Book Review - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    In this book, the main character is Charlie Bucket. One day, the manager of Wonka chocolate factory, Willy Wonka decides to open the factory up to the five lucky kids. The first one to find the golden ticket was Augustus Gloop, who loves to eat, especially chocolates. He was very fat and grumpy. The second lucky kid was greedy Veruca Salt, who believes that her daddy can do anything for her. The bigger problem is, her dad lets her to act like an annoying kid. The third kid to find a golden ticket was Violet Beauregarde. She is the girl who loves to chew gums. She's very greedy just like her "best friend", Veruca Salt. The fourth lucky guy was Mike Teavee, whose crazy in TV and video games. Lastly, Charlie Bucket found the gold ticket by an accident. Anyway, those five lucky kids get to go into the Wonka chocolate factory, that wasn't opened for a long time. The five kids have a lot of adventures in the chocolate factory, and the one who survives till the end was Charlie. Eventually, Charlie gets a special prize and the story ends.


    I think the lesson of this story is "Grasp all, lose all." Every kids who were greedy during the adventure in chocolate factory got punished all in the different way. Augustus Gloop wanted to drink all of the chocolate water fall in the factory, so that he had to be absorbed into the long pipe to get out of the chocolate water fall. Veruca Salt went into the trash can, because she wanted to have one of the squirrels. And, she was a bad nut, too. Violet Beauregarde turned into the blueberry pie, because she chewed the gum that is not completed yet. Mike Teavee was almost disappeared from the real world, because he went into the TV machine. Like these situations, many kids were greedy, and the only one who wasn't greedy, who is Charlie, got the last special prize.
