Stargirl

Stargirl Stargirl (Chapters 21-27)

In this reading, Leo notices a "tiny wagon about the size of my fist" on Stargirl's bookshelf. What does the wagon and its content symbolize? What does Leo's reaction to the admitted lowest level of the wagon tell readers how he views Stargirl? Use cited evidence from the text (you are permitted to use information from previous readings) in your explanation.

When Stargirl shows Leo her "happy wagon", she explains that when she is happy she adds a stone to the wagon, and when she's sad she takes one away. Leo is shocked by the lowset level because in his words, she doesn't seem to be the type to be unhappy.

“How close to empty did the wagon ever get?” I said.
“Oh…” She turned her face to the ceiling, closed her eyes. “Once, down to three.”
I was shocked. “Really? You?”
