Reading Questions

b. Her father named her Starr because she was his hope/light when he was dealing with people around him being killed.

c. Her uncle Carlos gave her this name because he knew she would one day become an activist.

7. Who shows up at Momma’s work? Why do you think she shows up? Use evidence from the text in your response.

Chapter 6:

6. How does Starr act at Williamson? Why do you think she acts this way? Use evidence from the text to support your response

answer: She tries to act like she is like the others at Williamson. I think she does that, because it’s easier. You can see it because of that she talks different at Williamson.

answer: She doesn’t act like herself, she thinks that she has to change in order to keep her friends.

answer: She talks different, wears different clothes and acts different. She doesn’t talk about what is happening at home and everybody tells about their spring break and they go to the Bahama’s or so and she doesn’t go on that kind of vacations. I thinks she acts this way because she wants to be different. She can’t act the same way she does at home, because people are going to think she is different than the rest.
