The Chocolate War ch7-9

This week, I read ch7 through chapter 9. Chapter 7 and 8 is not important because these chapters only describe new characters, one whose name is Emile who is also selfish like Archie. However, he obeys Archie, even though everyone is afraid of Emile. Another character called Leon who is the vice principle. Chapter 9 is very important. This chapter talks about what the important thing for Jerry, What he wants to do. He does realize this because he was talking with his father at home.

Aha! Now I understand what the Chapter 3’s mean. In this blog, I wrote that I do not understand the point of ch 3. However, I could make a connection between these two chapters. In chapter three, Jerry doesn’t care what the important things for him and what he wants to do. But now, He began to think that there should be something that is important to him and he should do something meaningful. In chapter 9, it does not tell me these answers. So I can guess!! My guess is that he will try to be against Archie because I think that Jerry wants to do something meaningful so that by opposing to the Archie, he is able to be satisfied.

Sorry for late comment, i just came back home.
It's great that finally, you could connect those two chapters which you didn't understand. You are saying that Jerry started to think about what he wants to do which is good because i think everyone wants to know what they want to do, but they just not know about it yet. People must find their things that when they do it, then they love it. while you were reading, did u use any reading strategies?
