BOOK REVIEW ON THE BOOK - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Novel by Roald Dahl
ReplyDeleteThis novel is about a young boy named Charlie who lives a poor life. He learns that there is a contest that requires a person to buy a Willy Wonka chocolate bar to find a Golden Ticket (there are only five of these worldwide). Charlie finds one of the tickets in his chocolate bar and is then invited, along with four other people, to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory alongside winning a lifetime supply of his chocolate bars. Wonka also announces that there will be one winner who will win a special prize at the end of the tour of the chocolate factory.
Each character’s flaws lead them to give into temptation and they are then taken away by the Oompa Loompas, except for Charlie, whose willpower is stronger than any of the other characters. The Oompa Loompas sing songs after each character is taken away in comical, mysterious, and sometimes even painful ways! Augustus Gloop is lured into the chocolate lake but gets stuck accidentally, while Violet Beauregarde (an avid gum-chewer) turns into a giant blueberry after giving into the temptation of trying a stick of gum from Wonka. Veruca Salt then gets attacked by squirrels and thrown into a garbage chute.
Finally, Mike Teavee gets shrunken by the TVs. Only Charlie remains at the end and therefore Wonka dubs him the winner of the challenge and names him the factory’s successor. He then invites Charlie’s family to come and live with him in the factory after all the other four children are sent home.
My favourite part of this amazing book is when Violet Beauregarde turns into a giant blueberry after trying the stick of gum because it is not what you would expect to happen! This took me completely by surprise and really had me laughing hard while reading the book.
I absolutely love this book because it teaches us not to be so materialistic and get caught up in our own lives. It allows for imagination and creativity to flow through in the form of its wacky and fun adventures. It is also beautifully written and shares many morals you can learn.
I am writing a story.
ReplyDeleteThe Worst World
Born in an intact underground compound, Rose and Lisa did not know ANYTHING
about the world above the turf. They grew up in the underground compound. Both of
them were bought up by a single parent. They had no idea about this, but above the
ground, it was the new ice age. The Earth was divided into three climate zones when
the ocean currents had shut down almost a century ago. The Northern Hemisphere
was a new ice age. Temperatures had been -75 for almost 50 years. The Southern
Hemisphere had turned into a drought and fire filled wasteland. Tornadoes, super
cells and every other manner of erratic weather covered this terrain. Once they were
old enough, they decided to go up to the superficial and know the Earth.
On a fine day, which seemed to look like night in the underground compound, they
both decided to use the shaft which was built for mining purposes. As children, they
had gone to various places trying to discover ways to get to the surface. Without
informing their mother, they used the shaft and came up above to the surface of the
Earth. They were aghast. They had never in their life, seen what was above the
ground, and now when they were seeing it, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
Both of them had always tried to envisage what the upper world may look like. They
had envisioned sunshine, perennials, delightful animals, butterflies, rainbows, clouds
and torrents. But now, when they were seeing it for the first time, it was unbelievable.
It was NOTHING like what they had imagined. They could see massive blankets of
snow on the ground ahead of them, little creatures shivering from the chill, flowers
succumbing, trees barely bearing fruit and snow clouds high up in the sky. They were
not prepared to look at such chilled climate above them.
Nevertheless, they decided to go farther, continue their jaunt into the world. Who
knew, what else would they have to see?
A few days later, when they walked a lot, they managed to reach somewhere into the
Southern Hemisphere, which they had thought to be much better than the Northern
Hemisphere. But, they soon discovered that they were completely wrong about that,
too. They had to be even more circumspect when walking here, because all sorts of
precarious things could be seen around them.
They saw murky, grey clouds in the gloomy sky (almost similar to the underground
compound, where they didn’t really get much of light), acid filled air, dwindling
flowers, cleavages in the ground ahead of them, trees bursting into conflagration,
lifeless animals lying all around, making the atmosphere look dangerous, and
heightened.
Rose and Lisa were inordinately discontented with what they were witnessing. They
couldn’t stand to see more of this climate taking over the Earth. But, what could they
even do? Seeing that they could do nothing, they went back to the underground
compound, where they had been all their life.
