Chocolate War & Dead Poet Society Comparison

Blue 1 In this paper I will be comparing many items from the Chocolate War and The Dead Poets Society. As in most situations, there are movies that have many things in common with a book. I really liked the movie and how it was like the book in a way. In the book Chocolate War Jerry Renault is the main character. He is a very quiet but strong willed kid. When he sets his mind to something he follows through and finishes whatever the task may be. He has had a very emotional year with his mom passing away and his dad pretty much abandoning him. His dad was there but they hardly ever talked. Jerry didn’t have anyone to talk to or help him deal with the hurt and pain of losing his mom. Jerry went out for the football team try-outs and was pummeled and thought he was going to die. He got up and kept trying and he made the team through all his perseverance. There is this group of boys called the Vigils at Trinity High School. They are a group of boys who keep the school under control and all the boys from going crazy from all the strict rules that they must follow. There is one person named Archie Castella who gives random boys assignments to do. One boy, who everyone calls Goober, gets assigned to take everything apart in a teacher’s room. The next day the class and teacher came in and the teacher went crazy and never came back to the school. Jerry got assigned to not sell the chocolates for ten days. At first you think what is the big deal about chocolates? Well it is a fundraiser for the school each student is to sell fifty boxes of chocolates. Jerry was told not to take the chocolate. All the Brothers were very surprised that he wasn’t selling the first ten days and then he just wasn’t selling at all. Once again when he sets his mind to something he follows through and does what he wants to do. In the movie The Dead Poets Society Neil Perry is a puppet for his father. What his dad says goes
