Roland Dahl (1916~1990) wrote the original story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was adapted into a play by Richard George in 1976.
George's playscript is interesting and fun to read aloud. All the students enrolled in this class would have a voice presentation of the whole play first in the classroom and then in the multi-media studio at NTUT.
However, there are questions awaiting to be explored.
For one, as Mr. Wonka's guests, Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike were punished due to their indescent manners or improper attitude, and Charlie was the only one left to become the winner who eventually would inherite the chocolate factory.
Discussion Questions:
(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
Don't you think that it is their character that has led them toward misfortune? In many cases, Mr. Wonka said "NO!" but the children just did not want to listen.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I don't think Mr. Wonka really intended to punish them in the first place. I might be wrong. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don’t think Mr. Wonka punishing the children. He is trying to educate these mischievous kids. Though each punishment is weird and unpleasant, it is not harmful to these guests. After receiving a tailor-made punishment, everyone had an extreme change on their behavior and mind.
(2)
Concerning the punishments for six children, I have to admit Willy Wonka is brilliant, creative and innovative. These children deserve the unique education on modifying their misconducts. I think these punishments are effective and useful especially in the case of Veruca. The little girl is such an indolent and self-ego person that people around her can hardly put up with her arrogance except her over-spoiled parents. It is a kind of blast to see her being dumped into leftover and trash.
(3)
I think Charlie is a considerate boy. The first time he got the chocolate, he shared it with the whole family. The second time he got a chocolate bar with a golden ticket, he sacrificed the change to go into the factory and even tried to resell the ticket for life subsidy. If it were not for the effort of his parent encouraging Charlie to take the chance, he would never win the first prize. I am so touched and love this little boy from the button of my heart. No one can resist the charm of Charlie. If I were Willy Wonka, I would definitely give my factory to this adorable boy.

(1) Mr. Wonka is representative of four improperly behaved children’s daddies and mommies. Mr. Wonka substitutes for all adults who are misbehaved themselves to teach and correct their children. The naughty and arrogant children are pampered by their own parents or other family members. Each child very much resembles their parents in either behavioral or thinking way. Augustus is greedy and has an insatiable appetite like his mom. Veruca is much pampered by his dad, who gives her everything she wants. Violet is aggressive and self-conceited because her mom requires that her own child is more competitive and will never be second. Mike is obsessed with violent games because his dad is too weak to stop him from developing violent behaviors and abusive language.
ReplyDelete(2) I think the punishments are suitable and well-fitted to the children. The punishments are done perfectly ironically and informatively.
Augustus is sucked in a pipe as a result of falling down the chocolate river when drinking it greedily. Veruca insists she should take the squirrel home in spite of the fact that she already has had many unique and cute things she asks her father for; therefore, she is scratched by all squirrels and flushed down a huge dump pit just like her animals which are abandoned arbitrarily and Veruca is gotten even with for her misbehavior. Violet competes for the first, which her mom readily approves of, when chewing the first well-rounded chewing gum; thus, she becomes round (symbolizing self-aggrandizing) and violet (ironically echoing to her name). Because of the nonintervention strategy Mike’s father applies, Mike is addicted to violent games. Mike rushes to the latest game without knowing the instructions and then here comes the punishment – he is stretched long!
(3) Charlie is born into a decent and warm family. He is characteristic of enduranceand honesty. He asks before he touches anything in the factory. He enjoys visiting the factory from the bottom of his heart because he is a child typical of lively imagination. Therefore, Charlie is the winner definitely.

(1) No, I don’t think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other’s children. He is telling every parent that it is a wrong way to spoil your children if you guys really love your kids. Spoiled children can do nothing but ruin themselves; therefore, Mr. Wonka teaches those parents a lesson by guiding them throughout his chocolate factory.
ReplyDelete(2) Absolutely, they deserve the punishment which they have received because of their arrogance and imprudence. Augustus, a man of greed, falls into the chocolate river and I think that it refers to the fatal mistake which those greedy men will make in the future because of their greedy mind. As an arrogant girl, Veruca asks for anything she wants unreasonably. Mr. Wonka wants her to know that there might be something against to her will. Violet, a self-centered girl, becomes a big round blue berry after chewing the gum. The reason why she has received this kind of punishment is that she is too proud to listen to others’ caution; therefore, a big round blue berry refers to her pride. Mike’s punishment is something related to the television. I think that it tells us not to let children watch too much TV lest they become as weird as Mike Teavee.
(3) Charlie is a polite and considerate child. He will ask for the permission before he does something. And he will take his family into consideration before he makes any decision. Although his life is not abundant, yet he has an amiable family and I think it is two main reasons why he can win a dream factory.
1. Although he punished those children, he also help their parents educate them and change their bad personalities or habits. Let those children understand their negatives. Lead them to have a right mind and thoughts.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I think that each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received.
Augustus, who has an inordinate desire for food especially for chocolate, fell into the chocolate river. The punishment tells him that he should be satisfied with what he has got. Veruca, who keeps asking for everything she likes, was hit by squirrels because she wants to have a squirrel, and then fell into a wasteland. The punishment tells her not to be self-willed and there is something that will be against her.
Violet, who is unwilling to be left behind others, ate an unmade chewing gun and became a big blue berry. The punishment tells her not to be always self-conceited. The Television, who was watching TV all day long and is arrogant, was punished by becoming a very smile person. The punishment tells him not to be violent and regard himself as the most smart in the world. Don't be overweening.
3. Because of his politeness and honesty, Charlie could inherit the dream factory. In addition, what he has done is for his family and he doesn't have any greediness in his mind. Such a considerate child that is desired the luck.

(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think that Mr.Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children. He is trying to educate both of children and parents. He uses a different way to teach the people that it is not good to spoil the children.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Of course, because they should deserve the punishments for the things they have done. If they receive the punishments, maybe next time they will change their mind. Furthermore, they may make a self-examination. In this way, they can change into good children.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
He has a pure mind. He is not bad,arrogant,competitive and tv-indulged at all. He has a good quality. He likes to help others.
Besides, he is friendly,fine,kind-hearted and responsible. These are the reasons why led him to the inheritance of a dream factory.

ReplyDelete(1) I think that Mr. Wonka can do this but he cannot do “over” this. Because the child is so spoiled, no one would punishment them or tell them what they should behave. Besides, we all know that “Men are blind in their own cause.” Their parents may not know what they do to their children. Worse of all, they may think their way of educating their children is proper and nothing is wrong. At this time, there should be someone to awake them.
ReplyDelete(2) I think they deserve the punishment he or she has received. Augustus Gloop is greedy and he is punished for wanting more than he should get. Violet Beauregarde is arrogant. She always brags of herself so she becomes very round like a balloon. Veruca Salt is spoiled. She can get whatever she wants. As a result, she was punished to get into a big garbage can. Mike Teavee is only believe himself is right so he was punished for not listening to others’ advice.
(3) Charlie is innocent, friendly and considerate. He is not conceited at all. When someone asks him question, he would give some his thoughts. He treats other well and, most important of all, he gets the golden ticket by himself. He is a person who can listen to others’ advice. This is important because a person who wants to improve himself needs to listen to others’ advice. He or she cannot be too arrogant; otherwise, it’s easy for that person to fail in the near future.
student ID：98540343
(1)Well, of course no one is entitled to punish others' children. But I think that giving them a letcure like Mr. Wonka does is fine. Those naughty kids are really unlovable and I want to punish them too.
ReplyDelete(2)Yes, I think that those children deserve those punishments. As visitors, they do not respect the host-Mr. Wonka. When he warns them of something forbidden, they are not obedient. Therefore, it is accurate to let them pay for their disobedience.
(3)Not like the other children, Charlie is humble and polite. He never does anything that may annoy Mr. Wonka at will. Instead, he will get his permission first. Besides, he is not ambitious at all to win the prize. Having the chance to visit the factory is enough and satisfying for him. He even does not want to inherit the factory if he are not able to accompany his family. I think it is his innocence and consideration that wins Mr. Wonka's trust.
~郭偉達98540346
(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteActually, I don’t think Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish those children. When they go around the factory, Mr. Wonka always explains everything to those children and warn those children when they are going to do something wrong. However, those children are so naughty that they still do what they want to do. They deserve it.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Yes, the children deserve the punishment they have received. When they try to do the wrong things, Mr. Wonka and their parents have warned them but they insist on doing those things. After receiving the punishment, maybe they will become good children.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
Charlie is so considerate and thoughtful that he always thinks about his family. In the movie, when he doesn’t get the golden ticket, he consoles his family and shares the chocolate with his family instead of asking one more chocolate. And when he visits the factory, he is always listening to Mr. Wonka and doesn’t do something that Mr. Wonka forbids. His good behaviors and kind heart makes him get the inheritance of the dream factory.
student ID:98540329
(1) Yes, I think Mr.Wonka can punish them. He is the supervisor of the Chocolate Factory. And he had warned the children what they can't do. However, the children didn't follow his words. Therefore, Mr.Wonda punished them.
ReplyDelete(2) I think the children deserved the punishment and they should take it as a lesson. Actually, Mr.Wonka is teaching them, he wanted the children to be good. He gave different punishment to different situation. I think that could educate the children.
(3) Charlie has a good personality. He is honest, humble and ungreedy. He is thoughtful for his family. He obeys what Mr.Wonka said. I think that's why he can win Mr.Wonka's heart and inherit the Chocolate Factory.
student id:98540332
Question one, I don't think he is entitled to punish other people's children. Those children are too naughty and they don't listen to adults. They just do what they want so they deserve to be punished. For the second question, Yes I think so, and those punishments are really suitable for each children. The last one, Charlie is a good boy, he does not touch any thing and he does listen to what Mr. Wonka is saying and behaviors himself. He's the perfect one for the factory!
ReplyDelete(1)No, I don't thik so. But I think this is a fairy story, it shape Mr. Wonka to be the Santa's role. So he might is like the other story say: "If child is bad, you don't have present." So Mr. Wonka can punish othe people's children in the story. In real life he will commit a crime.
ReplyDelete(2)In the real life it's might too over. This story is a fairy, so a majority of the readers are children. When children read the exaggerating punishment they reveived is a kind of education. They will know what should they do or what they shouldn't do.
(3)I think because he is a child, a real child. If ask me to give a examlpe, I will say: The Little Prince. Although it's not so exact, but the have the same qualities. A real chid heart! He can share; he is polite; he is honest; and he is a chil, who have the amazing future. And I think these qualities will take us success in the future, after we go into society:)
from: Yao ID:95820328
(1)I think that Mr. Wonka is not entitled to punish other people’s children. People have their own defects; we do not have the right to punish other people. All we can do is just suggesting them correcting their defects. However, in the movie, there must be someone to judge those parents and their children in order to make the movie interesting. I think Mr. Wonka will be the most suitable one.
ReplyDelete(2)I think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received. Each punishment is designed for correcting each child’s defects. In order to make the movie more attractive, the punishments might be too exaggerative and fantastic. The most impressive punishment is Violet Beauregarde’s. She eats the experimental chewing gum and it makes her body inflate like a huge blueberry. This part of the movie makes me feel interested.
(3)Although Charlie was born in a poor family, he was a considerate boy. The first time he got the Wonka chocolate on his birthday, he shared all the chocolate with his families. The second time he got the chocolate in the shop, he found the last golden ticket. Even Charlie was so happy to find the golden ticket; he wanted to change the golden ticket for money in order to improve the living of his family. I think that Charlie’s consideration and innocence will make him more creative, it might be the reason why he was chosen to inherit the dream factory.

ReplyDeleteIn my belief, the certain amount of punishment is beneficial for a child even for an adult. That is why there are laws, when people break the law they should be punished. In the story, i see Mr. Wonka as a teacheror, councilor, parent, an enforcer of the law, or even the law itself. He is the person in life that guides us, that points us in the right direction, and when we are misguided he gives us a little reminder maybe even punish us, just to keep us on track.
(2)
Each children had each of their own improper attitude. They showed, greed, arogancy, and violence. Their attitudes were displayed for the readers to see, to see that each misbehavior is not allowed, and will be punished if done. Also the book infers that parents should set examples, and therefore should not encourage their child when their misbehaving. Although this book may seem to be suitable only for children, I believe the writer hopes while the parents read to their child, they would read between the lines and pick up a few guidelines for raising a child.
(3)
Charlie was raised in a poor family, but a family with great values. Charlie is naive, he believes in miracles, and fantasies. Mr. Wonka relies on imagination to create his wonderous candies. Also Charlie is a very considerate child, he understands the meaning of sharing, givng, and loving. He truely cares about his family, loves them and respects them. The implies that this is the importance of a family, to provide love, care, and guidance. Which is what Mr. Wonka saw in Charlie, Mr. Wonka wasn't just picking out the children, but also choosing the children with a caring family of good moral values.
from 98540326 Serene Hu.
1. I think because Mr. Wonka didn’t receive enough love when he was a little child, he wanted to let those children know their attitude was wrong and correct their behavior.
ReplyDelete2. I think they deserved it. They should get some lesson and know how to cherish things they already had.
3. I think Charlie is a little boy who is modest and full of love for his family members. For this reason, in the end, he could win and help Mr. Wonka find back he and his father’s relationship.
~from Moranda Huang Student ID:98540324~
To be frank, I think that those kids in the movie that got punished deserve what they got because kids could be naive and innocent. But they eventually need to grow up and improve on what they are lack of. In the movie, there are many children that are spoiled or arrogant. Take that girl with arrogance as an example. Whatever that girl wants, she asks from her dad then her spoiled daddy will buy it for his precious daughter. To be more honest, I think those parents should also get punished.
ReplyDeleteAnd for Charlie, I really hope I could be that kind of child like Charlie, since he is the one that grows but not the one that loses what is the most important. He keeps the heart that is true, honest, young, brave and creative. He does not limit anything and give everything space for growing or changing. That is what I like about him!
(1) I think Mr. Wonka wants to let those children know that their behaviors are improper and need to be mended. And it might due to his childhood which his father wanted him to keep away from the sweet.
ReplyDelete(2) Well, we know that the movie exaggerated the punishment, but i think they deserve it. Those children are spoiled and I personally think that their parents alos need to be punished.
(3) Charlie is normal but he has a heart that willing to help others and he is curious about everything. What's more, he loves his family and his heart also full of love to others. He grows up during the trip of visiting the factory and always be humble. I think that's why he could inherit the factory
## 98540340 Enid
(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteHe doen't punish those children I think because those children are naughty and proud. They don't listen to the sign or warning. They get punishment because of their greedy, willfulness, arrogance and pride. They should learn a lesson or they will not change their disadvantages. Because parents spoil their children so the children develop bad personality. This movie tells that parents should pay attention to their children's education of personality or attitude.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Yes, they deserve those punishment because they produce the problems by themselves. For example, if August listened to Willy Wonka not to drink the chocolate, he won't fall into the pool and sucked into the pipe. They are too annoying and naughty so that they should be punished and learn how to be polite.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
He is naive and polite. He listens to the word that Wonka says and hold a curious attitude to learn. Other children look down on Wonka, but Charlie admires him because of his talent of invention. Charlie loves his family and satisfies with what he owns. He is the best choice to be the heir of the factory.

ReplyDeleteIt is Mr. Wonda that invite them to visit the factory for a whole day. So I think he absolutely should treat them well. However, they were just too naughty and arrogant. As a result, he substitute their parents to punish them as well as their family members.
(2)
The story is filled with ironies. The other mischievous kids were ignorant and unconscious about Mr. Wonka’s threats and warnings. They just intend to do that. So they really deserved the punishment.
(3)
Humbleness, lucky, and passionate are the qualities Charlie had. We should appreciate people’s favors and respect people.
#98540342 Aaron
1. I think a little bit, because he didn’t really care when the kids turn out weird. In the other hand, he didn’t force them to do naughty things and he did try to stop them, but they still do things that get them in trouble. So who knows!!! Although I think the spoiled kids should be punished.
ReplyDelete2. Just like I said I think they should be punished because spoiled kids would turn out to be a big problem after they grow up. They are used to having things they want and don’t know what’s called respect and manners. So I think it’s important to punish them and make them stop being so naughty as soon as we can.
3. He is brave and happy with what he has right now, he thinks about family first, and love them more then any thing else. He has a pear heart and a kind soul.
1. Of course Mr. Wonka has no right to punish other people’s children, for he is not their father. I think all he wants to do is let these indecent children and their parents know what their defects are. He educates each of children by using different ways, making each child’s parents understand that their ways of teaching are wrong. He hopes that these parents can correct their ways and children will amend their behavior well.
ReplyDelete2. Each of them deserves the punishment. Since if these children are not educated and correct their behavior well at such young age, they might have misbehavior problems and do whatever they like when growing up. It will be harder and more impossible to correct one’s disposition as he or she becomes an adult.
3. Charlie is very humble and well-behaved. He is also satisfied with what he has owned now and not jealous of what others have. Even though Mr. Wanka wants him to be the inheritor of the chocolate factory in the end, Charlie refuses to accept it and thinks the happiest in the world is being with his families. I think he is really a good model for each of us to learn.
from 98540345 Nicky Kuo
(1)No, I think that Mr. Wonka is not entitled to punish other people's children. Besides, he does not mean to punish those naughty children. Before they try something, Mr. Wonka has suggests them not to do it. They are all spoiled and mischievous that they deserve punishments from which to learn lessons.
ReplyDelete(2)Yes, I think they deserve the punishment. They are all spoiled by their parents, who should shoulder the responsibility as well. Take Veruca Sault and her father as examples, they both get the punishment by being kicked down to the garbage field. After they come out of it, the father does apparently transform into a more severe one who, at the first time, refuses to his daughter’s impermissible request. Mr. Wonka set the punishment cannily and every punishment is suitable for one particular role. Undoubtedly, Mr. Wonka is really a clever man.
(3)Affected by his miserable circumstances, Charlie is more mature than any other children of his same age. He is well-behaved and almost as clever as Mr. Wonka. His unselfishly love for his family touched Mr. Wonka , who does not get any love from his father and is even restricted to eat candies that normal children can do. Besides, when the story is going, Charlie’s remarks keep recalling Mr. Wonka’s memory of his father. In the end, Charlie even help Mr. Wonka solve his argument with his father.
FROM:Sally侯怡如 ID:98540320
ReplyDelete(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, although Mr. Wonka is not entitled to punish other people’s kid, the punishments were not that harmful. If these punishments could have the naughty kids learn a lesson, why not. Besides, he held this contest not only to educate the kids but also to sell more candies to tell every opponent he made a comeback.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Yes, I really do. It is definitely not because I hate these mischievous kids instead I hope them to become a useful guy. But with their personalities, it is hard for them to get along with someone else, not to mention success. Maybe their parents have tried disciplining them, but there is no effect. Thus having some punishments from Mr. Wonka’s weird thoughts, perhaps these worried parents will have well-behaved children.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
Considerate, easy-going, not greedy, and no any hateful qualities are the thing Charlie embodies. Thanks to the poverty Charlie has, he will not want to have anything exceeding his budget. And he is always content with everything he owns. Therefore Mr.Wonka like him very much.
From 曾昱翔 student ID 95360306
(1)No, I don’t think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people’s children since he is not their parents or god. He doesn’t have any right to punish them. All he can do is give them suggestion to lead them go on the right way. However, owing to his punishment, those children and parents can realize what kind of bad behaviors they get.Therefore, I am glad Mr.Wonka can give them the opportunity to mend their ways.
ReplyDelete(2)Yes, I think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received. Each of the children has a very bad behavior and if they didn’t correct these disadvantage, they would have met with many difficulties when they grew up. Thanks to Mr. Wonka, he gave them a good lesson to let them realize their bad behaviors.
(3)Charlie is a understanding, considerate and apprehensive boy. He always stand in others’ shoes instead of only thinking about himself. Take a example to illustrate, when he got his birthday present, chocolate bar, he distributed it to his family. And when he got the chance to chocolate factory he dreamed for a long time, he told his family that he could sell this ticket to others so that they could get a great amount of money and they didn’t have to live in want any more. Charlie always thinks of their family. In this case, we can know Charlie is eligible for taking over the chocolate factory.
studentID:98540321
(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, that is not called “punishment”. Mr. Wonka is actually teaching and correcting those bossy and misbehaved children in a different way. Although the way seems a little bit strange, I think that the way is actually suitable for those children.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Yes, I do think that the punishments are suitable for those children.
Take Veruca Salt for example, she is really a spoind girl. She insists that she will take the squirrel home even though she has already had lots of pets she asks her father to gave her; therefore, she is deemed as a bad chestnut by all squirrels and flushed down into dump pit just like her animals which are abandoned by her. I think this is really a good punishment for her because she should realize that every animal have rights to live happily. And this spoiled girl may also know that everything will not go like the way she asks to do.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
Charlie is a humble, innocent, and considerate boy. And the most important of all, not like other children, he gets the golden ticket by himself. What makes me admire him the most is that he gives up inheriting Willy Wonka’s factory because he is not able to meet his family and accompany his family any longer.

ReplyDelete(1)I don’t think Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people’s children. First, he is not children’s parent, so he has no right to do it. Second, in the reality, his punishment for children is kind of serious, irreversible.
ReplyDelete(2)Yes, they deserve those punishments because of their misbehaviors in Mr. Wonka’s chocolate factory. They are so naughty without control; they should receive some lessons from making troubles! Besides, their inappropriate behaviors are the results from parent’s spoiling, so their parents should take the responsibilities and be punished as well.
(3)Charlie is really a lovely, honest, polite boy. Although he grows up in a poor family, he doesn’t give up the child’s naive quality. I am glad to see Charlie remains the hope in life, which makes the miracle changing of his life happened.

(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteno, i think he just want to let the children know the should change their flaws. he just want they to be the kids who can considerate other's hard work.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
yes, i think every child should be punished if they really do something wrong.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
he is considerate and thoghtful. He thinks of what people thinks of that means that he has the quality that Mr. Wonka likes.He is friendly and has a sense of responsibility. That really makes him a good owner of the factory so that may be why Mr. Wonka picks him.
(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteNo, maybe Mr. Wonka have some magical power could punish people. But these children be punish by Mr. Wonka's factory machine because of their extreme attitude and behavior.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
No, althought these children should be punished, but I think these punishment are too serious for them.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
I think the reason Charlie won the dreamy magical factory is his good personality. Charlie is innocent, pure, most important is he has to be inquisitive about dreamy thing.
from :小玠 ID:95820317
(1.) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteFrankly speaking, I do not think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children, because he is not those children's parents or teacher. However, I believe that all Mr. Wonka wants to do just to warn those naughty kids and let them understand that their manner is extremely improper. These children are all spoiled by their parents due to the wrong way of education that their father and mother give. Mr. Wonka uses different methods to teach each child and educate not only those misbehaved boys and girls but also their parents.
(2.) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
Absolutely, I think each of them are deserve the most suitable punishment for what they have done in the chocolate factory. Instead of scolding them in front of their face, Mr. Wonka uses very smart way to correct these mischievous children's behavior. Take Augustus Gloop for example, he is sucked into a enormous pipe and fell down to the chocolate river as the punishment for his greedy heart and he is also unwilling to listen to other's dissuasion. When Mr. Wonka told him not to touch his chocolate river, he still insisted to drink it; therefore, I think his punishment is very proper.
(3.) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
I think the pure spirit, kind heart and thoughtful mind that Charlie has are make him very outstanding among the other four children. Comparing with other kids, Charlie is very considerate and always put his family in the first place; furthermore, he doesn't have any bad quality like greedy, conceited or self-centered. Although Charlie was born in a poor family, he is humble and grateful for what he possessed, and keeps being optimistic even when many difficulties happened to his family. I think the most critical trait that Charlie embodies is his love for his family members, I believe this is the major reason that why Mr. Wonka picks him to inherit his chocolate factory.

(1)"Spare the rod and spoil the childwe".We all know this. Child has mistake and wrong concepts that rely on adults to correct them.
ReplyDelete(2)Of course. Children must correct his mistake, or when he grows up,he can't hardly be corrected. In childhood should cultivate good habits, or it's too difficult to correct the bad habit.
(3)Because Charlie think that Mr. Wonka said is true. But in fact, he made the right decision. Finally, Mr. WonKa went to find his father with Charlie, so that they can unlock the misunderstanding. It's really warm!

(1) Do you think that Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish other people's children?
ReplyDeleteThose children are in Mr. Wonka’s factory; as the result, they should follow Mr. Wonka’s rules. However, some children broke Mr. Wonkas’s rules and destroyed some facilities there. Therefore, as the boss in the factory, Mr. Wonka has the right to punish them. For example, when we visit people and we are the guests in their home, we shouldn’t touch the things in their home without any permission. We should show our respect through following the house keepers’ rules. If we think the keeper’s rule is very strict, we don’t have to force ourselves to go to his house. Once we are the visitors, we should behave well; otherwise, we won’t be invited again. In other words, I think Mr. Wonka is entitled to punish those children who didn’t listen to his advice in the factory.
(2) Do you think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received?
I think each of them deserve their punishment because their parents have spoiled them too much. If Mr. Wonka did not give them a lesson, they would never know their arrogant faults. Those children think their parents should allow them to get what they want. They do not cherish what they have and just want to enjoy it immediately. The first child likes to eat chocolate and does not how to control himself. Mr. Wonka lets him fall into the chocolate river and gives him a lesson not to be so greedy. The second child is very proud of chewing gums, so Mr. Wonka let her become a bubble gum. The third one is over-spoiled by her parents and never satisfied what she has, so Mr. Wonka makes her stay with the garbage. The last one is very conceited about technology he knows, so Mr. Wonka shows his latest technology and makes him become a paper guy. To sum up, those children deserver their punishment to learn a lesson.
(3) What are the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory?
Charlie can appreciate everything he sees and he does not like to complain. Unlike those children who like to tease at Mr. Wonka’s inventions, Charlie can accept new ideas from Mr. Wonka. Furthermore, he loves his family and he is not selfish. Even though he loves Mr. Wonka’s factory, he chooses his family. Finally, he makes Mr. Wonka visit his father. In short, Charlie has an eye of appreciation and a heart of love.

(1)As far as I’m concerned, I think that Mr. Wonka isn’t entitled to punish other people’s children. All he wants to do is to teach these children and also their parents a lesson. Besides, all these children have really bad attitude. They don’t care about others. The only thing in their mind is their own benefits. I think Mr. Wonka just gives them little punishment to warn them. He doesn't intend to punish other people’s children.
ReplyDelete(2)Of course, I do think each of the children deserve the punishment he/she has received. The four children who deserve their punishment respectively result from their greed, self-will, being eager to do well in everything, arrogance. If they don’t receive the punishment, they will never know what they do is totally wrong. It is because that they don’t teach them which is right and which is wrong, either. So I think Mr. Wonka taught them a lesson. That’s why I think each of the children should have the punishment.
(3)I think that the special qualities that Charlie embodies that have led him to the inheritance of a dream factory are his selflessness and considerate attitude toward his family. From the movie, we can tell Charlie thought family always came first. When he got the last ticket to the factory, the only thing came to his mind was that he could sell this ticket to exchange for money so that their family would live better. And in the end, he got the inheritance of a dream factory, but he couldn’t live with his family anymore. As a result, he gave up this big chance. From the movie, we can know that money can’t buy everything, such as the love of family.
