This assignment, by Ms. Marcus, symbolizes the fact that Lonnie is one foster child among a class of people who are not part of the system. While Ms. Marcus has had a positive influence on Lonnie up to this point, he is furious that she would make this assignment because it hurts him to think about the parents he lost.
