Candy Stocks

On Thursday as we walked into the classroom, there was a lot of noises going on, and the room was warmer than usual. We walked to the middle of the room and saw candy and fake money laying on the ground, and we all began to gather as much as we could get. I grabbed more money than I did candy, because I could grip the money better than the candy and I knew I would be able to get more. Then we were told that the market was going to open within the next couple of minutes. The amounts for each piece of candy was than written on the board and we tried to figure out what candy we wanted to keep and what candy we would want to invest in and buy. The amounts of each candy would either go up or down. Some people got what they thought was money, but they then realized that there was clues about what was going to happen with the stocks of the candy and they could use that as an advantage for themselves. If people made the right investment they would have bought twizzlers, jolly ranchers, the little suckers,  because they were the ones who went up the most.
In the room, it was very hot and the lights were off. There was projectors going of people yelling and watching the stocks and how they were going up and down. There was also a light shinning on the board where the stocks were written. Everyone was walking around the room trying to make deals, and buy the candy that they thought would benefit them. Sometimes its okay to buy the items that are very low in price because they could end up being higher in the end.
