Chapter Summaries & Analyses
When Martin opens the email from Villanova, he is delighted to find out that they have accepted him to the college with a full scholarship. Martin shouts so excitedly that it startles everyone at the internet café where he is using the computer. He is so elated that he almost leaves the café without paying for using the computer.
The email says that a package will be sent to Rebecca’s office at the US embassy with further information that will help Martin acquire a visa to study in the US. Martin rushes to Rebecca’s office, where the package is waiting. Rebecca congratulates him and tells him, “A lot of people believe in you, Martin” (360). She offers to call Caitlin and her family on the phone so that they can share the good news together.
Two hours after Caitlin’s mother receives the call about Martin’s full scholarship to Villanova, Caitlin and her mother receive another call from the US embassy in Zimbabwe. Martin has called from Rebecca’s phone to tell them the good news, which they already know. They rejoice. Caitlin’s mother asks to speak with Rebecca, in order to coordinate what they might need to prepare Martin’s visa to the US.
