The theme in the book "Stragirl" by Jerry Spinelli is that you should never forget who you are as a person and that you should always be yourself and let no one stop you from doing so because by being yourself you are being the best you that you can be. My reason for thinking this is on page 48 where the text states ,"What I recall then, when the last detail had been spilled, is a period of whispers and waiting. Tension. What would happen now? Would the jury’s open hostility spill over into the classrooms? How would Stargirl react? Answers were expected on the following day, Valentine’s Day. On previous holidays-Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Groundhog Day-Stargirl had left a little something on each desk in her homeroom. Would she do likewise this time? The answer was yes. Each member of Homeroom 17 found a candy heart on his or her desk that morning.” This proves my theme because even though people threw so many insults at her about being herself the next day she still came in herself happy and nice as always and that is a very good lesson because you being forced to be someone you don't want to be can lead to depression or worse because you are not doing what makes life worth living for you. In conclusion the the of "Stargirl" is to always be yourself and don't let anybody get in the way of it.
