Title: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Author: Roald Dahl
1. The story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows the tale of a young boy living in a tiny, very humble home, with his loving parents and four grandparents. Charlie Bucket lives near the giant and mystical Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory, where Charlie's Grandpa Joe once worked, but also which no one has seen the inside of for many, many years. No one even knows for sure what Wonka looks like any more or who, in fact, is helping him to make all that candy. One day Wonka announces that he will be enclosing five golden tickets within the wrappers of his own Wonka Chocolate bars. The result is a mad dash around the world to locate these tickets. Charlie, who only gets a Wonka bar once a year on his birthday, knows his chances is limited, but he holds out hope and, low and behold, young Charlie finally does land the shiny, gold ticket. His Grandpa Joe accompanies Charlie on the magical journey through the factory that is the envy of just about every other child in the world. The other children include Augustus Gloop , Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee .
2) i. Mr Willy Wonka: He is old but filled with a boundless energy. He is physically small, but his persona is larger than life. He is also both charming and insensitive. His decision to open his factory to five lucky children is actually a calculated ploy to find the perfect child to take over his factory.
ii.Charlie is unassuming and respectful toward everyone in his life. He is undernourished but refuses to ever take an extra portion of food because it would deprive another member of his family.
3) The phrase is' A friend in need is a friend indeed'. I learnt that a real friend is one who stays by your side to help you even if you are in trouble.
