Chapters 21- 22
Settings: the Inventing Room in the chocolate factory,
the long corridor in the factory.
Characters: Violet, Mr. Willy Wonka, Violet’s parents,
some Oompaa-Loompas, the visitors of the factory.
Summery: these chapters narrate what is happening in the
Inventing Room that the lucky winners are visiting. The
invention that Mr. Willy Wonka shows them is the magic
chewing-gum meal. It is magic because if you chew it, you can
savour a complete meal formed by tomato soup, roast beef and
blueberry pie.
All the visitors are incredulous and one of them, Violet - the
spoilt girl - doesn’t resist and takes one piece of this gum and
start chewing it.
Mr. Willy Wonka and her parents shout at her she has to spit the
gum because it isn’t ready to be eaten. The girl keeps eating
the gum and tastes all the food, but when she arrives at the
blueberry pie and cream, all her body becomes blue and purple as
a blueberry and, at last, she blows up like a balloon. Her
parents are very worried for their daughter, but Mr Willy Wonka
isn’t amazed because he has tried the gum for twenty times, and
all the twenty Oompaa-Loompas had finished up as a blueberry.
Willy Wonka calls up some Oompaa-Loompas and orders them to take
the girl in the Juicing Room where they must squeeze the juice
out of the round body of the girl. The chapter finishes with a
short song that the Oompaa-Loompas sing while they are rolling
Violet in the room. Chapter 22 describes a long corridor that Mr
Willy Wonka shows the visitors in order to avoid other problems
in the Inventing Room.
There are many many doors and every door is the entry into
another different room. Charlie is very curious when he reads
the names of the rooms written on the doors, but Willy Wonka
goes on up to a door that says : “Square sweets that look
round.”
Personal comments: we think that the chapter number 21 is
the funniest in the whole book, because it shows the image that
Violet puts on after eating the gum invented by Willy Wonka.
We have laughed very much when we have read the description of
Violet because we have imagined the body of Violet all purple
and fat as a blueberry!!!!
In the chapter 22, the description of the long corridor makes us
very curious because we would like to enter all the rooms that
are mentioned and look what they contain.
Relevant quotations: “The girl’s going blue and purple all
over”
We think that this sentence is very funny and comic because when
we have read the chapter immediately we have imagined the
episode and we laughed for a long time!
“Squeeze her, we have got to squeeze the juice out of her
immediately. After that, we will just have to see how she comes
out.”
This sentence used by Mr Willy Wonka to console Violet’s parents,
is very funny, too! If I imagine how the Oompaa-Loompas are
squeezing the body of the girl, I die laughing!!! And you???
