The Chocolate War (pages 51-100)

Summary: I began to notice that just like in To Kill a Mockingbird, the first few words of a new chapter is in capital letters. I guess every author does that. Anyway, Jerry seems to be hangin out a lot with his gang "The vigils" in this section of the book. They were recruiting members to become a part of the gang in this section. Also the fundraiser seems to be heating up as well.


Quote: "Jerry's hands were joined like a duck's bill waiting to swallow the ball." (Cormier 77).


Reaction: I chose this quote because I think it shows a good use of a comparison (a simile). I think it does because it makes you really envision a duck and a duck's bill being closed together. Anyway, this quote is a quote that has to do with football. Jerry seems to be at practice and the coach seems to like what he is doing on the field. The coach seems to love to swear since he does not accept you as a player unless he called you a "son of a .....".
