Does Jerry Renault dare to disturb the universe? You wouldn't think that his refusal to sell chocolates during his school's fundraiser would create such a stir, but it does; it's as if the whole school comes apart at the seams. To some, Jerry is a hero, but to others, he becomes a scapegoat--a target for their pent-up hatred. And Jerry? He's just trying to stand up for what he believes, but perhaps there is no way for him to escape becoming a pawn in this game of control; students are pitted against other students, fighting for honor--or are they fighting for their lives? In 1974, author Robert Cormier dared to disturb our universe when this book was first published. And now, with a new introduction by the celebrated author, The Chocolate War stands ready to shock a new group of teen readers.

Archie, Obie, and The Vigils want Jerry to sell the chocolates. They all dont understand why he is continuing to put this stress on him.
Brother Leon wants Archie and The Vigils make Jerry say yes and take the chocolates and Leon says if it doesn't happen, he will ruin The Vigils.
Archie and The Vigils are put in a palce where if they dont get Jerry to sell chocolates, Brother Leon will get rid of The Vigils
They want Jerry to sell the chocolates and they put the stress on him. He needs to do this or The Vigils will be ruined.
1. they feel it is getting out of hand now because brother leon wanted the Vigils to help out with the sale.
