The Chocolate War - Summarizer

                                                          The Chocolate War

For my job, I was the Summarizer of my group. I had to write a summary on what we read for our first group meeting together. We all chose to read The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. We read until Chapter 10 and it was 67 pages long. The book switches from one scene to the next and back another scene so it might be a little confusing.

The book started off with a boy named Jerry Renault trying to make the football team as a high school quarterback. Then in the next scene, Archie, the Leader of the Vigils, who are an organization who run the school, and Obie, his assistant, are selecting who should be in the Vigil group or not. They select 10 people, one of which includes Jerry Renault. During the selection, we learn that Jerry lives alone with his father because his mother died of cancer. Then a couple of days later, Archie ordered twenty thousand boxes of chocolate for the school's annual fair. So they are selling double to make the school satisfied. Then the interviews begin. The first person to be interviewed was Roland Goubert, the wide receiver of the school football team. He was very nervous because of the way Archie acted towards him and he did not have a clue what he was doing there. He was told a mission by Archie. His mission was that he had to go to a classroom, but not just any classroom, but Brother Leon's classroom, and unscrew all of the screws inside the room. During the day, before the mission, Brother Leon made a straight "A" student think he was a cheater but it was just a fake thing to do and made all of the other people in the class look bad and look like clueless kids. That night, as the Goober started unscrewing everything in the classroom, it took him two hours to do one row of seats and thought it would take him all night and all day the next day but he got help from about a dozen people in black clothes and masks who helped him throughout the night and they finished in three hours.
