Summary:
When gang initiation threatens his younger brother, James summons the courage to make up his own mind.
Teaching Ideas:
The narrative may remind readers of peer pressure and coming-of-age stories to share in discussion or writing. Students may want to discuss methods gangs use to attract children and ways parents or adults can intervene. They may also want to share safety measures to teach younger children. Some adults may find the child's point of view in telling the story disconcerting.
