 * In chapter 30, The Osprey, main points:**

In this chapter, readers discover a new side to Maddie. She admits that Nathan is awful and realizes that Carl isn't so bad. Carl can relate hugely to Maddie when she says, "He's free, (meaning the osprey). I almost know how he feels". Carl can understand Maddie's feelings at this point because he wants so badly to be free, free of troubles, free of the responsibility of Harley, free of worry for his mother, __and most of all, free from the curse of the Matt's.__ They learn that both Carl and Maddie want to be free and have a different side to them. **197
