Prediction

For my second reading book I am reading The Battle of Jericho. I am going to reflect what was one of the most significant moments so far. Going back ,Jericho, the main character was at school he was with his cousin Josh and his friend Kofi. They were eating lunch when suddenly they see the Warriors of Distinction which is a club highly respected by the whole community. The club even conducts a toy drive at the holiday season for needy children. But under the surface the club has many undisclosed activities known only to those who go through the secret initiation rituals. They have asked them to meet them at a warehouse for a secret meeting at 12 am. Jericho, Josh and Kofi are very excited but crepped out about the meeting because it seemed very mysteries but they wouldn't miss it for nothing. Basically Jericho and his friends were asked to pledge for the Warriors of Distinction. So they did. The pledge consisted in all the things they agreed to do and be. They pledge that they will be loyal, obedient etc. One day Jericho and Kofi were at the mall shopping for Christmas gifts when they see Rick one of the official members of the club. He tells them that he is in a mission he is buying ornaments for the Christmas tree that they are gonna give to the children in need. He tells them that they will receive a challenge to see if they really want to be considered an official member. He tells them to go to store and grab some ornaments for the tree. I believe this is one of the most significant moments so far because Jericho has to make a decision whether to do something he doesn't agree in, to gain acceptance from the most popular kids in school, or go with his beliefs and loose an opportunity that might change his high school years.
