CHAPTER
27
Settings:
Television Room
Characters:
Mr. Willy Wonka, Grandpa Joe, Charlie, Mike Teavee, Mrs. Teavee,
Mr. Teavee, Oompa-Loompas
Summary:
Mr.
Wonka and the rest of the company arrived in a particular room:
The Television-Chocolate Room. In this room there was a special
TV that sent things and people in every part of the world. But,
this machine had not been tested on people, yet. Unfortunately,
as Mike heard Mr. Wonka saying that the television could send
also people, he started running and jumped into the screen of
it. So Mike was divided into a million tiny pieces and
disappeared into the bright screen. After that, all the people
in the room was standing with an air of astonishment and fright.
Suddenly, the screen started to be glare and bright, an image of
person appeared in it: it was Mike that was returning from his
special adventure.
Fortunately
he was completely unharmed but there was also a little problem:
Mike wasn’t taller than a finger. Mike’s parents, worried
for their child, asked Mr. Wonka to help him. So, Wonka
elaborated a solution for enlarging the little Mike. In fact, as
Mr. Wonka thought, the little boys are very elastic and soft:
for this reason it would be enough to stretch it and, at the
same time, give him a Super Vitamin Chocolate.
Then
Mr. Wonka called the Oompa-Loompa and he instructed them to
accompany Mike and his family in the stretch room. As usual, the
Oompa-Loompa started their work with a funny song about the
situation of the poor Mike.
Personal
comments: this chapter introduces the end of the book:
Charlie is now the last child in the factory but we can’t
image what will happen to the protagonist. If we look at the
symbolic aspects we can observe a criticism to a particular
human defect: the incapacity to think before doing something.
Relevant
quotation: “It also contains vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin F, vitamin
G, vitamin I, vitamin J, vitamin K, vitamin L, vitamin M,
vitamin N, vitamin O, vitamin P, vitamin Q , vitamin R, vitamin
T, vitamin U, vitamin V, vitamin W, vitamin X, vitamin Y, and,
believe it or not, vitamin Z! The only two vitamins it doesn't
have in it are vitamin S, because it makes you sick, and vitamin
H, because it makes you grow horns on the top of your head, like
a bull. But it does have in it a very small amount of the rarest
and most magical vitamin of them all — vitamin Wonka.”
This
sentence certifies an incredible sense of creativity by the
author. It’s very difficult today to find a book so funny and,
at the same time, so instructive. For this reason, I recommend
this book to everyone because it’s a gleaming star in the
contemporary literature.
Chaper 28
Settings:
in and out the lift of glass.
Characters:
Mister Wonka, Charlie and Joe.
Summary:
in the 28th chapter there are many descriptions of the
characters' moods. Mr Wonka is very happy and excited because
Charlie is the only child left in his factory.
Charlie is astonished: Charlie is the winner! The game of looks
between Mr Wonka , Charlie and Joe, creates a triangle. A
triangle of strong emotions that we find in the whole chapter.
The scenes and the events become swift and hurry. “Come on !
Hurry up ! “
The motions in this chapter are essential to feel the importance
of the actions. The chapter is set in and out of the lift of
glass.
“Charlie is the only child stayed, the only winner…”
Personal comments: in this chapter I liked very much the
velocity in telling the actions of the characters. They make the
reader feel the emotions and the moods of the characters.
Relevant
quotation:the phrase that I liked most is : “Why ,yes ,
yes.” Said Charlie . Wiith that expression, Charlie is
aware of being the only child stayed in Willy Wonka's factory.
In this moment Charlie has a mixed of happiness and surprise.
The beginning “why” suggests Charlie's surprise.
The two "yes" strengthen the idea that Charlie, and
only Charlie, is the WINNER!
