Summary:
Things in Trinity are really starting to heat up now that the chocolate fundraising project is in place. Even though Brother Leon enthusiastically introduced the project and its purpose, nobody seems to reallybe willing to buy chocolate anymore, making the extra 50 boxes to sell a burden of a task. Local neighbors wont even bother buying ONE to help the school! Also, as states from the back cover of the novel, Jerry's 'loyalty' is being tested by The Vigils.
Quote:
"He turned over, dismissing his doubts and calling to mind the figure of a girl he'd seen downtown the other day. Her sweater had bulged beautifully, her schoolbooks pressed around her rounded breasts. If my hands were only those books, he'd thought longingly. His hand now curled between his legs, he concentrated on the girl. But for once, it was no good, no good" (Cormier 123).
Reaction:
I'm actually kind of dissapointed. I mean, I was kind of expecting the difficulties of selling a total of 50 boxes of chocolates, but I'm kinda sad. It kinda makes me think about today's world: Nobody is willing to spend a few bucks when it comes to helping something/someone. In this case, a school. Also, the quote that I picked, I kinda like how we can see his 'love birdy-ness' now. We can obviously tell he likes girls with big boobs, and that he would rather have her an his shoulders than 50 boxes of chocolate. I'm still eager to read till' the end of the novel, though (aside from it's predictiveness -___-).
