The Chocolate Wars

Do you know the difference between a book and a movie? I do in a book it has more story than the movie. For example in the book The Chocolate Wars the story is slightly more different than the movie. The book has more scenes and in the movie ether the scene was changed or they skip it from the book. For example in the book it says that the Vigils meet in a windowless room and in the movie they meet in a room with windows. Another difference is that on the book Brother Leon says to sell the chocolates for two dollars and in the movie Brother Leon tells them to sell the chocolates for four dollars. Another example is when on the book a guy comes up to jerry to tell him to stop starring and in the movie a girl comes up to him to tell him to stop starring. Another one is when they're talking to goober and the vigils laugh at a joke then the leader of the vigils gets mad clicks his fingers so everyone could shut up and on the movie he smacks a hammer

Those are some differences between the book and the movie Chocolate Wars. In the movie and the book jerry does not want to sell the chocolates. That's what starts a riot against the vigils so everyone stopped doing the assignment that Archie assigns. In the movie the order of events varies, yet mostly in ways that's not significant, like the beginning. After the scenes introducing jerry then Archie then Obie, comes the scene where jerry watches his dad sleep on the couch and remembers his mom who passed away, then has a talk with his father about his "fine" days at work. In the book this scene comes after a few chapters. Another difference is that Brother Leon's way of being in the classroom is presented before than his relationship with Archie as in the book.

There's also a difference in the characters for example when jerry picks up a playboy magazine, and somehow feels guilty for doing what normal boys do. Later in the movie after the goober does his job, Obie reveals that he was one of the masked boys who helped him, and in the book he never reveals himself. There are other changes for example when Brother Leon confronts Archie for a second time, warning him about the decrease of chocolate sales and The Vigils, was really one on one, not on the phone like the movie. Jerry's only talk with the hippie girl from the bus station in the movie is a simple name exchange.

Most of the changes are made for editing or time length purpose of the movie. The greatest change from the movie to the book is the boxing match event and everything that follows. The book never really explains how jerry finds out about the match, yet in the movie Archie actually calls him to make the offer, and jerry accepts.
