"Hey' there, guy. I wouldn't ... I wouldn't be in your shoes ... I wouldn't be in your shoes for a thou, boy, a mill ..." He punched Jerry playfully on the arm. -Pg 97
Jerry opened his locker. He had thumbtacked a poster to the back wall of his locker on the first day of school. The poster showed a wide expanse of beach, a man walked on the beach, a small solitary figure in all that immensity. At the bottom of the poster, these words appeared- Do I dare disturb the universe? - pg 97
It would be so easy, really, to yell "Yes." To say, "Give me the chocolates to sell, Brother Leon." So easy to be like the others, not to have to confront those terrible eyes every morning. Brother Leon finally looked up. The tempo of the roll call had broken.
"No," Jerry said. - pg 98

I think that the third quote finally shows that Jerry is not going to give in. He has made it this far and I think that he can't turn back because it will show that he is weak.
The third quote is talking about how Jerry wont accept the chocolates because he is getting too much recognition for his actions and if he decides accept the cookies, he will seem weak.
