Autism affects the areas of the brain that direct abstract thought, language, and social interaction, and Temple displayed the classic symptoms of the condition in her earliest years- she spoke little, did not like to be held or touched.

Instead Temples's mother enrolled her in speech therapy. and at home her mother read to her constantly. The family was also able to afford a caregiver whose job it was to play with Temple and keep her from retreating into a corner, as autistic children prefer.

But, what he didn’t notice was that she wasn’t as happy as he was. She liked being different. In conclusion, I felt that during the part of the novel where Stargirl returns to being “Susan” is unfair to Stargirl cause like I said before “Be who you want to be not who people want you to be.” 8) The author Jerry Spinelli plays two major events in the novel off of each other (the basketball game and the oratorical contest).

Josephine Alibrandi argues with her mother about her visiting her grandmother after school, her school behaviour, her mother’s personal life, her mother’s relationship with men other than her father and her own relationship with Jacob Coote.

Throughout the novel, Josephine is pressured by her friends to do something which she believes isn’t right. An example of this is the walk-a-thon where Josephine is put in charge of taking care of the back of the group but she abandons her duty as her friends convince her into skipping school to meet a celebrity.

Towards the end of scene 2 Mrs Adams does not want to leave her little girl in a place like this, but has no option.

Matron does not want Mary to apply, this is because the job Mary wanted was in Eastbourne and this is where Mary’s boyfriend lived, Matron is very reluctant to even let Mary ring the employer but realises its Mary’s life and she has to make her own decisions for herself. The acting style of my piece was Naturalism, and the presentation style was Realism.
