How does Starr stand out at Garden Heights? How do her clothes show that she is different? The hate you give

Starr stands out from her neighborhood of African Americans by going to a mostly white school and adopting her identity to fit both communities. This is also reflected in her clothing that doesn’t fit her school identity enough (she takes off a hoodie before she enters) but also feels too unoriginal and unfitting for her neighborhood community (which we see when Kenya comments on her style at the party).

Explanation:

Starr is different from the rest of her neighborhood, Garden Heights, as she goes to the school where mainly white kids go and have to balance her two identities. She states that she has Starr version one and two – one is connected to her black roots and race, using slang and listening to rap, but version two is reserved for school, where she has to be polite, non-argumentative, and quits using slang, even when white children do. However, this makes her stand out even in her own community, as she doesn’t feel she fits enough in any of them. She feels almost as if she’s too white (despite being black) in Garden Heights.

In the party scene, we see Kenya critiquing her clothes as too “basic”. In the book, she also says her hairstyle (simple pony tale) feels basic compared to other girls’ curls, afro’s, and colors. That means that compared to other people at the party in Garden Heights, she is too unoriginal and mainstream. Kenya thinks she looks too relaxed and not feminine enough compared to other girls. The basic girl is usually the title in a pejorative sense to the girl liking unoriginal things all other (usually white) girls do, something that is uninteresting and lacking personality. The clothes Starr wears make her feel again not enough “here or there”, meaning not enough part of any community.

In Garden Heights everyone see's Starr different because she goes to all whites school away from Garden Heights "Williamson."  Her clothes she wears shows that even though she from the ghetto, she wears cloths the "rich" kids would wear with her brand new white Jordon's; that only whites can afford, unless you buy from a yard sale; then they would be real old looking, not band new.

Hope that helps

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
