Charlie and the chocolate factory
...because ages ago Mr. Wonka had laid off all of his employees and yet the chocolate factory was able to produce the wonderful chocolate enjoyed by all. One day, Mr. Wonka promotes a contest in which he had hidden Golden Tickets in five chocolate bars. Those who are able to find one of the Golden Tickets were able to enter his factory. The five people who had found the Golden Ticket were: Charlie Bucket (The main character.

Things might seem all cheery and well but when that one thing everyone wants is offered to the public, everything because hectic. In relation to the story, people scurry to find the golden tickets. They do whatever is necessary. An example of this is when Veruca Salt forces parents to find one of the golden tickets for her. She threatens them by saying that she would never talk to them anymore (Dahl 20). This is shown in both versions. Love is seen as something that push’s Charlie to get whatever his goal is. For example, once the word hit about the 5 golden tickets, his Grandpa Joe showed nothing but support for helping Charlie finding one of those tickets. For Charlie’s birthday, the Grandparents gather...
