Plum Street. Chapter 38
In chapters 33-39 of "Maniac Magee," some major events include Maniac learning about his own parents and their accident, Maniac making friends with the McNab brothers, a race between Maniac and Mars Bar Thompson, Maniac trying to unite the East End and West End communities, and Maniac confronting his fear of Heights.
He's on route 214, in the cave.
How does Maniac Magee's ability to bring people together in racially divided East End influence the community's perceptions of race and unity?
John McNab is angry at Maniac because Maniac beats him in a race, showing him up in front of his friends. This challenges John's reputation as the fastest runner in town and threatens his status. John's pride is hurt, leading him to hold a grudge against Maniac.
Maniac raced because he wanted to prove to himself and others that he was capable of winning despite his inner struggles and insecurities. Racing provided him with a sense of purpose, achievement, and a form of escape from his personal hardships.
