Title of Book - The Chocolate War
Pages in the book - 263 I am now on page 131 I read 53 pages this week.
I understand about 85% of what I read.
1. The teacher Leon asked to Arche that sell chocolate more than normal amount of chocolate. However, Arche doesn't want to achieve this assignment. Therefore, Arche ask to Jerry that refuse to sell chocolate within a 10 days period of time. Nobody can refuse to sell chocolate and Nobody can refuse 's assignment, too. Few days later, teacher Leon is embarrassed to Jerry who deny to sell chocolate continuously. Selling chocolate depend upon individual's opinion. Therefore, teacher Leon can't do anything to Jerry. However, teacher Leon want to do some punishment to Jerry whatever if Leon can. Therefore, Jerry and Jerry's classmates are afraid of Leon.
2. If I would recommend this book to my classmates, I could say that this book give you some realizing about social. I think that there are lots of Arche and Leon in the world. Jerry is a rare person. People were usually forgiven if they agree with a strong man. Even a strong man is unfair. Then, most of the people don't know that they can become Leon and Arche who is unfair person. During I read this book, I asked to myself that if I were Jerry, can I deny something to them?. This book show you guys about real social problems. Maybe this book is good for everyone.

by stuart eskenazi
# Summary
- This article is about school which burned on weekend. This school is in Sea-Tac. People who live in Sea-Tac are think about this school very proudly. Actually, this school is old building. Therefore, this school has lots of histories. Moreover, most of the students, teachers, and staffs have memories of the this school. This burned school make people sick and cry. 18 years ago, this housed the offices for the campaign to incorporate Sea-Tac and served as Sea-Tac's first City Hall. When this building's the period of prosperity, it had a classic interior. Therefore, the historical society had plans to salvage artifacts from this building. Also, this school has not glorious history. Before, some-one discovered a body hanging in the basement. Then, some-one recalls that the body of the Green River Killer victim was found on the grounds behind the school.
# My opinion
- I think that there is building which has old history in each town. However, this is difficult that building makes people sick and cry even it burned over. Therefore, I think that this school is really valuable building for people. Then, I really want to go here and want to know about histories about this school during read this article. Actually, if one building or house burned over, there were lots of disadvantages about money or something like that. Therefore, I feel sorry to this happening. I reminded about my school in Korea. If my school burned over, mayve I would feel sick same to this people. Because it means that all of my memories about school are disappear. Anyway, we have to be careful about a fire.

By Elizabeth Rhodes
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle Times staff reporter
#Summary
- Bill Pond who retired carpenter parks his green truck twice a week on Broadwas Avenue East a boarded-up Jack in the Box. He offers soup, sandwiches, juice, and chips to the homeless. He service to the homeless by himself. Not include in church or social service agency. He pays for it out of his own pocket, such as collecting and recycling aluminum cans to help offset some of the cost. WHY HE SERVICE TO THE HOMELESS BY HIMSELF ? He start this about 18 months ago when he rejected an overture from a street person. And he didn't want to give money to street person. So he had feed street person. The man gratefully accepted, gobbled down the burger, then another, and Pond's one-man feeding program began. Then, burgers were out as too expensive. Instead, Pond mulled over issues of quantity and cost and chose homemade soup. The important thing is his mind. He said " I'm just really happy inside doing this. It just makes me feel really good. It's my way of giving back. I've never been homeless, but I've been down so I know how these people feel."
# My opinion
- If I were him, I can't service to the homeless by myself. This is really tired, great sacrifice of time , and great deal of money. Then, I surprised to his saying. He said that this service makes him happy. This is reason about why are you service to the homeless. Moreover, his son already knows about his father's personality. Real giving guy and just generous with everything he has. Nowadays, we know just ourselves. we don't care of other people. Because we don't have time and sometimes we think that this is waste of time. So, I think that Bill Pond is really nice and respectable person. After read this article, I want to go this way which is on Broadway Ave East. Then, If i have enough time and money, I will be alike him.

1. I think that It tells story depend on person. When I read chapter 1 , it was about Jerry. And when I read chapter 2 , it was about Obie and Archie. Like this. It's background is Trinity School. Jerry who is freshman , Archie who is a leader of The Vigils , and Leon who is teacher. Depend on these three person, The story is develop.
2. Until now, I think "Archie" is the most interesting character. Because he is a leader of The Vigils which is not exist officially. Because of this position, teacher 'Leon' use 'Archie' for his purpose. Archie realized this , but he didn't complain to teacher anything. He show me that student's week attitude.
3. Leon asked to Archie that sell chocolate. This year, chocolate's amout are more twice than last year. Archie have to gather all of students in school. Especially, The Vigils's member. I think that the story will be about how to Arechie gather all of students.
