"Scorpions"

In my book "Scorpions" the main characters name is "Jamal".  At school Jamal is having a hard time.  The teacher doesn't leave him alone, the kids don't leave him alone, and the principle gives him a hard time.  Jamal's mom is always yelling at him too.  The only person Jamal can count on is his best friend "Tito".   Jamal is in a gang called "Scorpions" and now they want Jamal to take over as the leader of the gang and sell cocaine.  Jamal dosnt want nothing to do with the gang, but he has no choice.  Jamal only does this to get the money for Randys appeal.  Jamal thinks that everything will go okay if he has Tito by his side.

A sign post I am going to use is Aha moment.  In the book "Scorpions" Jamal is always being asked questions by gang members.  In the story they ask him to sell crack and he says yes.  Then I tough and said "Aha" thats why they keep asking him questions.  They also kept saying to going the gang.
