Mikey then digs into the cereal and with excitement the two older brothers yell out “he likes it, hey Mikey!” As soon as the commercial starts ethos becomes immediately apparent with three brothers at a table eating breakfast in a traditional family setting.

The novel starts off with the introduction of the school’s fundraiser—every student volunteering to sell at least fifty boxes of chocolates—of the all boys’ Trinity High School. Under the direction of Brother Leon, who has become the replaced headmaster, boys are virtually pressured into selling the amount of boxes assigned. However, when a freshman, Jerry Renault, decides to stand against the sales, the whole order of things in the school is demolished.
