Clare’s Chocolate Cafes has always used good quality cocoa to make their chocolate products. This is, in itself, an amazing marketing product because customers know that while they may be paying a little bit more, the product is worth it.

proven true. I too experienced the effects of this statement. When I first moved to Northville during my early elementary years, I was quite lonely and shy. It was very difficult for me to adapt to a new school district and leave my old friends from Farmington behind. To try and fit in better, I decided to become an aggressive wall ball player since wallball was the favored recess activity at the time. I became very talented at the game, but one day, I threw the ball too hard and it hit someone in the eye, landing me in major trouble. In many ways, my experience was similar to those of the characters in both the novel Things Fall Apart and the movie Chocolat . In the novel Things Fall Apart , by Chinua Achebe, and the movie Chocolat , directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the methods characters use to respond to changes in their surroundings demonstrate that actions carry consequences.

When the Spanish viceroy comes for an unscheduled visit to the monastery, the cook goes into a frenzy. What will they feed this important ambassador to the king? Carlos, the orphan boy who works in the kitchen, tries to stay out of the way as lunch is hastily prepared, but his curiosity gets the best of him. His eagerness results in a moment of crisis, followed by what Brother Roberto can only assume is a miracle. This story, inspired by the Mexican folk tradition, explains the origins of mole, the popular national dish that combines chocolate with turkey, spices, and nuts."

“Hollywood usually ends up swallowing people and eating them alive”, are some of the beginning words in the National Geographic docu-series Drugs Inc... The documentary is rightly names “Hollywood high” because of its raw footage. This film is a chilling depiction of drugs and Hollywood. Its uncut material shows the reality of how drugs can affect people of every walk of life. A person doesn’t have to be rich or poor to become drug dependent. The film goes on to say how “fame hungry wannabes” and the “panhandling homeless” are two of the main populations to be affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade. Some of the other populations affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade are those who want to “stay up” and “be thin”. This film is not only about the populations affected by the thriving Hollywood drug trade but also the drug dealers and doctors who provide the drugs to that population.

“I've got to follow my own plan. Stay here. Get my own thing going.” Vianne was always on the move, creating chocolate and happiness. To continue pursuing her passion of creating chocolate and following the practices of her mother’s people, she had to move from location to location – calling neither home. “Mother and daughter were fated to wander from village to village, dispensing ancient cacao remedies, travelling with the wind.” With every shift in location, she had to leave behind the life she had built there, beginning with abandonment of her father who one morning, “awoke to discover that Chitza and the little girl Vianne had gone away.” At a young age, Mia chose to move to Los Angeles in hopes to fulfil her dreams of becoming a successful actress. However, it was later evident that the project she became successful in required her to go to Paris. Whether it be love, home or family, the authors show the different sacrifices that need to be made in order to fulfil a dream.

Set in 1950’s France, Chocolat is a film centred on the Catholic virtue of temperance, or rather the struggle to achieve temperance when the church is faced with the temptation of a 2000 year old chocolate recipe. Temperance is defined in the catholic encyclopaedia as “the righteous habit which makes a man govern his natural appetite for pleasures of the senses in accordance with the norm prescribed by reason”, and in Chocolat it is the Comte de Reynaud, the major and self appointed moral authority for the whole community, that attempts to keep check of the villager’s carnal passions and temptations.

“The Dark Side of Chocolate” is a documentary that explores the underlying issues prevalent in the cocoa trade. For most first world countries chocolate is seen as an accessible treat, however in third world countries, the production of cocoa creates social issues that must be eliminated. Cocoa trade is one of the largest industries in West African countries, but the issues that arise from such trade do more harm than good. The cocoa plantations are trafficking humans to work on their plantations. Furthermore, most instances suggest that these workers do not receive any compensation for their work and most importantly some of these slave laborers are children. Thus, the three issues that the cocoa companies routinely commit in exchange for lower costs are human trafficking, slave labor, and child labor. These companies are aware of such issues but refuse to actively combat them because they are better off financially. It can be argued that these issues can be mitigated through various social, governmental and political policies aimed at combating these problems. The three main issues will be addressed and the various stakeholders affected by these issues will be analyzed. Then this paper will look at the possible solutions to these issues, whereby through government, social or political means.

Chocolate became “a respected scholarly subject” only in recent decades suffering from “puritanical prohibitions” of discussing food or writing about it that were recognized standards of behavior in the Western world. The reviewed book The True History of Chocolate is a valuable addition to what the public knows or, rather, does not know about chocolate, with an interesting historical background that makes an entertaining and useful reading and extends one’s knowledge of things we use daily, sometimes without realizing their long history of evolution and multiple meanings.

The first extract is from a novel called “Chocolat” by Joanne Harris which was published in 1999, whereas the second extract is from a website of the “From Bean to Bar” chocolate company which was published in 2006. Both extracts concern themselves with chocolate and the way it is manufactured, although they both have different intentions. The first extract is from a novel and describes the delightful pleasure of creating chocolate, whereas the second extract is used to promote and advertise the chocolate and make it more appealing to the reader, and also focuses on the importing and the cocoa plant itself.

Thinking in this product makes me want to have some of it. The first impression people might have when they see this dessert is that it might be an expensive and luxurious product because of its embellished packaging. It can be identified by the cute design of the box due to the fact that on the left of the box there is a sumptuous ribbon that its background color is a combination between dark cinnamon and lightly caramel, furthermore, the ribbon has the brand´s name sketched all around it. The theme color of the whole box is pearly white what makes the letters of the brand, written on the top of the box, stand out in a bright gold. Moreover, bellow the ribbon there is a little description in French about the glamorous product and next to it a small window made of transparent plastic where the small pieces of the product are shown to the public. The most interesting thing comes after its purchase. I start feeling the anxiety when it is time to open this fancy box because as
