District 9 is a movie about an alien species that accidentally landed their "mother ship" on Earth. The aliens only want to get back to their home on their planet but the military won't allow them to. The aliens are kept in and blocked from human civilization because the African civilians that lived around them were getting frustrated because of the alien's rebellious and inhuman behavior, but one day a South African worker that works for the military gets promoted by his boss and his first assignment is to move the aliens away from any human civilization and be put in to a concentration camp. During his assignment, he gets sprayed with an alien device that was made to re-fuel the alien control ship which controls the mother ship, allowing some of the aliens to go back to their home planet and get help. The spray from the alien device mutates the South African worker and turns him in to an alien, than straight away the military turns all their focus on the mutated worker and abuses him and experiments scientific experiments on him because of the alien's special genetic ability to control alien weapons which is only controlled by a person with alien genes. The mutated worker than escapes and goes in to where all the other aliens are held and ends up helping the aliens so they can get back to their home planet.

The chocolate war, chapter 36-39
In chapter 36, while Janza and Jerry are about to fight, Obie brings up the black box and tells Archie that he has to get something out of the black box because basically everyone in Trinity knows about the black box so he can't refuse, even though Archie is angry, he still acts calm and cool, Archie picks out 2 white marbles and is relieved. In chapter 37, the Goober finally enters the stadium just in time to hear the rules, Jerry gets beat up in the fight until Brother Jacques stops them. In chapter 38, the Goober goes to help Jerry and asks Obie to calls the doctor, Brother Jacques scolds Archie but Brother Leon stops him and says "Boys will be boys". In chapter 39, Obie tells Archie that some day he will get his and Archie shows that he tipped off Brother Leon because he figured that if anything goes wrong for the vigils, Brother Leon can get them out of trouble.
The chocolate war, chapter 31-35
In chapter 31, Janza, with a gang of kids tries to intimidate Jerry and insults him by saying that he lives in a closet and he is a queer. In chapter 32, someone is still calling Jerry and is basically trying to make Jerry scared by calling him at night and saying things like "come out and play Jerry". In chapter 33, Archie tells off Janza for what he did to Jerry because he wasn't suppose to use a group of kids, Janza explains that using a group of kids will damage Jerry more, after the meeting Janza wonders if he will also become apart of the vigils. In chapter 34, Jerry realises that he has become invisible because no one will talk to him and no one will acknowledge him so he tries to find his friend Goober, but Goober isn't at school. Later on Brian Cochran tells Brother Leon that only one student, Jerry has not selled his chocolates so Brother Leon tells Archie so Archie tells Obie to make Jerry sell his chocolates.

The chocolate war, personal response
My personal response to the chocolate war is that it is a pretty good book but it can get boring sometimes because all it practically talks about is mostly Jerry not selling chocolates and other things about chocolate but there are some good parts in the book like when The Goober fills out his assignment fromthe vigils and practically destroys room 19 and made it fall apart. In overall I think the book is pretty good and that it is worth reading.
The chocolate war, significant events
The most significant events that had happened in the book, the chocolate war so far is that Jerry refuses to sell any chocolates, The Goober messes up room 19 and decides to quit the football team, Jerry gets into the football team, Jerry's fight with his dad, The vigils meeting and Jerry calls the girl that he likes.
The chocolate war, Setting
The setting of the chocolate war is mostly around the school like the school oval and the gym and also in the bus stop. In the book the person with the most power would probably be Brother Leon and the second person with the most power would probably be Archie, the leader of a gang in Trinity high called The Vigils. There really isn't very much about the setting to talk about.
