Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Pages 87 -155

In the inventing room, Mr. Wonka showed them a chewing gum meal. Mr. Wonka hasn't got it right yet, but Violet 'a girl who chews gum all day long' ate it. All of her body became blue and she was blowing up like a balloon. One more kid went home. Then, they went to "the Nut Room". There are a lot of squirrels are especially trained for getting the nuts out of walnuts. Veruca Salt 'a girl who is spoiled by her parents' wanted to get one of those squirrels. She came inside, but the squirrels threw her into main garbage because they thought she is a bad nut. When Veruca Salt is gone, only two children left. Mr. Wonka took them into the most fantastic elevator they've ever seen. The last two children, Charlie Bucket and Mike Teavee can chose which room they want to go. Mike chose "The Television Chocolate Room". There is a machine that can send chocolate into small pieces and everybody can try if there is a Wonka's chocolate advertising on a television. Mike Teavee so excited and he tried come into the machine. He is sent by television and became very tiny. Now, only Charlie Bucket left. He is the winner and Mr. Wonka is going to give the whole factory as soon as he is old enough to run it. All of his family is going to live at that factory and help Mr. Wonka to run it. No more starving and they'll have a lot of food to eat.

Finally, I finished read this book.. This book is easy to understanding and it was really interesting when I read this book. There are so many magic rooms and interesting candies here. If Wonka's Chocolate Factory is real, I really want to go there and look around inside the factory, but it's just a fictive. I want to live there too...^_^ From this story, we can learn that if you are a honest and good people, there will be a good thing happen to you. I'm so glad I can finish my first novel and know more vocabulary from here.

Congratulations on finishing the novel! As your reward... well, sorry! I don't have a chocolate factory. But reading a book is its own reward, right?

Did you see the Johnny Depp movie of this book? It was good -- but the book, of course, is better. You may want to find the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. In that book, Charlie travels into space, and brings his family to help run the factory. I don't have the book, but you can look for it in a bokkstore, library, or on Amazon.com.
