I remember reading this book (and watching the movie) several times as a child, and every time I did, I always marveled at how magnificent and awesome Wonka’s Factory seemed. Moreover, I thought both the book and movie taught me that being humble (like Charlie) would get one far, as Charlie was rewarded with possessions beyond his dreams, while the other four children were punished (sent home) for their greed (Augustus), pride (Violet), laziness (Mike) and being spoilt (Veruca). However, reading this book now, as an adult, I realize that there are more to this book then just displaying characteristics NOT-to-have, to get far in life.
