The chocolate war by Robert Cormier is talking about a boy name jerry Renault who goes to a same sex school, and that school has a gang that named the vigils and that lead by Archie Costello, Archie gives homework assignments to boys in the school and Jerrys homework assignment was to sell a number of chocolate box’s , the gang decided to stop Jerry’s assignment, but he refused and they decided to make his life terrible , they did many terrible stuff to him, like calling his house and getting rid of his homework and even beating him up…
In chapter 7 it shows that Emile Janza is the school thug., Janza a proud trouble maker, sits in the front of classrooms instead of the back, always messing with people asking for trouble, largely because he knows most people to avoid it.
I connect this to my topic(comparing same sex school to mix school) on how boys act in same sex school and mix school as thugs.
From my own experience I saw that in same sex all what boys care about is who’s the tougher than the other since there is no girls in the same class to pay more attention to them more than being tough on my friends and being able to beat everyone or hanging out with the toughest guys.
But in mix school boys care about being around the cutest girls or having the cutest girlfriend in the school more than being tough on kids from my school(thinking of the other sex ”girls” makes the boys not think of being tough or beating up other students) . There is probably some guys like that in mix school but not as much as same sex school.
