“Lodge 341 in the Vermissa Valley made it difficult for the people to live peacefully.” Justify the statement with at least two evidence from the text.
Lodge 341 or the scowlers were more than a fraternity of brothers. they were more like a violent gang or like an organized crime similar to the mob or mafia. Consider McMurdo's initiation. At McMurdo's initiation the head of Lodge 341 wears "a flat black velvet cap upon his shock of tangled black hair." McMurdo had to undergo pain and the threat of more to pass the initiation. He is Stout of Heart said the voice. Can you bear pain?
