Charlie And the Chocolate Factory. Review By Ayush R, X A

 Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Written by ROALD DAHL

During the holidays, I used to enjoy reading books. One of my all-time favorites and the one I read the most during the vacation was “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” represents a fun children's novel with many modern fairytale characteristics. There are many surreal elements in this book and as in any other fairytale nobility and kindness are rewarded.

In the center of the story are Charlie and 4 other kids who represent the worst human flaws. Veruca Salt is a spoiled rich girl whose parents make her every wish come true. August Gloop is an obese boy that eats everything and that almost costs him his life because he nearly drowned in chocolate. Mike is a boy who always watches TV.

The complete opposite is Charlie whose family is barely making a living but they always manage to surprise him for his birthday. The moral of the story is that kindness always wins. The reader sees the main problems of modern society such as unhealthy eating and people becoming couch potatoes. As with any other fairytale, this one also has a happy ending.

The novel is written in the third person singular and divided into 30 chapters and every chapter has a title.

Overall, I give This book a total of 10/10. Must read if you love fiction and classics.

MOTHER THERESA

MOTHER THERESA GEORGE JOSEPH SHARON BOOKS Dear friends I am Vaishnavi of class IX.   During the lock down period I happened to be with my grandparents.   Believe me, I have a great time here.   We do have a good collection of books here. Searching for a book that can interest me, this book on one of the greatest souls ever to live on Earth reached my hands. The language of the book is as simple as the life lead by the Great Soul.   It really touched me.   I have heard of the saying, “charity begins from home”. After reading this book I became very sure of the saying.   Charity actually begins from home; from oneself.   Each one of us has to hear that “inner call” and respond to it. I am looking forward to sharing another experience with another book in the days to come. Till then Bye.  Take care. Stay Home, Stay Safe.

Books are the greatest blessing

It is a great pleasure to be a part of a forum that discusses books. Books have always been my best friends. I turn to them in joy and sorrow and feel strongly that life without books would be impossible. I appreciate the initiative taken by Mrs. Anitha, our librarian and Mr. Rajendran, our Principal. As Sir rightly pointed out in his message, books are the greatest blessing, especially in these trying times. I am happy to see that students have turned to reading. I,too, am making use of the lockdown to widen my reading experience. Apart from some bestsellers, I read two interesting books recently. 'Home" by Manju Kapur, published by Penguin, is an interesting story of the conflicts that arise in a joint family due to the changes in society. Manju Kapur had impressed me with her deep insight into the workings of the human mind in the book, 'Difficult Daughters'. This book follows the changes in a family through three generations. The sari-selling family must cope wi
