choclate war
Robert Cormier wrote The Chocolate War. The copyright of the book is 1974. 2. In the exposition of The Chocolate War, Jerry Renault, the freshman quarterback, was receiving constant blows from opposing players. Jerry was trying to get the ball to his receiver, the Goober, but not having any luck. In The Chocolate War, the rising action was the majority of the story. At Trinity High School, the school that Jerry attends, there is a group of "elite" students called the Vigils. The Vigils give out "assignments" to random students at Trinity. Archie, the head, told the Goober that his assignment was to unscrew every screw in Room nineteen. The Goober spent several hours doing his assignment, and eventually finished with the assistance of a few Vigil members. As the story goes on, the reader learns that every year at Trinity, there is a chocolate sale run by the assistant head master, Brother Leon. The last major detail in the rising action was when Archie informed Jerry of his assignment, Jerry's assignment was not to sell chocolates for the first ten days of the annual chocolate sale. The climax of the novel was on the eleventh day of the chocolate sale when Jerry was supposed to start selling the chocolates but
4. The story doesn't actually state a certain time period in which the story takes place, but I'd say the story takes place in the late seventies or the early eighties. Most of the story takes place at Trinity High School in a town that the author doesn't reveal. 9. The mood of The Chocolate War is sorrow. The author makes the reader feel sorry for Jerry when he gets beat up on two occasions. Neither time was for a very good reason. I felt sorry for the Goober when he was crying after receiving his assignment. 8. The Chocolate War was told from about a dozen characters' points of view. This point of view would be third person omniscient. Had the author chosen to tell the story from just one point of view, I wouldn't have been aware of so many details only made available through a third person omniscient point of view. 6. The main antagonist was Archie Castello. Archie is a cold-hearted selfish individual. By forcing students to do the "assignments" that they didn't want to do and making the Goober cry, Archie proved himself to be very cold-hearted. Archie using Emile in the boxing match so he didn't have to get beat up and taking all the credit for the chocolate sales proved Archie to be quite selfish. 7. Jerry agreed to fight in a boxing match knowing that he didn't have much of a chance because he didn't want to be like a coward and he didn't like getting pushed around. 5. Jerry Renault, the protagonist in The Chocolate War, is a brave and caring
