- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing when Louise reacts strongly to Manon. Invite your reader to consider what each girl might want, without assuming the rivalry ends in reconciliation.
- Themes
- Rivalry and recognition: Louise expects to get the leading role in her class's production of Carmen, but sees new pupil Manon as a rival. The conflict makes Louise's reaction to attention and perceived merit central, but the synopsis does not show how the story judges either girl.
- Worth knowing
- Louise is described as crying with rage over her rival. The extent of this emotional conflict, and how it develops, is not clear.
