The Chocolate War - Courage in the Face of Adversity - Seventh Period
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”
--Ambrose Redmoon
In The Chocolate War, Jerry is given an assignment by the Vigils, the not-so-secret society at his school. Although he is given a choice to accept the assignment, he is not really able to refuse. Or is he? Can Jerry refuse to do the assignment given to him? In your experiences as a high school student, can students refuse to do things when told by a group? Is peer pressure so great that students feel that they have no other choice? Jerry is not selling chocolates because the Vigils told him not to. Is negative peer pressure such a big issue for students?
Your assignment is to respond to the above prompt. You must write a well developed paragraph consisting of at least 10 sentences. Please make sure that you use correct grammar, proper punctuation, and common sense in your response. Once you write your response, you must respond to at least two classmates. Make sure that you include your first name and last initial in your posting and that you tell which classmate you are responding to. If your posting is deemed to be inappropriate, it will be removed, and you will not receive credit.
