Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War

Emily Hontiveros Ms. Albuquerque English I - Honors 13 October 2014 The Chocolate War: Chapters 11-20 Response Journals Something I dislike in the novel is the amount of sport terminology used. I find it confusing to refer to football “language” throughout scenes where significant events occur. “He had expected Carter to blitz and instead the big guard had pulled back and skirted the line, annihilating Jerry from behind (page 76).

Gobstoppers There are many similarities and differences between Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory“. In the book there were square candies that looked round unlike the movie that had exploding candies for enemies. Speaking of enemies, Charlie Bucket had none, but he did have a loving family and Charlie chose his grandpa Joe in the movie, in comparison to the book where he also chose grandpa Joe. In the movie his mom has a job and unlike the book where his dad works and not his mom. In the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” the paddle boat is made out of wood dissimilar to the book where it’s made out of a pink candy.

“No two persons read the same book ever” (Edmund Wilson). The way people comprehend books can vary from person to person. Some may be offended by it’s contents, but others may think it’s completely appropriate. The Marbury Lens by Andrew Smith, has had the same reaction. When Andrew Smith was writing this book, he was trying to get fired.

Coming from very poor family, Charlie was very lucky to get one of the five golden tickets offered by Willy Wonka to visit his chocolate factory. Willy Wonka is the most renowned candy maker in the world and an endless combination of opposing parts. He was looking for a child who does not cause trouble and whom he can teach all the secrets of his factory, and take over it after him. Five children who have found golden tickets compete to see who will take over Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. One by one other four kids were eliminated except Charlie because they had some serious character flaw on the journey of chocolate factory.

The main point that books are challenged or banned because people think that some books teach the readers wrong or inappropriate things. Many books are challenged/banned every year, but do all books deserve to be? No, not all

The book and the movie of The Chocolate War have many similarities and differences. The director did manage to keep some of the plot events, but there were some changes. The major changes made a difference in some parts of the story. Although they might have their differences, they still tell the same message. One main event that is apparent in both the book and the movie is when Jerry refuses to sell the chocolates for the school’s fundraiser sale.

Wonka’s chocolate bars create a class disparity in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, displaying how consumerism and materialistic desire controls and creates a hierarchical society. In the beginning of the novel, Willy Wonka announces the opening of his factory to a select few with a golden ticket. These golden tickets are “hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary candy bars. These five candy bars may be anywhere – in any shop in any street in any town in any country in the world” (Dahl 20). Thus, to obtain the golden ticket and indulge themselves in the factory, children are encouraged to purchase Wonka’s chocolate bars in excess.

An audience that is watching film that has been adapted from a novel always watches very carefully. The audience member who have read the book are concerned to see if any of the main elements of the book or scenes that the reader connected with, will be removed from the film or that the film’s plot will deviate from the original story line. Most audience do not realize that the production and shaping of a film is strongly influenced by the historical background of the time period. In the preparation of the film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), the director, Mel Stuart, and the production team had to evaluate the film to make it sure met the standards of the production code at the time of the production. Due to the political party

Religioso, Ariana Nicole A. 1CheD A Savoured Disparity and Similarity: Like Water for Chocolate vs. Chocolat The realms of the novel, Like Water for Chocolate and the movie, Chocolat are hardly seen in accord with one another. Having different approach of eras, in different styles, and in different cultures, these two appear, at first glance, to have little in common. The approach of Chocolat’s movie realism seems very incompatible with Like Water for Chocolate’s surrealistic imagery, and yet, if we look closely and way deeper, we can find common threads woven between the two works.

Originally published in 1990, The Things They Carried is a collection of war stories that took place during the Vietnam War. Due to its accurate and honest depiction of war, it has been banned for crude language, violence, drug use, and sexual innuendo. The author, Tim O’Brien, was born in Austin, Minnesota in 1946.

Moreover, it takes away a citizen 's first amendment and the right to free speech. Lastly, the series, Harry Potter has inappropriate topics that led it to being banned like magic, sorcery, and witchcraft. Some books are frequently banned in schools because they contain profanity/slurs, and explicit content; however, some people argue that these precisely same books are worth reading because they teach extremely crucial life lessons, and defends the First Amendment. There are multiple reasons why parents are banning books.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Inferno Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Dante’s Inferno are similar and very much so. A journey through a chocolate factory and Hell, when put up to interpretation, are actually more similar than you think. Many things in both Willy Wonka and Dante’s Inferno while having literal meanings, also have allegorical meanings. For example, in both Willy Wonka and Dante's Inferno there were punishments that got worse the deeper they went, Dante and Charlie both had a voice of reason, and both stories have many plot similarities.

Her seventh and final book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, was the largest pre-ordered book ever. After she wrote her books Rowling, had went from a single mother, who could barely support her and her child, to an excellent author, whom everybody liked. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”, the fourth book in the series, is a spectacular book. Rowling incorporates love and friendship, which let readers see Harry, Hermione, and Ron grow into young adults, but still keeps the story interesting, with dangers to Harry and to the wizarding world. Rowling did a fantastic job, putting all of these elements together to make it the most exciting book in the series (The Biography).

Both Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory mirror the overall original storyline quite well; however, there are several subtle character differences and a multitude of dramatic film enhancements within the films that make each film stand on its own. Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for children of all ages. The central plot was about Charlie Bucket and how his character throughout the story proved himself worthy of taking over Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory. In Willy Wonka (1971), the portrayal of Charlie as the main character remained; however, in Charlie (2005), the role of Willy Wonka was in the spotlight more than Charlie was. The titles for
