"Horn! It doesn't matter. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise." p. 1282
Wait, is this the same Laura who screamed when Tom broke some of her figures earlier in the story? Yes and no. Physically, she is still obviously still Laura. But, physiologically, she seems to be a different person. Before, she was lonely, barely spoke and was reserved. Around Jim, she has opened up, danced, and feels as pretty as Jim tells her. Jim says once that she is different, but in a good way; she is unique. This made me think to why the unicorn was her favorite figurine. It too was lonely because it was different. Once the horn is broken, Laura says, "The horn was removed to make him feel less - freakish!" Jim removed Laura's horn to make her more like the rest of the horses, but still different.
