The War between the classes
Chapter IV



Chapter IV gives the reader an impression of

a) how the students feel during the first time of the color game

b) how the different groups get along with each other


The Chapter starts with Amy thinking back two summers ago when she was sent to a Japanese summer camp by her parents in order to learn something more about her tradition and culture.(calligraphy, origami, tea ceremony).
There, in the summer camp, she became in her own words a "Chameleon" learning very well what boys like and what a woman really makes attractive.


She is proud of having learned to adapt to whomever she dated and she believes that she is really good at adapting now.
In the library Amy thinks about Adam and she really feels pity for him being an Orange.She finds it strange that Adam now has to bow to her but on the other hand she likes her new role somehow.
Adam is late for the cafeteria for the first time, a fact that astonishes Amy. In the cafeteria Justin, a light green, pokes fun at Adam. Justin makes the mickey out of Adam by telling jokes like "How many oranges does it take to screw in a light bulb?" (P. 36, l. 6-8). So in a way Adam is compared with the stupidness of blondes and Amy, of course, doesn´t like that.
