Quote
"...was this him actually defying Brother Leon? Not only Brother Leon but a Trinity tradition?" (Cormier 85) Reaction Is Jerry crazy? I'm sure this is what most of the students were thinking after they herd the word "no" repeatedly come out of his mouth. Jerry had went againts one of the most important traditions at the school, and that is something you just do not do. He must know that Brother Leon will not take this lightly and most lickley punish him. So what would cause Jerry to not want to take part in the chocolate sale?
