For homework, please read Chapters 7 to Chapter 12 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
On the forum, please respond to the following:
What is the miracle that happens to Charlie and how did Charlie’s family react towards the miracle? Has anything completely unexpected and miraculous ever happened in your life? Describe the circumstance.
Please translate p. 40 beginning with “And now, very calmly, with that curious wisdom…” until the end of the page.
While you are reading, here are some questions to keep in mind, especially since this book is a little more difficult than Charlotte's Web. You don't need to post replies to these, but just think about them during the week:
- How did Charlie feel after he opened his birthday present? How did his family feel?
- What is your impression of Violet? Do you agree with Grandma Georgina, calling her despicable?
- What is your impression of Mike Teavee?
- What do we learn about Grandpa Joe in this reading? Is his gambling worth it?
Have fun reading!
