Personal Narrative: The International Chocolate Robbers

During the time frame of 1450-1750, the Columbian Exchange was at its height of power and influence. Many products were introduced from foreign lands, like animals such as cattle, chickens, and horse, and agriculture such as potatoes, bananas, and avocados.

My essay is about the climax in the book The Chocolate War. In this essay will describe events that built the climax and what resolved it.

It was Friday, we were armed. There was about one hundred of us ready to fight, although not even half of us had even shot a gun before. Most of us had pistols but a few people including myself had fully automatic machine guns. We walked to the fence and stealthily made our way in to ‘The Main’, we were told that ‘The Black Box’ was on the east side of ‘The Main’. We finally reached there, and all we had to do it wait for the scheduled delivery truck to enter the building so we could sneak inside and rescue everyone. We got close to the truck but a bit to close and we were spotted, all we could do was

‘’Thank you thanks you I really appreciate it.’’ called the man halfway out the door.

The Chocolate War is a novel written by Robert Cormier and published in 2014. This book is a young adult novel that tells a story of high school freshman Jerry Renaults. He attends an all boys’ Catholic High School called Trinity and makes the football team after his mom passed away the summer before his freshman year. Jerry throughout the book ponders the question on the poster in his locker: Do I dare disturb the universe? Trinity holds an annual chocolate sale and Jerry refuses to participate in his school's annual candy. When Jerry doesn’t participate in the chocolate sale, he challenges a secret school society called The Vigils. The Vigils is an evil secret society that manipulates people to help protect the universe from harm. His refusal to sell chocolate turns into an all-out war where he has to survive against The Vigils.
