Summary: the 5th chapter shows an announcement of Willy Wonka on the
newspaper. In fact Mr. Wonka announces that in five chocolate
boxes there is a Golden Ticket that will give the five lucky
possessors the possibility to visit his factory. The five
tickets are all over the world and anyone can find them. Grandpa
Joe finds this idea very stunning because in this way Willy
Wonka could increase the sales of his products.
The 6th chapter speaks about the first two lucky finders. The
first finders is a boy called Augustus Gloop. On the newspaper
there is a picture of the boy. He is nine years old and
enormously fat;
flabby folds of fat bulged out from every part of his body. His
mother had told the journalist that Augustus eats many bars of
chocolate a day that it was almost impossible for him not to
find one ticket.In the world everybody wants one Golden Ticket,
everybody spends a lot of money to buy chocolate bars and find
one Ticket. ”A famous English scientist invented a machine which
would tell you at once without opening the wrapper of a bar of
chocolate, weather or not there was a Golden Ticket hidden
underneath it”. The second finder is Veruca Salt, a very rich
girl, her father told a journalist that Veruca doesn’t eat the
chocolate but he bought hundreds of chocolate bars and took
there into his peanut factory. A hundred women working for him
unwrapped the bars, then they found the golden ticket.
Personal comments:
these chapters are beautiful because these are the first finders of
the Golden Tickets and therefore we can see the happiness of these
children,
that are the first persons who can go into the factory, both
when they read the sentence behind the tickets and when they are in front of the journalists.
Relevant
quotation: "I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow
five children — just five, mind you, andno more — to visit my
factory this year. These lucky five will be shown
around personally by me, and they will be allowed to see all the
secrets and
the magic of my factory. Then, at the end of the tour, as a
special present, all
of them will be given enough chocolates and sweets to last them
for the rest
of their lives! So watch out for the Golden Tickets! Five Golden
Tickets have
been printed on golden paper, and these five Golden Tickets have
been
hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary
bars of
chocolate. These five chocolate bars may be anywhere — in any
shop in any
street in any town in any country in the world — upon any
counter where
Wonka's Sweets are sold. And the five lucky finders of these
five Golden
Tickets are the only ones who will be allowed to visit my
factory and see what
it's like now inside! Good luck to you all, and happy hunting"
