Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Over the weekend, Cara writes Mr. Larson an apology letter, but when she sees him on Monday, she’s too afraid to give it to him. She thinks about skipping his class, but she can’t bring herself to do it. If she does, everyone will know she’s a coward, and worse, “[she] would know that [she is] the biggest, fattest, weakest, lamest, chickenest coward who ever lived” (35).
In class on Monday, Mr. Larson asks the class questions about who read different sections of the newspaper over the weekend, whittling down students until Cara is the only one left. Cara admits the editorials are her favorite part of the paper and, instead of saying something cutting, she explains the editorials are honest and “where you get to see the heart of the newspaper” (41). Mr. Larson gives the class his old newspapers so they can discuss the editorials and share their findings about each paper’s heart. Cara feels good because the class has a real assignment, which gives her an idea for the editorial for her next edition of The Landry News.
