today shared the book " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ".
In 2016, the British " Daily Mail " published a series of "mouthful" landscape pictures. Photographer and cream lover Carl Warner has a great mind. Candy, cream and chocolate were transformed under him and became the raw materials for construction. The rails and trains are all made of chocolate, the cobblestone path is paved with pink marshmallows, and the pyramid in the distance is actually cheese blocks.
However, this is not a "new thing". As early as 1964, British writer Roald Dahl had already outlined such a wonderful scene in his work "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are arguably a lot of honors, winning the New England Children’s Library Roundtable Award, Surrey School Book of the Year Award, Minnenem Children’s Book Award and Blue Peter Book Award. In 2005, the release of the movie of the same name attracted countless children. The Academy Awards, the US Golden Globes and other seven international awards were won.
This book is so popular, so who is its author, Roald Dahl?
dal in his early years studied at Lipton School in Derbyshire , UK. At that time, Cadbury Foods would occasionally send some new chocolate products to school, and the students became "sweet testers." Dahl often wants to invent some new chocolates. So he was praised by Cadbury Foods, which was the inspiration for his creation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Dal has been a pilot, and in World War II , there were thrilling fierce air battles. He has been an "air force ambassador" like an agent, and has written the 007 film script "You can only live twice" that is popular all over the world. He has taught himself to become an art collector, connoisseur, antique furniture expert, wine expert and orchid expert. versatile and a winner in life.
of course, Dahl's most important title is children's writer. He created 18 children's books, such as "James and the Great Immortal Peach", "Good-minded Giant", " Witch ", " Awesome Fox Dad ", and " Matilda ". The magic of these works has transcended language and borders. All the children who have read it can't help but be fascinated by the world of pleasure and thrilling magic that he created, "no one is spared." Why do you say that what he wrote is unique?
We can read a kind of humorous or absurd beauty from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The writer has built a world that advocates chocolate, and everyone is eager to get the candy of chocolate tycoon Wonka. The Indian prince even invited Wonka to build a palace made of chocolate for him. Bricks are chocolate, and the sticky mud of bricklaying is also chocolate. The windows, walls, ceilings, carpets, paintings, furniture and all beds are made of chocolate. And when you turn on the bathroom faucet, boiling chocolate gushed out.
Children have no resistance when they see these magical and imaginative pictures. This is just the first step. The writer Dahl also sets up clever suspense, a legend like Wonka, who can build a palace with chocolate. It is said that his own chocolate factory should be crowded. However, what people see is the huge chocolate factory door locked. People in the town never even saw anyone coming in and out of the gate, and no one knew how it was running inside.
This is also the most interesting thing about this book. It makes people think about it while thinking about what is in the chocolate factory.Why does it fascinate the whole world?
chocolate factory, we may think of thousands of boxes of chocolates of various flavors, but the author has played his imagination to the limit. He set up a pouring chocolate waterfall for Wonka's factory, a rushing chocolate river, an endless chocolate meadow, and a towering milk candy mountain. If it were you, can you restrain yourself from being tempted by it? Follow Mr. Wonka’s factory rules?
This is obviously a test for children. Except for Charlie, the other four children were eliminated one after another. From "fighting for gold vouchers" to "being Wonka with all kinds of strange punishments." It has to be said that while meeting children's psychological needs, the author also brings out educational thoughts. If children are compared to chocolate, then parents are the factory that makes them. Why?
The little fat man Augustus has an amazing appetite and always overeats. Not only did his mother not stop him, she was also proud of his "working hard" to eat chocolate with gold vouchers. When he arrived at the factory, he saw the endless stream of chocolate rivers. He could no longer control himself and went to drink secretly. As a result, he fell into the river and was sucked into the vortex by the machine.
The doting rich girl Weiluka, in her opinion, must have as long as she wants. In order to realize her dream of gold coupons, her father bought thousands of boxes of chocolates. Let the workers in his factory unpack the packaging day and night. In the nut workshop, she didn't listen to the advice and jumped into the production area, trying to catch a squirrel who could only tell the quality of nuts as a pet. As a result, it was thrown into the trash bin as a bad nut.
can be seen that a father blindly indulges his children's wishes, not only will he lose the authority of his parents, but he will also be led by his children. Violet, who chews gum every day, believes in "success science" and her mother trains her as the "chewing gum champion", so she has to be the first in everything. When she heard that Wonka’s factory could actually make “chewing gum that chews out the delicacies of the mountains and the seas.” She ignored the dissuasion and ate it as soon as she took it. As a result, the gum had not been developed yet and she turned into an expanded berries.
Perhaps, the author wants to tell us that if we fail to stick to the bottom line in the face of temptation, we will eventually be punished by greed. At the same time, for parents, in the process of educating their children, choosing the way of love also requires mastering the principle of moderation. Swiss educator Pestalochi once said that family affection is the starting point of morality.
compared to these "negative textbooks", although the Charlie family is poor, they exudes a light of happiness and warmth. They attach great importance to reunion. Charlie listened to stories from grandparents, grandparents, and said good night to them. Communication made them temporarily forget hunger and poverty. Instead, indulge in a happy family atmosphere. For Charlie's favorite chocolate, the whole family tightened their belts and bought Charlie chocolate as a birthday gift.
sensible Charlie also cherishes it very much. He always wraps the chocolate carefully first. He is so greedy that he can't stand it anymore, so he tastes it bit by bit. A small piece of chocolate can last for up to one month. After my father lost his job, hunger and cold became even more severe. In order to save food, Charlie walked to school ten minutes early every day to reduce the physical loss caused by rushing running. Other children threw snowballs and fell during class, so he sat quietly in the classroom.
When he learned that Mr. Wonka was about to issue gold coupons, even if the family was penniless, it did not undermine Charlie's self-confidence, nor did he restrict his right to dream. Grandma encouraged him to say "Nothing' s impossible". Grandpa secretly bought chocolate for Charlie with his "private money". Later, Charlie really won the prize. He wanted to exchange gold vouchers for money to subsidize his family. Grandpa also said earnestly, "There are thousands of banknotes printed every day.There are only five invitation tickets in the world. Go and change your dirty pants and prepare to visit. Our lives will get better, and only fools will give up such opportunities."
's family's support gave Charlie's dream a solid backing. At the end, Wonka invited Charlie as the heir to the factory. Faced with such a generous "lifelong prize", Charlie considered the first thing he did not want to separate from his family who could not be left behind. family affection gave him watering, let him learn Can love others and learn to protect the more precious things in life.
In addition to a few children with different personalities, it reflects different family education . What makes the author superior is that his works have a deeper "core" like wine-heart chocolate . This book also contains his reflection on modern industrialization. Does the mass production of industrial civilization satisfy people's desires or bring unemployment and What about the difference between the rich and the poor?
Charlie's father originally worked in a toothpaste factory. He was on the assembly line all day, and he screwed the toothpaste tube day after day. However, the industrial production and hot sales of candy have led to the surge in tooth decay and also promoted the sales of toothpaste. The toothpaste factory made a lot of money, and the factory also decided to develop towards modernization.
so there is no need to manually twist the bottle cap Charlie's father was unemployed. But Charlie's family had only his father working. The family of seven lived in a small wooden house with air leakage. Four elderly people slept on one bed, and only rolls of green vegetables were rolled in three meals. The source of income was cut off, and Charlie's father could only go to the street to shovel snow and survive with less wages.
This is the impact of industrial production on individuals and their families. The book also describes unfair competition among industries. The market competition under industrialization is very fierce. People are fighting for interests. Initially, the reason why Wonka’s factory fired workers was because of spies leaking secrets, which allowed other factories to obtain Wonka’s “secret recipe”. Mr. Fickelgruber’s factory began to sell an ice cream that would not melt under the hot sun.
Mr. Proudnos’ factory launched a chewing gum that would not dissipate no matter how long it took to chew. Mr. Slagworth’s factory produced a large sugar balloon that could be blown. These recipes were stolen. Later, all workers were forced to be laid off and unemployed, and fell into trouble. Wonka began to lose trust in others and could only find some ignorant dwarfs to be his workers from the primitive jungle.
With the booming industry, electronic technology also developed rapidly. With the help of the boy Mike, the author showed us his reflection on technology. Mike is a TV controller, obsessed with violent programs such as machine guns and strafing. He also likes to imitate those "heroes" of violence, and is full of He was not interested in any chocolate or candy in the chocolate factory. Only the "chocolate TV" invented by Mr. Wonka can attract his attention.
Wonka decomposes the chocolate into particles in the air and transmits it into the TV screen. As long as you reach out to get it, you can eat it. But Mike thinks it is simply a waste of money. He has a more "greedy" idea and becomes "the first person in the world to be transmitted by TV." So he broke into the teleportation machine, and as a result, When the family grabbed him out of the screen, only sesame seeds were as small as the sesame sees.
dwarfs also presented a very interesting song for Mike. When we arrived at every house, we saw the children staring at the screen. They were lazy and staring at greedy, and their eyes burst out. They became dizzy. There were so many books waiting for you to read, so many wonderful and fantasy stories, dinosaurs, gypsies, queens, whales, Treasure Island and the distant coast.
From this song, we can hear that the author regrets the development of technology, which brings us visual entertainment, but makes us forget to think. How many people are willing to calm down and appreciate the various stories in the book? More and more children are addicted to electronic devices and even in the exciting virtual world, gradually losing their social skills. With new technology, it is constantly changing the growth model of children. How can children have the best childhood? This is also a question left by the author to the big readers.
This book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" can not only satisfy the "small foodies"'s yearning for foodies, but also inspire children's philosophy. In addition to various chocolates, there are many magical candies in the book, such as hard candies that change color every ten seconds, wonderful hand-pinching cream chocolate fudge, candies that will squirm happily after swallowing into the stomach, and six different colors of rainbow fruit candies will flash out of the whole body after eating. Hold this sweet book and read it together!
