Final Review

This book is very interesting and insightful.  "The Chocolate War" by Robert Cormier can teach you a lot about the life of teenage boys. I liked it a lot because I can relate it to so many things that go around in the real world. The Vigils, which is the name of Archie Costello's gang, go around Trinity High School and cause all sorts of trouble. This gang creates assignments for other students that could trouble the school, and the students who commit these acts. Jerry Renault is the Protagonist in the novel. The Vigils gave him an assignment to refuse to sell chocolates at the schools annual chocolate sale. Jerry Renault does not feel comfortable doing this, which causes the major conflict of the book. Gangs are formed in the real world and they control their surroundings just like the Vigils. They make people do things that they might not be comfortable with. I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy controversy and reading about major conflicts. I really enjoyed this book and I think a lot of other people will too.
