In this chapter, we learn that Henry has decided to move out of the island and become a "legal adult" . He tells us that he's been dreaming of traveling the world since he was a young child, and that he doesn't think he'll ever be able to fulfill his dream. He says that he and henry don't discuss his plans with each other, but that he has decided that it's best for him to leave the island. He's not going to marry anyone, he says, because he'd rather have beautiful children than ugly ones. He also says that if he marries someone, they'll all be beautiful and graceful, and he won't be as ugly as he is. But then he accidentally drops his bicycle on top of a tree, and the dirt on his back gets all over him. He apologizes, and says that his voice has gotten a lot better since then. He thinks that Charles Sawyer and Sarah Gillis are leaving the island, too, so he tells Henry to straighten his back when he walks.
