The chocolate wars
Bryan Alcox
80-91 i think
in this book archie, took a picture of emile janza while he was, well... going to the bathroom... sortof. He was going to use the picture as a weapon he said. Also jerry renault has been refusing to take place in the anual chocolate sale. This made brother leon angry, even though the sale was voluntary. It made him angry because he took some of the schools money and used for himself, and he had to pay it back before the real principle got out of the hospital. Caroni, a student had been blackmailed to tell leon that it was one of the famous vigil assighnments to refuse the chocolate for 10 days. After thetenth day, jerry still refused to take the chocolates.
This book is... alright for an assighned book. Not the worst, but stlii not my favorite.

Chocolate Wars; chs 12-20
Nicole

So Jerry refuses to sell the chocolates.
The kids like Tubs, John, Brian and Paul were having trouble selling the chocolates. Arichie allegedly has a picture of Emile doing "private things"... Jerry still won't take the chocolates.
At first it was a Vigils assignement, but the assingment ended, and he still won't take the chocolates. Another Vigil assignment is that a group of boys have to dance when their teacher says the word enviorment untill the teacher figures it out.
So far, i like the book. I like how its sort of about a revolution {again} and I like how the Vigils are like more in charge at the school than anyone.

21-28 of the Chocolate War

The chocolate sales are way behind. Only like 6 people have sold 50 chocolates, and some have only sold about 6.
Brother Leon tells Archie itsall his fault, because of Jerry.
So the Vigils try to scare Jerry into selling the chocolates, but it doesn't work. then, he calls the girl from the bus stop, and that doesn't work out to well.
Also, a poster that says "screw the chocolate sale and the vigils" is put up, but obie takes it down very quickly. Because of this, Archie is put on probation. Now, Archie is getting prank calls, where it's all silent, every night.Also, his poster in his locker that says "Do I Dare Disturb The Universe" is basically tagged. Also, his new shoes are slashed. Thirdly, his art projest has gone missing.
Its getting better. It has a lot of tension coming because Jerry has stuff missing, Brother Leon could be in HUGE trouble, Goober quit sports, and Archie is on probation.
I like the book.

the chocolate war
ch:29-32

Brian is slow to see that the sale is cause the The Vigils. he does not want to believe it and would rather believe that everyone is more for the sale. He finally realizes it but he doesnt really care. as long as he can report good news and as long as Brother Leon is happy with the totals Brian is happy. He plays "dumb" when Carter goes to him and gives boxes of chocolates to boys he knows did not sell them. He shows the ways in least resistance is the easiest and way and having some doubt to both Brother Leon and The Vigils take over of the sale he goes along with it because in so doing he takes away any personal risk. Brian is a foil for Jerry who always fights least resistance and does that which causes risk to himself both emotionally and physically.
The Vigils plan is working perfectly. The general student support for Jerry had been getting better and some kids also not selling the chocolates. of The Vigils for a few days Jerry had become a kind of hero. The Vigils had to do something not only to sell the chocolates but also to turn the popularity against Jerry. Cormier does not describe how The Vigils did their plan and how they sold all the chocolates and made the sale popular but by this chapter it is clear that whatever they have done is working. maybe Cormier is different about the details because like the mafia The Vigils work quietly and do not give away their secrets.
Harold Darcy an normal anonymous student questions Jerry showing that popular feelings has came from support of Jerry. Jerry's response in class is bad as Brother Leon tells him and the baddnes of the other students tells him. Jerry is even on his own now as the other students feel that Jerrys refusal to sell the chocolates is an example of his belief that he is better than them.The Vigils attack in Chapter 31. Emile Janza is their "main man" against Jerry because Archie has used the picture to make sure Janza is in the fight. Janza first makes Jerry upset by calling him a queer. Cormier goes into the fact that as a high school boy being called a queer can be worse than being called anything else and that it can take away confidence. Janza makes fun of Jerry with the idea and Jerry responds how Janza wants. Then, when Jerry is upset a group of boys go on him making him physically upset. The Vigils attack from all sides and making Jerry's life hellish. Jerry cannot fight back. Despite having been attacked all over Jerry does not weaken. He also makes the decision to fight alone and does not tell his father what is going on so far this book is addicting and i enjoy reading it.

Bryan Alcox
The chocolate war

In the book, the salesd are way behind and and many people haven't reached 50 boxes.Jerry still refuses the chocolates and the vigils atart scaring him into buying the chocolate. It doesn't work. The vigils tag jerrys poster that said, "do i dare disturb the world?" They also slash his sneakers that wwere new. Eventually, archie decides to help everyone. He gets the vigils to get permits to sell the chocolates, and they sell alot of chocolates. They distribute the sold chocolates between everyone, if if they didn't sell any, just so they would reach the quota. Jerry still refuses the chocolates. Also, one guty thst was going to get an assighnment, i can't remember his name, but he treated archie like he wasn't a big deal, and told him to cut the crap. Carter beat him up. The vigils were worried about people refusing things like that. They though it wasa because of jerry, and thats why they vandalised his stuff. Also, emile janza and some other kids beat him up really bad after they called him gay.

this book is good because it's getting sort of intense. evrybodys about the chocolates,and im wondering what theyre going to do to jerry next.

the chocolate war
Jerry is still not selling the chocolates. People are starting to tell him good job and keep it up. others the like goober tell him to start selling the choclates. Goober was going to stop doing any activities with trinity, but wants jerry to start selling the chocolates. Jerry said he would not sell them if he quits.
Goober almost told jerry that itt was his fault for the distruction of room 19 but didn't.
Later a boy was counting the counts for the kids who sold the chocolates. only 5 or 6 kids got to there requirement. others got as low as 6. brother leon knew it was jerry's fault that the kids are not selling the chocolates. So he went to archie to try to get jerry to sell the chocolates. Archie tried to tell him that the assinment was over but brother leon did not understand.

this is a good book so far and i am hoping to see if jerry ever sells the chocolates.

Chocolate Wars
29-the End
Nicole
The choclate sales "stageringly" increase, and are doing EXTREMELY well. its all thanks to the Vigils to. they would go out and sell a lot of chocolates, then say random people sold them. All of the boxes besides jerry's 50 are sold. The vigils make Janza pick a fight with jerry to get him to sell the chocolates. he calls jerry queer and he and about 15 other kids beat jerry up.
the next day, archie sets up a fight/raffle. jerry can get back at janza, and the 50 boxes can be sold. Except, jerry gets crused,archie gets in trouble by bro. jauques but gets off the hook by bro. leon. Jerry gets really hurt, buts gonna be okay, and all the chocolate is sold. Obie still hates archie and wants archie to finally get in trouble. THE END :]

I liked it. it was full of tension at the end. But overall, i think it was a good book.

Kasey Harmon
Soon the chocolate sells became popular. all the kids seem to want to sell the chocolates as soon as possible. even if you didn't sell the chocolates carter somehow would give you credit, goober noticed this when he stopped selling the chocolates. soon saposivly every one except Jerry has sold there requirement of chocolates. Archie decided to have a raffle. the raffle would be who every buys a ticket, that person get to control one action from each ticket. the actions are for the people who would be boxing. Jerry and Janza ended up fighting and Janza hurt him so bad when brother jaques stopped it, and when goober was the only one to go up to him and help him, Jerry had to be hospitalized. The awful thing was that Obie saw brother Leon watch. He did nothing the entire time. In the end Archie told Obie that he tipped brother Leon off.

Will and Cal are alone in the Jerome house. after the Grandmother leaves with uncle Tam, CAl wants to show Will where he will be sleeping at. but Will's attension is elsewhere. his yern for discovery lurs him into a alien room. it is a mix of a Victorian surgin's room, a kitchen, and a mad scientist's lair. laid out on the counter, there are several surgical knives, next to that, on a shelf, there's several pickled specimens, with formaldihyde solutions. there are several dried meats over what appears to be a stove. this is when Will leaens that there is something else down here than him and Cal. he suddenly hears a mechine gun like sound, then the steps of large feet, with machette like claws. he turns around to find that there is a huge monster standing behind him. it's huge teeth beared, drool over his bald chin, his pink body looming closer, and little 2 foot Cal walks over and kicks it in the gut and says. "get out of here Bartbely, you stinky cat."
Will, dumfounded, doesn't press for answers and is happily led by Cal out of the kitchen and into the Den.

these pages aren't alot, but they provide insight into the foundation of the homes, and what the colony's culture is like. im still trying to figure out how a house cat can be like that. most houses probally have one of those creatures in it. these people aren't big eaters, but they get enough food to live happily down there.

kristen: a clique novel.
morgan falasca.
pages 1-45.

so far, a girl named kristen gregory is part of the pretty committee. everyone in the committee has gone away for the summer, but she's stuck here, tutoring for clothes money. she tutoring a nine-year old brat that calls her ms. gregory a lot and she hates it. after her dad gets back, she's quitting. but minutes before the brats dad walks in, the brats older brother, dune walks in, she is speechless. he was such a "ten!!!" she decided she can stay a little longer, she guesses. when the dad walks in, he's not mad at the son for getting kicked out of camp, but instead of worrying about that, they go surfing in the most disgusting water kristen has ever seen, but she doesn't care, its for a major hottie. the little nine-year-old brat wasn't going into that water, for two reasons, one, she just got a makeover ! and two, massie wouldn't even think of going into that nasty water. the dad and dune throw her in anyway, that was my favorite part. a little later, kristen and dune and the nine-year old brat drove to the skate park called the GAS. which was right near the country club, so they got a lot of golf balls in the skate park. mean while, kristen meets some of dune's friends and she likes him even more now. but what ruins the whole thing is when skye comes over and flirts with the guys and asks them if they want to come to the club for a pool party later that day, but completely ignoring kristen. now, kristen is worried she is going to lose dune to skye.

so far, this book is very interesting. i love lisi harrison's books because their very girly like me, and they relate to my life also. (most of the time). my favorite part of this book so far would be the beginning, where she's talking to the brat about massie tips and giving her completely wrong tips. it was very funny and i also love the part where kristen sees dune and becomes speechless. i really like these books and i'm looking forward in reading more of her books.

The Juvie Three
Chap 1-6
Bryan alcox

In this book, gecko fosse was convinced to be a getaway driver for his brother. Everything was going alright until he swerved to avoid an old lady and crashed. He got sent to juvie for 2 months, where he got beat up. He was there until a man named... something... came and offered him a chance to stay at a place called the halfway house. It was like being free except you had to do community service, attend therapy, and go to school. He took the offer. A guy named Arjay moran was sent to juvie for 3 years for apparent attempted murder, even though he said it was an accident. He was huge and dark skinned, but surprisinglyy peaceful. The last kid to be offered the program was terence something. He was a sarcastic kid. You don’t know why he was in juvie yet though. They all got to the halfway house, and immeadetly gecko and terence started fighting. They all went to school, and gecko was intimidated by everyone, even though everyone was intimidated by him. No one meesed with him, event though he was not a threat. Terence also took a 25 minute bathroom break every period.
I like this book because it actually takes place in the current time. Also, its not afraid to curese. This book actually reminds me of the chocolate war, except better. Oh yeah by the way… the half way house was in new york, and all the kids lived in new england.

kristen tries to improve dune, so she trusts her 9-year-old student to picking out her clothes. she firsts want this ah-dorable dress from roxy but ripple (student) says no, he likes this worn out sweatshirt and baggy shorts. later on, she comes to find out that ripple only set her up because she likes skye better than kristen for her brother. kristen sees skye with the same dress kristen wanted, on at the pool. kristen gets really mad at ripple and ripple fires her. she hires skye as her "massie interpreter" for the summer. for school, kristen formed the "witty committee" which is a webcam for 4 people in a group, talking about people they admire. she picked cleopatra for hers, and there were 3 others. so, as the story progresses, she tries to get be the hero and come out with a plan to get revenge on the country club. so what they want to do is sneak into the club and get revenge, but skye "just so happened" to be there and saved their butts, so now all the boys and of course ripple admire her more..! so kristen gets really pissed. the guards found kristen cause she wanted to try to save her reputation and be the hero (again) and be the last one out, and she got caught by the guards and sent downtown. her mother was so mad and she punished her forever! but... dune came in (as her prince) and saved her butt, saying that ripple was the one who should have gotten caught, because she snuck out and went to the club without permission. therefore, her mother lets her go easy and she doesn't get punished. later on in the story, the witty committee and herself need a plan to get revenge on skye for taking the boy she likes (no she didn't). they came up with the plan of emptying the pool and filling it with water (remember these people are really smart) and they had to find a way to get this jell-o to harden in this 80 degrees temperature. but some how, they did! skye was meeting dune at the club again (at mid-night) and so it was really dark, they couldn't see the redness of the jell-o. so skye jumps in, in her bikini while dune watches her. she screams and he laughs, she gets pissed and leaves, and the witty committee laughs and dune hears them, so they get kristen to go out there to tell him that she likes him and she hopes he likes her back. he does. so before he leaves for his trip, he ties his lucky necklace around her neck and told her he'll wait for him.
i really like this book. it's very girly and romantic, all of my favorite things in a book! my favorite part was the part when skye jumps in the jell-o. he sounds really cute and i would LOVE to meet him[:

Will and Cal head up to thier room. Will finds that it resembles his own room, same size, same furniture placement. therre are two beds and a wardrobe, a nightstand, and, what appears to be, a fish tank. with the sound of a gong, Cal rushes down stairs for some dinner, and then followed by Will. this is where Will meets Mr. Jerome. he is a large man, that is about it. the rest of his features are the same as every other man down in the Colony. he clears his throat for a very weird prayer, but it is still clear that the people here believe the same as Will does, Roman Catholic, but with a different version, like it was the Church of England. but Mr. Jerome summons a slave, a pathedic looking man. he carried several spiced soups, and a side dish of vitamin rich, no sugars added, GRUBS, and still alive too. Will doesn't even touch his food. Mr. Jerome is showing a fierce amount of hostility to Will. the servant takes away the soup and begins to surve the main course, mush. Will aslo learns that there really isn't much love in this family. with finishing his diner, Mr jerome storms out of the house. then seven bells ring, and the Colony begins to sturr, everyone heading to one place, even Will and Cal.
i liked these 10 pages. it showed that Will is desprate to leave, but yet newly formed emotions to Cal and Tam and every other plesent being tie him down. i am very interested to learn more about the foundation of the Colony, and Chester's fate.

After harry and dumbledore left the house he took harry to meet and old retired profesor slughorn. Dumbledore wanted harry to convince him to come back. Harry did. Dumbledore told him he liked to pick famous people as favorites. When they arrived to the burrow dumbledore told harry that he would give him private lessons. Later Harry, hermionie, and the weaslyes went to diogon ally to get there suplies. While there harry hermionie, and ron ran into malfoy. Later while in fred and georges new joke shop, harry saw malfoy running to knockturn ally. so the threesum went under harry's invisablity cloak and followed him a shop. Inside he scared the owener by showing him something. Harry thought that malfoy is now a death eater and was determand to be correct. At the beginning of the school year. harry found out he was now the quidich team captin. Also, he wasn't planning to go into potions class but professor mogonagle persuaded him. When he was lent a book it was covered in notes. Also it had better ways of doing the potions and finding cures. It was the halfblood princes's book. He had ended up using the book all year. He had earned the felix felexes, a lucky potin from using the book. Ginny, ron, dean thomas, katie bell, and three other charactors were on harry's quidich team. Lavender brown now became interested in ron and they went out. Ron and hermionie stopped talking to each other too. Harry started getting feelings for ginny, and after awhile she broke up with dean and went out with harry. during harry's privet lessions dumbledore would show harry memories of voldermorts past.
the first was when voldamorts mother lived with her family the gaunts, and tried to kill the man she loved, a muggle, tom riddle.
the second was of a yunger dumbledore coming to an orphanage to tell tom riddle jr. that he is a wizard. The third was voldermort at school, with his friends, now death eaters. The fourth was of a memory of him asking professor slughorn about horhexes. wich harry had to find out the awnser by using the lucky potin. it is when your heart breacks and you can only die if all the peices are destroyed. Voldermort now has this. Another is of him killing is father,uncle, and grandparents. The last is of him killing a fat ladie for some of his airlooms.
