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.
