In Cormier’s letter to teacher, Ms. Salvador, concerning her ongoing defense of her classroom use of The Chocolate War, he both tells her that he appreciates her efforts to defend the book; that he resents being put in the position to defend at all; and, that he believes in the morality of the book and of students’ ability to grasp and appreciate that point.
