In "Maniac Magee," the last thing Maniac did to the Band Shelter was to run through it, ultimately destroying it. He did this as a symbolic act to confront the divisions and tensions between the East End and the West End of the town. By tearing down the shelter, he aimed to break down the barriers that separated the two communities, reflecting his desire for unity and acceptance. This act signifies his struggle against segregation and his hope for a more inclusive environment.
