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.

The chocolate war, Characters

There are many different characters in the book chocolate war and most of the characters are either Brothers that are teachers in Trinity and students from Trinty. The main character is a little freshman kid called Jerry that is trying out for the football team, he isn't really a type of person who should play sports because he is pretty weak. The second main character would be a person called The Goober (Goubert) which is a tall guy who is also trying out for the football team. There is also Archie which is a very popular kid in Trinity and is the leader of a Gang called the vigils which is a gang in Trinity and Archie also tries to act cool all the time and keeps his cool. There is also another character called Obie who knows also about Archie, for example he knows that Archie's coolness is just a big act and isn't really real and he is sort of Archie's helper and they are sort of friends. There is also a student called Carter who does boxing for Trinity and he is a big buffed up guy who is also apart of the Vigils. There is also Brother Leon which is a teacher in Trinity and also bullies the students of Trinity and picks on them and he isn't a nice person. There is also Jerry's dad which has a bad relationship with Jerry and Janza which is the bully of Trinity high school.

The chocolate war, chapter 21-25

In chapter 21, 4 boys from Trinity named Danny, Kevin, Richie and Howie talk about how Jerry is selling no chocolates and they want to follow Jerry because they are sick and tired of selling chocolates for Trinity and being salesmen because their parents already pay good money for them to get in the school but they also have to sell chocolates too and also Archie and Obie talk about how Jerry are still selling no chocolateseven though he was only to not sell the chocolates for 10 days. In chapter 22, a trinity student named Brian Cochran which was the treasurer and the man who kept notice on how much the school has made from the chocolates and how much each student had sold was talking to Brother Leon about the problem of some students not selling any chocolates and how Jerry wasn't selling any chocolates.

Lastly in chapter 25, basically The Vigils has a meeting with Jerry and tells him to start selling chocolates again.

The chocolate war, chapter 16-20

Throughout chapters 16-20, brother Leon and Caroni talk about Jerry refusing to sell any chocolates and in chapter 17 they tally up the totals of how much chocolates were sold so far. In chapters 18, Jerry and his father has an arguement about his mother and in chapter 19, Jerry still refuses to sell any chocolates because he wants to get in the vigils because maybe he wants to feel more accepted and in chapter 20, the students in trinity annoy Brother Jacques very much.

The chocolate war, chapter 11-15

In the chocolate war, chapters 11-15, the destruction of room 19 happens which is all the desks and chairs fall apart because the Goober unscrewed all the screws from the chairs and desks and brother Jacques quitted because he was the person that took care of room 19 sooner or later in the book. In chapter 12, the trinity boys gets picked for the football team and in chapter 13, Brother Leon talks to school about what happened in room 19. In chapter 14, they check how much chocolates have been sold so far and lastly in chapter 15, Archie and Janza the bully has a friendly chat.

The chocolate war, chapter 1-4

In chapters 1-4 in the chocolate war, it basically just introduces the 4 main characters of the story, Jerry, a freshman that's trying out for the freshman football team even though hes not very good at football, Goober, a guy who is very athletic and is in the freshman football team, Archie, a popular guy in trinity and is the guy who manages what each boy does like sell chocolates, Obie, One of Archie's friend and his assist guy and helps him with managing. In chapter 4 it also tells us that the school has to sell 20,000 boxes of chocolate for 2 dollars each, double the amount from the year before because they need the money for the school to not go bankrupt. My response to the 4 first chapters is that its not very interesting. I think that next each boy in trinity are going to be given some boxes of chocolates and start selling the chocolates.

The boy in striped pyjamas (what I learnt)

From the boy in striped pyjamas book, I learnt many things but the thing that I learnt most about would probably be the holocaust, I learnt how bad and cruel the holocaust was like for example I learnt that the nazi's put the Jew's in gas chambers and made them think that they were just taking a shower and kill them. I also learnt that Adolf Hitlers nick name was the Fury and that alot of the Germans which were nazi's respected Adolf Hitler very much and that they were also very cruel. I learnt that they put Jew's in to a camp and forced them to work to death and if they were too old or too young they would be put in the gas chamber. I also learnt that not all the Germans were Nazi's and some of the disapproved of Adolf Hitler killing all the jews for power, money and revenge.
