   Julie
2. Statue of Liberty
   giraffe

If a noun is a person, place, or thing, a proper pronoun points to a SPECIFIC person, place or thing. Friday is a specific day of the week, and while day wouldn't get capitalized, Friday does. Julie is a particular person, but girl wouldn't get capitalized.
