Chocolate War

A detailed Summary of Chocolate War

"In Literature, evil often triumphs but never conquers." This quote means that sometimes evil has the tendency to overcome us but the good always prevails.

I agree with this quote in terms of the character Jerry in the novel the Chocolate War by, Robert Cormier, because Jerry Renault a regular old kid who wasn't trying to hurt anyone when deciding not to sell the chocolates, was actually going for what he believed in.

In the end, Emile Janza one of the main characters who ended up beating on Jerry, and where as having good prevail over evil seemed like an impossible thing bu
