Clair: Clair tries to cheer “Me” up by saying, “Isn’t this nice? You’re going home at last…” but she does not sound happy.

Knute: Knute says nothing but stands with his hands balled in fists in his pockets and looks at the ground.

Epilogue

Harris sends a letter:

• Harris tells about how he tried to run over Ernie with a wheelbarrow.

• Glennis still hits him when he swears

• Knute broke a finger but it doesn’t bother him

• Clair is cooking

• In other words, everyone is acting the way we would expect

The gift is the little carved figure Louie made of him. This is important because there was a figure for each member of the Larson family. Having his own figure meant that “Me” was a part of the family and that he belonged there.
