        <description><![CDATA[As with all of his machinations, Archie plans to exercise strict control over the fight.  After connivingly convincing both Jerry Renault and Emile Janza to participate in the event, he sells "raffle tickets" to the spectators in which they can request the type of blows they want each of the fighters to deliver to the other during the proceedings.  According to the rules which Archie has set up, each boy can only hit his opponent with the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We first are formally introduced to Goober, aka, Roland Goubert in Chapter Five when Archie is assigning him to take apart Brother Eugene's room. Goober has to do the assignment because he is a Freshman and he wants to be accepted into the ranks of the Vigils. The Goober is just like Jerry, except he wants to be a part of the group and seems to be less of an individual than Jerry. All of the Freshmen want to belong, not rock the boat, and be...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Goober was chosen for the assignment [by Archie] because he was weak prey.  Cormier uses that as a chance to show the reader how cruel Archie really is.  It shows that Archie gains pleasure by psychologically torturing an innocent student.
This assignment was not only implemented for the reason of torturing Goober.  It also affected the teacher who may have stood up against the corruption.  It was done to show Brother Leon and the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jerry is not very big for football; and he continues to get pounded at the football practice. However he keeps trying. He continues to play the game. In the novel it says Jerry is nauseous and short of breath but he wants the most important position on the team. The recruiter sees Jerry as independent and a "tough one".
Even though it is just football, it reveals a person's character. For example, how a person plays football shows their...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poster in Jerry's locker reads "Do I dare disturb the universe?".  So what does that mean?  The word "universe" could be taken in several different senses, but first consider what it could mean to Jerry, and what it might mean to the readers of The Chocolate War.
While Jerry doesn't consciously understand it, at first, he is "disturbing (his) universe" when he stops doing what is expected of him.  Specifically, he disturbs the universe...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jerry Renault is small, only five-nine and maybe a hundred and forty-five pounds, and he is not a very good football player, but he is determined to make the team at Trinity.  Although he is taking a beating on the field, he knows that the coach "is testing (him), and he's looking for guts".  Jerry does not want the coach to think he is a weakling or a coward, so he knows "it (is) important to show no sign of distress".
It is only three...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poster is, indeed, a neat bit of foreshadowing, and could be seen as a commentary on Jerry Renault's subconscious character.  It was an interesting choice of poster for a boy whose mother has recently died, and speaks to his willingness to question things around him, after the death of the central female influence on his life.
It is true that at first Jerry only chooses the poster because he thinks it looks cool.  But as he continues on...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The fight that that Jerry Renault has with the underground gang The Vigils is over the annual chocolate sale run by Trinity High School.  The evil temporary headmaster, Brother Leon, has made an exorbitantly high quota for each boy to sell (50 boxes).  The only way Brother Leon's avarice can be satisfied is by cooperation with The Vigils -- which means turning a blind eye to their bullying and coercive practices.  When Jerry refuses to sell...]]></description>
