Chapters 1 & 2 of Chocolate War
The kid Jerry is trying out for the freshman football team, but is too small.
The kid Obie is trying to get in a club, and has to do things for a kid Archie; who he doesn't like.
He has to do different things wth different people called assignments, that are assigned to him by Archie.
One of his assignments envolves Jerry, and another envoles a big kid: The Goober.
So far, its interesting and I like it :]

"Peter Pan"
Chapter 1

Well Nana comes in and tucks in Wendy and Michael and then Mrs. Darling comes in and kisses them goodnight. Within an hour or so, Tinker Bell and Peter Pan come flying through the window and into their room. He is trying to be really quite so he doesn't wake the sleeping children. But Peter Pan is knocking everything in sight over. So Wendy hears it and forces herself to wake up. She is shocked by what she sees. Peter introduces himself and Wendy thinks she dreaming, so together they try to find Tinker Bell. But, she's too fast. So finally she flies right out the window and Peter has to follow her (not to lose her again) so he wants Wendy and Michael to come along to the land where boys never grow up. They need a mother there to help them with a lot of stuff, so they go.

"Peter Pan"

I really like it by the way, it's just like the classical story I was taught when I was younger. I really like this, interesting character traits that I would have never guessed.

Ch 20-22
Will and Chester are currently in the clear of being tortured by the Dark Lite. but now a family of the local inhabitants there claim that his real name is Seth. that he was taken by his mother and was brought to the surface. That was were he grew up. his freind, Chester, makes it a rutine to have panic attacks. his freind, whom he relies on to be a leader has been frusterated for days now. and to top it all off, Will's sister, Rebecca, is being chased by those same maniacs who took Will's father, in her own home.
These chapters are a page turner. i do believe that Will is actually Seth, all of the clues add up. will never gets tans, just burns, and he is always pale white. like those people in the colony. his eyes are burned out in the slightest sun, and he loves to go underground. this is a very good book

the choclate war
kasey harmon

archie was helping the brother unload the boxes of choclates. During the unloading the brother was talking to him about the chocolate sells every year. this year the students have to sell 20,000 chocolate boxes, for two dollars per box. he also asked archie if he could help with the selling because he was a born leader at persuading and talking. but archie new that he wanted the vigils help. the vigils was a group of kids that he was the leader of. later the vigils called a kid named goobie, goober, to do something for him. it was to go into one of the class rooms and loosen anything he could with a screw driver. he would do this the night when nobodey was in the school. when he did it it took 6 hours to losen half of the screws, but a couple masked kids, probibly the vigils, came to help him. the next day the kids tried out all of the decks and touched stuff and wached them as they came apart.

Chapters 3-11{or 12} of Chocolate War
So far, Archie has proven to be the leader of the Vigils.
He makes a kid Goober to loosed all the screws in room 19. When school starts the next day, everything falls apart. A new kid{to the story} Emile Janza is introduced siphing gas out of another kids car.
Jerry has a bad relationship with hes dad, and his mom is dead. After talking to a "hobo" on the streets, he doesn't want to end up on a schedule as a boring man. That's part of the reason he stays strong to football.
At a scrimage against Varsity football, Jerry throws a perfect pass to Goober and they store a touchdown.
So far, i like it. I dont like how each chapter is from a different person, but i like that it has multiple perspectives of the story.

The chocolate war
chap. 1-???6?
In this book a young boy named archie is part of a club of some sort that deals out "Missions" in the all boy private school of trinity. Even teachers are part of this secerate club. There is also another bot mentioned in the beggining named Jeffery all you find out about him so far is that he is a boy in that school trying to make it on the football. Without him knowing, Archie and his assistant Obie secretly assighn jeffery the task of "Chocolate". This might mean is is reqier3ed to sell chocolate for a school fund raiser. Also, there is a teacher named brother leon who is feared by the kikids for his random acts of... well you never really know. Like once he accuesed a very smart boy of cheating while everyone laghued. After, he said it was good he stood up for himself

the chocolate war.
morgan falasca.
chapters 1-8.

the book begins with a kid named jerry renault got beaten up badly at football tryouts. but the coach is impressed with jerry, therefore he asks him to come back to the next tryout. after tryouts, he threw up his guts in the boys locker room. in the next chapter, obie and archie are introduced.he describes obie as boring, discusting and tired. obie is sick and tired of archie. he also hates arguing with archie. archie is the leader of a gang group called "the vigils." archie thinks of ten poeple that he couple use for his next assignment. he picks jerry and obie says that they shouldn't use him because he mother just recently died, but they use him anyway. brother leon is another character that is introduced. he is filling in the place of the principal right now, and he's a cruel man. he's taking left over chocolates from mother's day last year and selling them for $2. thats insane! Also, the gobber is intrduced. he recieves an assignment from the vigils to unscrew everything chair, desk, and anything else unscrewable, in brother euguene's room. it took 9 hours to unscrew everything, but 30 seconds to fall apart.
So far i really enjoy this book. It shows many characters and many traits to go along with that. i like the tale of this book. it has an amazing story line and i can't wait to learn more.

the chocolate war
goober had done his assighnment. Obie had come to the school with other members to help him and complete the assighnment. The next day it took 36 seconds for room 19 to fall apart. Jerry, the main charactor, mother had recently died. his dad selled their house and now they live in an apartment.His dad does not talk to him much any more and this upset's him. also jerry has been doing better in football. he made a great pass and the coach called him a son of a bitch, which the rumer sais that the coach accepts you if he calls you that. After that practice he got a not from the vigils. Another thing is brother leon has been doing good with the chocolate sells. The only person who does not want to sell them is jerry. Brother leon asks him every day but he sais no.

Ch. 22-26??
Will is sent away to live with his origional family. it is a nice carrige ride, with his brother Cal, Will even feels comfortable enough the sleep. that is untill he has to get inspected by the Styx again. they have to do this in order to pass through to to Colony. the Colony is huge, even bigger than the town he was in before. miles and miles of underground cities, empires in the eyes of Will. as soon as he enters the family house, he feels, secure. his new family tells him that he is again, Seth, and now they have the proof for it. a old grandmother presents him with a family picture. it has Will, his mom, most importantly. they look alike in many ways. hair color, facual designs, everything. after a while of explinations, we learn that the Styx is part of a goverment down there. no one likes them at all. they are the one that make the rules, and force you to follow them. Mr. Burrows, Will's foster dad, has gone exploring into the most deadliest part of the underworld. no one did anything, they thought he wasn't a threat. turns out that the same fate is ment for Chester as well, exept that he is forced to go. the people there dont take kindly to strangers.

these chapters sparks a couriosity in me. i wonder what will happen to Chester after all, and Will's Father. i think that Will is going to go looking for him, but with some help. will Will's sister Rebecca remain in a social workers care forever? this book is Awesome.
