Brother Leon's Chocolate Sale

Goober’s personality change furthers Jerry’s character development by making Jerry feel sad for Goober and by awakening Jerry’s mind to the evilness of the Vigils and how they destroy people. Jerry thinks that the Vigils and the chocolate sale is just a game, but Goober tells him “It’s more than fun and games, Jerry. Anything that can make you cry and send a teacher away—tip him over the borderline—that’s more than just fun and games” (Pg 160). Jerry feels sad for Goober when he sees just how much Goober is worried about him choosing not to sell the chocolates. “Jerry felt sad suddenly because Goober looked so troubled, like an old man heaped with all the sorrows of the world, his thin face drawn and haggard, his eyes haunted, as if he had awakened from a nightmare he couldn’t forget.” (Pg 129). Overall, Goober’s personality change furthers Jerry character development by helping to develop Jerry’s emotional and mental character. In other words, Goober gets Jerry to think and feel deeply about things happening to him in a way that he never has before.

These chocolate sales raise money for the school and give more authority to Leon. The Brother then bribes people to sell chocolates. He eventually brings disaster to the school.

Robert Cormier wanted the characters be different, he did not make them how others wanted, being socially acceptable, he wrote the book how he thought it should have went in his mind, and doing so he gave the readers some new to read not just the everyday novel. Cormier gives the reader many examples of figurative language to express the real meaning of the story for example, “Caroni watched the chalk in Brother Leon’s hands, the way the teacher pressed it, rolled it, his fingers like the legs of spiders with a victim in their clutch.” (90) In this quote Cormier gives a similar to exaggerate about how Brother Leon was holding the chalk in his hands. It sends a powerful message to the reader that Brother Leon is a horrible man, who had no mercy and he is seen by others as a powerful administrator in the school using quid-pro-quo in his own evil type of way. Cormier also uses more figurative language to give a specific emotion that Cormier was trying to express throughout his novel, that not every time someone disturbs the universe something good comes out of it. “What happened with Renault was bad enough, but there was violence in the air.”(209) This quote is the the example that even though Renault did disturb the universe and did try to stop the chocolate sale, he failed and something bad happened to him for trying. In the end Jerry's attempts to stop the chocolate sales failed, and still there was still violence in the air meaning the enemy he tried to defeat was angry, but still undefeated. And many readers dislike Cormiers way to end the book in a way that the hero does not defeat the villain(s). Like Richard Peck said ”The young will understand the outcome. They won’t like it but they’ll understand.” (10) And this is exactly what Cormier had in mind when he was writing the book, that the readers wouldn’t like the ending, but

Lois Tyson writes, “The protagonist believes that being well liked is the necessary and sufficient currency for purchasing success in the business world.” Society’s interest is in the man who makes a name for himself and his family through hard work and dedication, not being well-liked. Willy believes his only possible identity lies in his occupation and allows selling to become his identity instead of his occupation. He praises Dave Singleman’s career to Howard: “And when I saw that, I realized that selling was the greatest career a man could want” (1876). Willy’s belief that his brother Ben makes a fortune by the same dream of success he pursues and fails to achieve further damages his identity. Ben reveals, “Why boys when I was seventeen I walked into the jungle, and when I was twenty-one I walked out. And by God I was rich” (1860). Ben represents what Willy hopes to achieve in life. Tyson explains, “Willy’s failure to see the obvious unscrupulous underside of Ben’s financial success . . . is not the result of innocence or ignorance, but of selective perception.” Willy struggles to adjust to the changes of his job as a salesman. He is unable to establish a business relationship with the new generation of customers because he believes his old style and techniques of selling is successful. Willy fails to live up to his version of the American dream to achieve success and falls victim to society’s demands and expectations. He

Japanese chocolate industries have been dynamic in its modification of chocolate culture at both the local and international levels. On Valentine’s Day, a woman can buy more than 20 to 30 boxes just for her male office workers she interacts with on a regular basis. The reason that a woman is often pressured to buy so much chocolate is because of constructed social obligations by confectionary industries. Based on Japan’s culture of gift-exchange, local culture has divided up three different categories of chocolate gifts: giri choco (obligatory chocolate), honmei choco (chocolate for the man the woman is serious about), and tomo choco (chocolate for the woman’s female friends) (Hammond). In the way that giri chocolate has made it customary for women to gift male office workers, tomo chocolate is an even more recent phenomenon to exchange chocolates between female friends. The fact that the chocolate markets are offering distinct products clearly fulfilling one of the three chocolate gift categories help explain why more than half the annual chocolate sales happen within Valentine’s Day and White Day (Stanphill). Rather than a regular consumption throughout the year, chocolate industries
