: Is It A Chocolate Sale

: Is It A Chocolate Sale...Or A Chocolate War..??
Chocolate "sale" or.....chocolate "war"? Although you describe this novel as
being mainly based on simply the chocolate sale, the correct answer is more like the
war of the chocolate sale. Already from the opening page of this exclusive book,
where quarterback Jerry Renault is clobbered by a relentless defense, The Chocolate
War is relentless in its portrayal of the vicious, sometimes violent world of high

means every single student is needed to sell 50 boxes each. Some of the students
were excited and motivated to sell their set of chocolates, while some only sold them
because they feared Brother Leon. Many of the students didn’t want to sell the
chocolates, but they were all afraid of what Brother Leon might do if they weren’t
involved in the fund-raiser. They all knew about the unexplained failures Leon gives
