In the Book In the Movie
   Carla is in a stable, loving, long term relationship with Louden. He is always kind to her. Carla is only staying with the Swains until her car is fixed and she can move on to San Francisco. He tries to force himself on her one time, Carla hits him in the face.
   Louden is 5'11” and is trying to get down to his wrestling weight of 147 pounds. He usually weighs about 190 pounds in the off season. Louden is over 6 feet tall and trying to reduce his weight from the 190 pound class to 168 pounds.
   Louden wants to wrestle Gary Shute, the best 147 pound class wrestler in the state. Shute is a bit shorter and has a similar build. Louden wants to wrestle Brian Shute, the best 168 pound class wrestler in the state. Shute has a much heavier build than Louden.
   Louden and Shute are friendly towards each other. Louden has seen Shute wrestling in person and on film. Shute is not friendly and tries to intimidate Louden. Louden attends a meet and is shocked at how soundly Shute defeats his opponent.
   Louden's English teacher is white and enjoys dating/sleeping with students. Louden respects but is a bit afraid of him as he once saw Tanneran cold cock a drunk with a wine bottle. The English teacher is black and well liked by Louden. Louden gets jealous when he sees Carla on a date with Tanneran.
