The name of the narrative is "Resistance to civil government (Civil Disobedience)" by Henry David Thoreau.
In his essay, David Thoreau described that individuals shall not give the Government to overrule their consciences. Because if people as a society allow this, we basically allow the Government the power to do injustices without any consequences.

Dear Jessie,
I hope this letter finds you well and that you're doing well in your new school. I'm so happy that you're attending my former school since I have already finished high school and in the same institution as you, I will give you some precious advice.
First of all, it is a very prestigious school they only admit the best students. There's a dressing code that you must respect, the school is very strict about it. Also, the classes are great, you'll learn a lot, but be aware that the teacher's exigence is high. They give the best of themselves and expect the same from their students. Lastly, there're plenty of clubs that you can join where you will gain experience and knowledge for the future, don't hesitate to join some of them.
As this is a prestigious school, you should study hard, be punctual and respectful towards your classmates and teachers. The students there're very friendly and always ready to help you, it is easy to make friends, just be yourself and enjoy your time there.
Best wishes!
Kendall.

Answer:
Trey is the third child of a family. Since families in the story are limited to only two children, third children are illegal and are immediately captured, jailed, or killed by the Population Police, a group organized to enforce the "third child law." Trey lived with his parents until his father's death. He was taught by his father and excels academically. However, when his father died, his mother dropped him off at a school, saying it wasn't safe for them to be together. Trey struggles with abandonment issues and can't decide if he's angrier at his mother, his father, or himself.
As the story opens, Trey is trying to make contact with a man that he and some other children believe will help him, Mr. Talbot. But before Trey can gain entrance into the house, the Population Police arrive and he narrowly escapes capture. Trey's friends escape and he lives in fear over the coming days, hiding out in the house that is now abandoned.
Trey then meets Mark, the older brother of Trey's friend, Lee, who is also an illegal third child. Mark learns that Lee has probably been captured and sets out to rescue his brother, demanding Trey's cooperation. They arrive at the house they believe will lead them to Lee only to discover it's been taken over by the Population Police. Mark attempts to get inside but is captured. Trey asks to join the Population Police as a means of getting into the house. Once he is there, he finds Mark locked in a cage but eventually makes a deal with a soldier to trade Mark's freedom for Trey's efforts to free a friend of the soldier. Trey, still disguised as a Population Police officer, sets out to do so but the road to success is filled with problems. He is attacked twice by mobs of hungry people and arrives at the prison only to discover the prisoner he's helping free as part of his deal with the soldier turns out to be Mr. Talbot. The soldier is a rebel working against the Population Police from inside.
Lee is also released and the boys, along with another soldier who helps them escape, arrive at a secret house where another friend, Mr. Hendrix, has been left alone because the police believe he can't possibly survive. Trey struggles with the idea that he's acted bravely when necessary despite his self-image as a cowardly person. Trey discovers a list of one hundred other third children and determines to volunteer for the Population Police with the hope that he can mount attacks from within. He believes the children themselves are the key to eliminating the Population Police. He's joined by several of the others, including Mark, who promises to join them as soon as he recovers from a broken leg.
