In Jerry Spinelli's "Stargirl," an example of an oxymoron is the phrase "jumbo shrimp," which reflects the contrast between Stargirl's unique, vibrant personality and the conformist attitudes of her peers. This juxtaposition highlights the tension between individuality and societal expectations. Stargirl embodies the essence of being both extraordinary and relatable, illustrating the complexities of self-identity.
