Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Pages 34 - 87

One of Charlie's grandpa takes a gamble, he gave his only ten cent for Charlie to buy chocolate. Charlie bought a Wonka's candy and opened it, but nothing over there. After two weeks, while Charlie was walking back home, he found a dollar bill. He used the money to buy one Wonka's chocolate. After he finished it, he bought one more chocolate. Suddenly, from underneath the wrapper there came a brilliant flash of gold. He got the last Golden Ticket. Tomorrow, the four other children came with their parents and Charlie with grandpa Joe. Mr. Willy Wonka welcomed them to come in. The first room they went was a chocolate room. It was really a beautiful room with green valley and a brown river. There was a tremendous waterfall halfway along the river. They saw really small people who called Oompa-Loompas. They are Wonka's Factory workers. Augustus, the greedy fat boy came into the brown river and ate the chocolate. For suddenly, there was a shriek and then a splash, and in one second he had disappeared. He has stuck in the pipe. Only four children left now, they continued their way by the most fantastic pink boat. They passed away so many rooms until they arrived in the inventing room.


Really good story.. So many spoiled children over here and Mr. Wonka knows the best way to punish them without use his own hand. There are four children left, but who will be go away soon after Augustus?? From this book we can know how children can be spoiled by their parents, because they love their children too much. Actually, it's not good for children if you always give what they want. Their personality will be very bad. From this, we can learn if you become parents teach your children with love and education, so they won't become a spoiled child.

I think it's funny that Wonka doesn't punish any of the children; he simply allows them to get into trouble, and doesn't prevent them from suffering from the effects of their actions! Also, when I read this book, I really want to visit that factory -- or even live there!
