargirl and Leo. And because even people he doesnt know is ignoring him.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self; I think this because like Archie said Leo has to decide between the student body and Stargirl. Another reason why I think the primary conflict is man vs. self is because Leo needs to overcome the fear of what other people think about him. Finally, I think the primary conflict is man vs. self because Leo knows that he wants to be with Stargirl but something inside of him is making the decision hard.
ReplyDelete-Kim Guthrie
Ally,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wrote that the primary conflict was man vs. self the reasons you wrote as to why the primary conflict could be man vs. society made my decision even more hard but I decided that it was probably man vs. self because Leo has to decide himself who he values more his friends or the Stargirl.
-Kim Guthrie
THE primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self.The silent treament is because of the society but the silent treatment only bothers Leo he cares what the society thinks not Stargirl at all which is a Man vs Self "Man vs Self" conflict because it's himself who cares not everyone else. If leo lose keiven then he has no other friens to talk to or hang out with. The silent treatment and the shunning. i think leo will be force to choose between Stargirl and his friend
ReplyDeleteI agree with HEATHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteOwen I agree with you it is Man vs Society. I think the same thing about the shunning because nobody talked to Leo or Stargirl.

The primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. I think this because Leo has to decide if he wants to have Stargirl's love or the school's attention. Also, I think this because he can't make up his mind. Finally, I think that the man vs. society conflict is over already.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Troy because he said that the conflict was man vs. society. Also, I think that Troy was right with the whole basketball thing. Maybe I think that the basketball thing led to Stargirl's change. Finally, I think that what Troy said about Kevin is true.
ReplyDeleteCassie, I now see how "Stargirl" can also be a Man VS Society conflict. Leo is being shunned by the school (the society), because they do not approve of his relationship with Stargirl. For the first time Leo has to choose if he is going to go with or against the society.
ReplyDeleteIf the society did not bring tension to the story there would be no conflict. However Leo also has to keep grappling the question within himself. Who's admiration does he really want more? The school's or Stargirl's?
i think that the real conflict is man vs self. if you look at it like i do leo is at war with himself he can`t decide between stargirl or the crowd of people he used to hang with.he wants to be with stargirl because he likes her alot, but he realizes he cant live without the acceptance of his friends.

ReplyDeleteI think its man vs. self because the whole school(pretty much everybody in the school) is not talking to Leo and Stargirl but Leo doesnt really care because hes to busy thinking about Stargirl's new look.

Shannon, I agree with you, he did get mad at Stargirl for the sign but then he was crazy about her because of her new look so it is man vs. self because he keeps changing his mind about her from the beggining.
-Nicole Pieta :]
I think the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. I think this way because Leo has to decide between Stargirl or the entire student body. Another reason is that Leo had to decide to stay friends with Kevin and be like everyone else or maybe forget about his friendship with Kevin and keep his relationship with Stargirl (Susan). Leo has decide if he wants to continue to take the silent treatment if he stays with stargirl.

I disagree with Owen because Leo is the one who has to decide what do. I agree that Leo should get some attention but Leo made those decisions to be with Stargirl instead of getting some attention from his friends.He has given up his friends to be with Stargirl which shows that he has guts to ignore his friends all for a girl.

i think the main conflict is man vs self because there is a force inside of leo that makes him like stargirl and made him change stargirl. i also think that the reason its man vs self because he had a problem with putting stargirl on hotseat and another reason isi dont think he likes stargirl how she is because they all look the same.
ReplyDeleteCOMMENT:i agree with erik because he gave good examples of man vs self and i also think man vs society is over.
Erick I agree with you that the conflict is man vs. self. I like the reason that the conflict man vs. society has already passed that is very true. Also because Leo can't make up his mind between the school or Stargirl now Susan. If we were talking about a difrent point in the book I would say the conflict would be man vs. society.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict of the story is Man vs. Self. One reason I think this is because in the story he has to deal with the fact that he is being shunned along with the girl he loves. It's also Man vs. Self because he has to decide if he loves Stargirl or being liked by others more. Finally, I think that the conflict is Man vs. Self simply because Man vs. Society does not make a lot of sense. It doesn't make much sense because Leo isn't really against the other classmates. The only thing they’re doing are shunning him and Stargirl.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe that the stargirl conflict is man vs. self.Though society has pushed him to this point its self conflict that makes him value their opinion.If he were more confident and had self esteem there opinion wouldnt matter.there fore the conflict is within himslf.
ReplyDeleteCassie I disagree if Leo had more confidence in himself he'd easily chose who he felt more comfortable with.Unfortunatly he doesnt have that confidenceso he values societys opinion.That doesnt mean its man vs. society it just shows how little he values himself and how he has conflicts he wont face.
ReplyDeleteNoah, I agree with you. It makes a lot of sense that it couldn't be Man vs. Society. I think another reason it can't be Man vs. Society is that it's not like the school is pressuring him to do anything like break up with Stargirl. I also agree with you about the fact that Leo has to decide if he wants to stay with Stargirl or actually be liked. I don't understand why this is such a big problem though. Stargirl really didn't do anything that bad, yet the school is acting like Stargirl just shot the president or something. I mean seriously why would you be this mean to someone if the worst thing they did was cheer for the other team and comfort the other team’s star that had just messed up his leg.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. society because Leo got mad at Stargirl for making the banner that said "Stargirl loves Leo", because when Stargirl came up to Leo and asked if he liked it he just ignored her and walked away. Also, Leo doesnt know if he should choose to stay with the student body or stay with Stargirl because if he chooses everybody else his not shunned, but if he chooses to stay with stargirl then everyone else will just shun him. The last reason is that people are calling Leo "Mr. Stargirl" because a group of cheerleaders called called him that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kaitlyn Talmage because Stargirl cheered for the other basketball team which is why the whole school is shunning her.
ReplyDeleteI think that the conflict is man vs. self. I think this because Leo has to choose between Stargirl and the school. Another reason I think this is because Leo has to find it in himself to tell Stargirl how normal people act oposed to her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amanda even though she choose man vs. self because she gave good defending reasons that made me think that the conflict might be man vs. self.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self.I think this as the primary conflict because Leo has to make the deccision by his self, weather to pick Stargirl or everyone in the school. I think its also the primary conflict because even though he wants to be with Stargirl he doesn't want to keep being shunned by the school. Last I think its the conflict because even though he loves Stargirls new look and likes he alot, but he needs the have his friends back. Those are all choices he need to make byhimself which makes me think the primary conflict is man vs. self.

Calleashley,
i love have in your blog entry
you start out with the problem, and i agree with that man vs. self is the primary conflict.
- Michelle Danowski
I think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self because Leo has to decide if he wants to stay with Stargirl or have everybody in school talk to him and notice him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kim because i think the main conflict is inside of Leo and he has to choose what to do.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in Stargirl is Man VS Society.
ReplyDelete1. The school is still mad at Stargirl for losing the basketball game (even when it wasn’t her fault) and cheering for the other team.
2. The day Stargirl was on Hot Seat everyone was making mean comments to her and yelling at her for cheering for other teams.
3. The school isn’t talking to Leo for being friends with Stargirl, and he basically has to pick the school or Stargirl.

Samantha-
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you, because the society is a sort of a big part of the problem; because the school is against Leo for being friends with Stargirl, also they are still blaming Stargirl for the basketball game that wasn’t really her fault they lost, maybe the school just isn’t as good as Sun Valley High; so instead of them blaming themselves for the lost they blame Stargirl, because she’s been cheering for the other team. One cheerleader isn’t going to change how the game was played. I don’t think Leo should have to choose between the school or Stargirl, because if they hadn’t lost the game and stuff Leo wouldn’t have to choose who’s affection he wanted more. Therefore I disagree with you.

I think the conflict in stargirl now is man vs. society because The whole school is against leo because he and Stargirl go outt, but leo really doesnt mind "the shunning" because he is extatic about stargirls new look.
ReplyDeletei disagree with erik because right now its not man vs. self because leo isnt like going against himself hes going against the school.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self.
ReplyDeleteIts because he's always chosing between something, trying to decide if something is right, or racking his brain on what to do. In Stargirl leo can never decide what to do when he is with Stargirl.
Kerry I agree with you and I think if he realy tries he could have both the things he wants Stargirl and could fit into the crowd.
ReplyDeleteI think it is Man Vs. Society Because
ReplyDelete1. When Leo was talking to Senor Sogoro when he was at Archery’s House, Senor Sogoro said “whose affection you like more? The Schools, Or Stargirl’ s.”
2. Also when he was talking to Kevin, when Kevin said that there not ignoring Leo they’re ignoring he is with.
3. When Leo was ignoring Stargirl, and she thought he was dumping her, and he wasn’t, he just wanted her to be normal.

I Disagree with calleashley because its not man vs. self because leo is caught in between two things . 1. is that the school is Ignoreing him because he is with Stargirl / Susan . 2. is that he likes stargirl and he wants her to be normal .
ReplyDeleteCLAUDIA RUPP
The current conflict in star girl is man vs society because Leo wants to go out wig stargirl but knows if he does all his freands and even non freibds won't like him
ReplyDeleteI think that the conflict is man vs. society
ReplyDeletebecause almost all of the school is giving Stargirl the silent treatment, Hilary made hot seat worse, and also the school is against Leo because he goes out with Stargirl.
Ally, I agree with you that Leo is feeling differently about Stargirl and also I agree with you that its man vs. society.
ReplyDeleteAshley, I agree with you that the conflict is man vs. self. I can understand why you chose those three supporting details. I also agree that Leo has to choose between the school and Stargirl.
ReplyDeleteKadijah
ReplyDelete1)I think its man vs society beacause Leo thinks first about what his friends think bbefore he makes a move
2)because he was happy that she changed her look so that she could look like everyone else
3)because everyone was mad at her for being different and cheering for the other team.
i agree with claudia because when leo ignores star girl and she thinks he dumping her its only cause he wants her to be like everyone else which is something that someone would do when they are conflicted between themself and society
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict in Stargirl is man vs. self. because Leo has to choose if he wants Stargirl or his friends. He chooses Stargirl and instead of still trying to have friends he asks Stargirl to change so he doesn’t have to decide. It think its not Man vs. society because he is choosing if he wants his friends or Stargirl he’s not fighting with the society.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather because she is right that everyone is shunning him and he really wants people to talk to him.
-Kaitlyn Berry
I think the conflict in Stargirl is Man VS. Self. I picked these because stargirl doesnt like to be a nobody so shes trying to act like a somebody, leo likes the way she is now, and leo didnt no who to chose stargirl or his friends.
ReplyDeletebritney, i disagree with you because leo couldnt decide who to pick stargirl of his friend because he was embarresed to pick stargirl but then stargirl changed and he picked her. I think its Man VS. Self
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in stargirl is man vs. self. One reason I think this is because Leo has choose to stay with stargirl or be with everyone els. Another reason is because Kevin has to make a decision to be Leos friend or go with everyone els. A third reason is because man vs. society just doesnt make sense.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maurice because Leo is always choosing between something.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict in stargirl is man vs. self because Leo has been stuck between stargirl and the rest of the school. he finally decided to try to change stargirl after not being able to put up with being shunned.
ReplyDeleteNoah~ I agree that the conflict is man vs. self and i also agree that Leo and stargirl are in love and that there class mates are being unfair and making Leo chose them or stargirl.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict is man vs. self. One reason I think this is because Leo has to decide himself, what to do with what is going on with him and Susan. Another reason I think this is because Leo is shy and is afraid of what people would think of him being with Susan. One last reason i think this is because Leo realizes that he needs to attention from others to feel like he is actually there.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Kadijah because even though everyone is against "Stargirl", Leo still needs to choose for himself.
ReplyDeleteOBJECTION!!!! Ashley, a lot of people think that it is BOTH of our examples. So THERE!!!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding.
