Ella Minnow Pea: Chapter 15 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Ella writes a note to herself, horrified that 8 tiles fell with only 24 hours remaining in her challenge. She writes that the end is near and she wonders where she can get some paint.
Ella’s note to herself, wondering where the paint might be, displays her utter hopelessness. Georgeanne poisoned herself using lead paint, so Ella’s comment suggests that she is contemplating suicide in order to escape her current plight. Ella clearly feels that her freedom of expression is so curtailed that it is almost not worth living.
