There are several differences between Robert Cormier’s The Chocolate War and its movie adaptation by Keith Gordon however there is as many, if not more, similarities. Both the book and the film follow the major theme of disturbing the universe, which is essentially what Jerry does throughout the plot. The term “disturbing” is to interfere with the normal arrangement or functioning of something. In a literal sense, the term “universe” is a world in which something exists or prevails, but in a figurative sense it could be, threw the novel, interpreted in three different ways.

Bystanders have the most power in the word. In The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, a boy named Jerry Renault is told by the vigils to not sell the chocolates for ten days. After the ten days, he decides to not sell the chocolates.

One way that the events of The Chocolate War were similar to Nazi Germany was that the people watch people were targeted for having different beliefs.

The major themes of this novel include discussing the topics of unchecked authority/power, fear, manipulation, psychological impacts, and the consequences when a person disturbs the order of a certain societal hierarchy. There is a very noticeable power struggle within this novel, between Brother Leon, the Vigils, Jerry Renault, and the rest of the school kids and staff. The Vigils have always been in power at Trinity, they constantly use this to their benefit and have been able to make students do whatever they want without the interruption of the teachers, despite the fact that the teachers do seem to know what is going on. Brother Leon acts as the one person more powerful than the Vigils and The Vigils and Brother Leon seems to blend their powers and work alongside one another.
Everyone wants to fit in either in school or at work and in the short essay “White Lies”, Erin Murphy discusses how a little girl is being bullied at school and what she does to prevent it. In the fourth paragraph it states, “ All of this changed in mid-October when Connie’s father got a job at a candy factory, news Connie announced tentatively one rainy day during indoor recess” (Paragraph four). Because Connie was an albino she was viewed differently in everyone’s eyes. She decided to announce to everyone that her father worked in a candy factory, therefore everyone would like her. When the news came out everyone started to like Connie because she bought everyone free candy.

For my term paper I have chosen the book by William Golding called “Lord of the Flies”. This, perhaps his most popular novel, played a significant role for him receiving a Nobel prize for literature in 1983. In relation to the subject of utopia and dystopia Lord of the Flies is a perfect example of the transition between these two concepts and so in this paper I will especially focus on this matter.
And Jerry want helping to achieve it. The sale of the chocolates wasn’t going well. Brother Leon was discontented about the low sale and the students lacking motivation to reach the goal of the fundraising.

The Luxury object I have chosen is the Chocolate pot. Hot Chocolate became such a popular drink during the 1600-1900 Period that in turn they began creating specific pots and cups solely for the consumption of the drink.

Although the silver chocolate pot came before the ceramic chocolate pot, I find the ceramic pot’s more aesthetically pleasing.
