Chocolate War Ch 10-20
1. In your opinion, should Jerry have said no to selling the chocolates?
yes
2. Where does school spirit begin and end? Where do you draw the line? Think about the kinds of things that happen between BHS and GA during football season.
I think you should support your team but you shouldn’t have to vandalize the other teams stuff
3. Should you make sacrifices for your school? Talk about an experience you have had with fundraising at school. What was it like?
Yes should but a large amount because you do have a life outside of school that you have to make sacrifices for , yes school is very is important but so is you life. We have had fun raisers at school but none so serious as in the chocolate war, you had to go to people in your neighborhood and ask if they would like to buy candles, or get your mom to take it to work. The person that got the most got a prize of some sort. Once in like 3rd grade i was one of the people that raised the highest amount of money but I just got some little toys ad a shirt.
4. What makes Brother Leon a bully? Give examples. Where does he cross the line?
Brother Leon becomes a bully because of the way he handles Jerry not selling chocolates like in roll call when he just gives him the death eye, he crosses the line when he tries to black mail his friend into making Jerry sell the chocolates.
5. Do you think the world is made up of either “victims or victimizers?” Explain.
I think they are made up of both become you can be the victim in a situation like the kid that got blacked mailed of the victimizer like Brother Leon
6. How does Brother Leon bribe David Caroni? Would someone else be able to bribe you with a grade?
He tells him that if he gets Jerry to sell chocolates that he would over look his paper and regrade it. He gave him a F the first time and would regarde it fairly this time. No because I would put up a fight and tell them I would not get involved in it, probably go see someone and tell them.
7. Why does Jerry refuse to sell the chocolates after the assignment is over?
To prove that he can stand up for himself and prove that he is not scared
8. Jerry feels sick every morning because he has to face Leon. What physical symptoms of stress have you experienced in stressful situations?
When I got in a fight with my friends and I feel sick having to deal with them being upset , and not evening knowing why they were mad
9. Should the other Brothers do something about the Vigils? If the Vigils existed here at GA, would you want teachers to do something about it? Explain.
I think they should let it be for the moment because getting involved with it would only get worse, I don’t think I would gangs usually tend to stay to their self and own people, just don’t get on their bad side
10. Does bully happen at GA? Is anything done about it? Why or why not?
It does happen and it is because the way our generation looks upon it, that you are not able to except that you lost and you get downgraded for going to get help
yes

200 word blog respones
“Dare I disturb the Universe” means a lot in this book, there is a lot of disturbing of the peace and even the way the school works. When Jerry refuses to sell chocolates he is disturbing the way the school works. The chocolate sell is something they do every year it is expected of the students to sell chocolates and help the school raise money. Jerry doesn’t sell the chocolates at first because he was given the assignment to not sell chocolates for ten days by the vigils. Brother Leon give upset and bulls him in secret way of roll call, Jerry states that he can see it in his eyes the angry. This doesn't not make jerry back down he makes a difference he shows that he will not do what every one else does , that he is not a sheep he doesn’t fallow the herd he is the wolf. He knows he is going to get bulled and have people look down upon him but he sees the light in this. He is disturbing the peace in the school the cycle of the school or disturbing the universe. Some of his friends even get blacked mailed in to trying to make him sell chocolates.
