Resumo de Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Charlie Bucket is a poor child, struggling against
great odds to help support his parents and his indigent grand-parents,
all of whom share the same great bed. Charlies father has been
laid off from his job at the toothpaste factory, where he was the man
who put the caps on the tubes. Charlie's mother takes in laundry
and does her best to stretch the very meager amount of food she can
afford to feed six adults and Charlie. While Charlie tries to
skip meals as much as possible to help his family, they in turn try to
skimp so that he may be fed. Charlie dreams of a day when they
all have enough to eat, something that doesn't happen very often in
this dreary world as portrayed by Roald Dahl.
    Charlie passes the fabulous factory of Mr. Willy
Wonka on his way to school every day, a place held in highest esteem by
all chocolate lovers of his world, shrouded in deep mystery since the
day Mr. Wonka closed the factory doors to outside workers. The
fantasy world hidden behind the fence and walls gives Charlie hope that
somewhere there is a place where there is plenty of food and everything
is delicious. His hopes are fueled by the announcement of a
contest for five lucky children to be allowed to enter and tour the
facility, and each child to receive a lifetime's supply of the fabulous
chocolates! For Charlie, this is a dream come true!
    With the finding of each golden ticket, Charlie's
hopes dwindle like the small flame on a guttering candle. Even
his beloved Grandfather begins to lose hope that someone with so very
little pocket money will ever find one of the fabulous golden tickets,
until the day that Charlie finds one after all hope has been
exhausted. It is here that the real adventure begins.
Charlie and his grandfather are led on a tour through the vast factory,
while each of the children that accompany them on the tour fall prey to
a mishap that points out the deadly sin or character flaw of each
child: gluttony, greed, stubborness and sloth. Each child who
leaves the factory will be changed by their experience, but not
permanently harmed, Mr. Wonka assures us.
    As the tour winds down to it's conclusion, we learn
many answers to the secrets of the factory, including why Mr. Wonka
held the contest in the first place; to find a suitable heir to the
Wonka Chocolate Factory.
