Title of the book: Alice in the wonderland
Author of the book: Lewis Carroll
Theme: philosophical, and scientific
Where does the book take place: Alice in Wonderland is set in two
places. It begins in Victorian England. When Alice follows the White Rabbit
down his hole
The explanacion: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland represents the
child’s struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults. To understand
our adult world, Alice has to overcome the open-mindedness that is
characteristic for children. Apparently, adults need rules to live by.
Opinion: The book is brilliant for children, but with enough hilarity
and joy for life in it to please adults too, Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland is a lovely book with which to take a brief respite
from our overly rational.
Characters:
Alice
The heroine of the story. Her adventures begin with her fateful jump down the
rabbit hole, and the tale is an extended metaphor for the challenges she will face
as she grows into an adult. She possesses unusual composure for a child, and she
seems bright but makes many charming mistakes. She grows more confident as
the book progresses.
White Rabbit
Alice's adventures begin when she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit-hole.
He is a messenger and a herald at the Court of the King and Queen of Hearts. He
wears a waist-coat and carries a pocket watch.
Mouse
Alice meets the mouse while swimming in the pool of tears. He hates cats and
dogs, and he begins to tell Alice a disturbing story about being put on trial. He is
very sensitive.
Bill
A lizard in the service of the White Rabbit. When Alice is a giant and stuck in the
White Rabbit's house, she kicks Bill out of the chimney. Bill is also one of the
jurors at the trial at the end of the book.
Caterpillar
Wise, enigmatic, and unshakably mellow, the Caterpillar gives Alice some valuable
advice about how to get by in Wonderland. He smokes a hookah and sits on a
mushroom. He gives Alice the valuable gift of the mushroom (one side making her
bigger, and the other making her small), which gives her control of her size in
Wonderland.
The Pigeon
The Pigeon is afraid for her eggs, and mistakes Alice for a serpent. Alice tries to
reason with her, but the Pigeon forces her away.
Duchess
When Alice first meets the Duchess, she is a disagreeable woman nursing a baby
and arguing with her cook. Later, she is put under sentence of execution. The
Duchess seems different when Alice meets her a second time, later in the book,
and Alice notices that the Duchess speaks only in pat morals.
Cook
Argumentative, and convinced that pepper is the key ingredient in all food. She
first appears at the house of the Duchess, where she is throwing everything in
sight at the Duchess and the baby. Later, she is a witness at the trial of the Knave
of Hearts.
Baby
The baby the Duchess nurses. Alice is concerned about leaving the child in such a
violent environment, so she takes him with her. He turns into a pig.
Cheshire Cat
Possessing remarkably sharp claws and alarming sharp teeth, the Cheshire cat is
courteous and helpful, despite his frightening appearance. His face is fixed in an
eerie grin. He can make any and all parts of his body disappear and reappear.
Hatter
A madman who sits always at tea, every since Time stopped working for him. He
takes his tea with the March Hare and the Dormouse. Alice is temporarily their
guest, although she finds the event to be the stupidest tea party she has ever
attended. Later, the nervous hatter is forced to be a witness at the trial.
March Hare
Playing with the expression, "Mad as a March Hare," Carroll puts him in the
company of the mad Hatter and the narcoleptic Dormouse. Their strange tea
party is at the March Hare's house.
The Dormouse
Another guest at the mad tea party. He can't seem to stay awake. He is also one
of the observers at the trial.
Two, Five, and Seven
These three unfortunate gardeners are struggling to repaint the Queen's roses, as
they planted white roses by mistake and now fear for their lives. Like the other
people working for the queen, they are shaped like playing cards. When the
Queen orders their beheading, Alice hides them.
Queen of Hearts
Nasty, brutal, and loud, the Queen delights in ordering executions, although
everyone seems to get pardoned in the end. The people of Wonderland are
terrified of her. Although Alice initially thinks she is silly, she grows frightened of
her. In the end, however, a giant-size Alice is able to stand up to the Queen's
temper and her threats.
King of Hearts
Somewhat overshadowed by his loudmouthed wife, the King of Hearts is a
remarkably dense figure. He makes terrible jokes, and cannot seem to say
anything clever. Alice outreasons him quite nicely at the trial.
Gryphon
The Gryphon, mythical animal that is half eagle and half lion, takes Alice to sea
the Mock Turtle. He attended undersea school with the Mock Turtle.
The Mock Turtle
The Mock Turtle is always crying, and he and the Gryphon tells stories loaded with
puns. His name is another play on words (mock turtle soup is a soup that actually
uses lamb as its meat ingredient).
The Knave of Hearts
The unfortunate Knave is the man on trial, accused of stealing the tarts of the
Queen of Hearts. The evidence produced against him is unjust.
Alice's sister
She helps to anchor the story, appearing at the beginning, before Alice begins her
adventures, and at the end, after Alice wakes up from her strange dream. Her
presence lets us know that Alice is once again in the real world, in the comfort of
home and family.
Summary
While her older sister reads her a boring book outside, Alice notices
something odd: a White Rabbit checking a watch and fretting it will be late.
She sneaks away and follows him down a hole. She lands near a long hall
with a table and a key, opens a tiny door to a garden with it, drinks from a
bottle labeled "DRINK ME" and shrinks, then eats a cake marked "EAT
ME" to grow again and fetch the key she left on the table.
After eating the cake, Alice grows very tall and cries, creating a pool of
tears at her feet. The Rabbit reappears, muttering about keeping a
Duchess waiting. Frightened by the giant, crying Alice, the Rabbit runs
away, leaving behind his gloves and fan. Alice recites her lessons to
confirm she is herself, then fans herself, shrinks again, and tumbles into the
pool of tears. She speaks French to a Mouse, who leads her and other
animals out of the pool.
To help Alice and the animals dry off, the Mouse tells them a “dry story”
and the Dodo proposes a (political) caucus race. As prizes, Alice distributes
comfits (a type of candy) to the animals and she gets a thimble. The Mouse
tells another story, but annoyed by Alice's distraction, he leaves. As the
other animals lament his absence, Alice tells them about her cat Dinah, and
they all scatter in fear. Alice begins to cry and hears footsteps.
The Rabbit commands Alice to fetch his gloves and fan from his house.
There, she drinks from another bottle and grows bigger than the house.
The Rabbit and his servants try to enter it, but Alice keeps them away.
They throw cakes at her, and she eats one and shrinks again. She escapes
into a wood, plays with a puppy, and comes across a blue Caterpillar
smoking a hookah on top of a mushroom.
The Caterpillar asks Alice to recite a poem, corrects her, gets annoyed
when Alice criticizes its height, then leaves remarking that one side of the
mushroom enlarges and the other shrinks. Alice nibbles one side and
shrinks, then nibbles the other and her neck stretches above the treetops.
A Pigeon mistakes Alice for a serpent and attacks her. Alice once again
nibbles the mushroom and shrinks. She sees a small house and eats more
of the mushroom before approaching it.
Outside the house, a Fish delivers a letter inviting the Duchess to play
croquet with the Queen. Inside, Alice finds a Duchess nursing a baby (both
of them sneezing), a grinning Cat, and a Cook stirring highly peppered
soup. The Duchess sings a lullaby and hands Alice the baby, which turns
into a pig. The Cat suggests that Alice visit the Mad Hatter or the March
Hare, and it vanishes. At the Hare's house, Alice nibbles the mushroom to
grow again.
Alice argues with the Hare and the Hatter, who are having tea outside. She
fails to solve a riddle, listens to a Dormouse tell a story and annoys him
with her questions, and leaves after being insulted by the Hatter. She goes
through a door in a tree, finds herself back in the long hall, picks up the key
from the table, uses the mushroom to shrink, and goes through the tiny
door into the garden.
In the garden, Alice sees gardeners shaped like playing cards painting
white roses red. The Queen of Hearts discovers the gardeners planted the
wrong color flowers and orders their decapitation, but Alice saves them.
Alice plays croquet with the Queen, then starts talking to the Cheshire Cat.
The King gets annoyed and the Queen orders the Cat's decapitation, but it
vanishes before it can be harmed.
Alice walks with the Duchess, who explains the morals of various things.
The Queen narrows down the croquet game players to Alice, the King, and
herself, after sending the other players off for beheading. The Queen
introduces Alice to the Gryphon, who takes her to the Mock Turtle. The
sobbing Turtle explains he used to be a real turtle and tells Alice about his
education. When she asks a tricky question, the Gryphon changes the
subject.
The Turtle and the Gryphon describe the Lobster Quadrille to Alice and try
to demonstrate the dance while the Turtle sings a tune. They ask Alice to
recount her adventures and to recite a poem, but they criticize her
renditions. The Turtle sings another song. Then the Gryphon hears the cry
"The trial's beginning!" and he whisks Alice away.
In the courtroom, Alice finds the King and Queen on their thrones, the
Knave chained, and the jurors writing down everything they hear. The
Rabbit, as a herald, reads the accusation that the Knave stole the Queen's
tarts. Alices starts to grow again, and the Dormouse leaves her side and
falls asleep. The Hatter comes forth as the first witness and the Cook as
the second. Then Alice is called as the third.
Alice goes to the witness stand and, larger again, knocks the jury box,
claims to know nothing about the tarts, argues with the King about a rule,
reads a poem used as evidence, and challenges the court procedures. The
Queen calls for Alice's beheading, but she fights off the giant cards that
attack her. Alice wakes up and tells her adventures to her sister, who then
imagines Alice growing up and becoming a mother, and telling these
adventures to her own children.

Title of the book: my nam is asher lev
Author of the book: chaim potok
Themes: This book explores conflicting traditions (in this case the tradition of
Judaism and the tradition of art), father versus son, contentedness with one's life
versus peace in the family the Jewish value of "shalom bayit", the traditional
Jewish world versus secular America.
Where does the book take place: The book takes the reader through the first
segment of Asher's life, ending when he's around 22 years of age. During his
childhood, Asher is overwhelmed with his passion for drawing and painting so
much that he becomes apathetic towards
Characters:
Asher Lev
The protagonist and narrator of the book. The book traces Asher's development as a
person and an artist. He is immensely gifted as an artist and, when younger, not in
control of himself. He often seems detached from the world around him and generally
spaced out. As he grows older, Asher becomes more in touch with himself and learns to
channel his feelings into artwork. He is not a typical rebel in the sense that he does not
want to rebel. He is simply drawn very strongly to produce art. As he gets older, he
outgrows his teacher and becomes more reflective.
Aryeh Lev
Asher's father. A well respected, highly intelligent man. He is incredibly driven to work
hard for the cause in which he believes. He has a strong sense of morality and is deeply
committed to his religion. His son's misbehavior deeply disturbs and hurts him. Though
he works with high-ranking government officials, he has a hard time relating to those,
like Asher, whose value systems are different from his own.
Rivkeh Lev
Asher's mother. She is kind and supportive. Deeply disturbed by the death of her
brother, she worries a lot and is, in some ways, a stereotypical "Jewish mother." She is
intelligent, loving, and caring; she cares deeply for the two men in her life—Asher and
Aryeh—and is troubled by their inability to get along.
Jacob Kahn
An old and famous artist. When younger, he abandoned the religion with which he grew
up, in order to pursue his artwork. He is fully and completely an artist. He is
temperamental, and he feels no moral attachments to anything but art and sees a great
purpose in producing art and artists. He is blunt, though generally for a didactic
purpose.
Uncle Yitzchok
Asher's uncle with whom he lives while his parents are in Europe. A wealthy, kind man,
who has no distinct personality. He appreciates his nephew's talent in his manner as a
layman.
Yudel Krinsky
A Ladover man, whom Aryeh Lev helped bring to America from Russia. He seems
somewhat withdrawn, affected by years of internment in Siberia. He is patient with
Asher, encouraging of his talent, and more tolerant than most in the community.
Mashpia
The man at Asher's school who is in charge of the spiritual development of the students.
He is kind and committed to his community. He expresses concern for the well-being of
his students and is genuinely interested in their personal development.
Uncle Yaakov
Lev's uncle, who dies when Lev is six years old. His death causes Lev's mother to
become ill. He is often referenced by Lev's mother, who seems to carry on a
relationship with her memories of him. He often seems to serve as an inspiration for
Lev's mother.
Sheindl Rackover
The woman who helps out around the Lev household when Lev's mother is ill. She is
often reprimanding Lev for not acting like the Ladover version of a "good" boy. Lev often
seems to find his interactions with her annoying and frustrating.
Anna Schaeffer
An international socialite and gallery owner. She is interested in art and artists and even
more interested in using them to make money.
Summary
Asher Lev is a child with an extraordinary gift for painting. His father, Aryeh,
is an emissary for the Rebbe, the leader of the Ladover Hasidic community.
When he is younger, his uncle, His mother Rivkeh's brother, dies and it
destroys her. Asher's mother becomes ill. She stays at home sick for a
while after being released from the hospital. At this time, Asher spends
much time with his father at his office and becomes entranced by the work
his father is doing in Russia. Furthering Asher's fascination with Russia is
recent immigrant, Yudel Krinsky, whom Aryeh helped bring to the US and
whom Asher befriends. As Rivkeh's health improves, she decides that she
wants to go to college. Aryeh asks the Rebbe for permission, which he
grants.
Asher's early summers are spent in a bungalow colony. There, he has
opportunity to grow closer with his mother. Aryeh's work with Russia
intensifies. The entire community, Asher included seems obsessed with the
Russians and their persecution of Jews. Asher begins visiting with Krinsky
more and often returns home late, causing his mother great worry.
The Rebbe asks Asher's father to move to Vienna in order to better perform his
work. Asher does not want to move to Vienna and makes this known to his
parents, his uncle, and Krinsky. Asher begins drawing again. Asher's parents and
teachers are concerned about him. Asher asks if he can live with his uncle. Asher's
father begins to worry about his son's drawing. Asher draws a menacing looking
picture of the Rebbe in his Chumash one day in class. The Mashpia calls him in to
talk to him about how he is doing. Asher breaks down and expresses how
distraught he is over the prospect of moving to Vienna. The Rebbe decides that
Asher cannot be brought to Vienna. Aryeh moves to Vienna alone.
Rivkeh and Asher adjust to life at home together. His interest in art intensifies and
she buys him oil paints. Asher begins to neglect his studies, rousing the concern
and ire of his teachers and his father. Asher seems unfazed by the criticism
heaped on him. His mother takes him to the museum and explains the paintings
of crucifixions to him. Asher begins to sketch crucifixions and nudes. These arouse
the ire of Aryeh, who discovers them when he returns home for Passover. When
Aryeh leaves to go back to Europe, Asher resolves to improve his scholastic
performance. The next summer, Rivkeh joins Aryeh in Europe and Asher stays
with his Uncle Yitzchok.
Asher has a meeting with the Rebbe before his Bar Mitzvah. Jacob Kahn, a
prominent artist, has been called to the Rebbe's office and introduces himself to
Asher as Asher is leaving. The Rebbe has decided that Asher shall study art with
Kahn. Kahn gives Asher an assignment and tells him to call him in two months.
Asher calls Kahn and arranges to go to his studio for the first time. At this first
meeting, Kahn introduces Asher to gallery owner Anna Schaeffer. He also berates
Asher and tries to scare him out of becoming an artist. Asher is not deterred.
Kahn takes Asher to see paintings of crucifixions. He brings a woman into the
studio to model so Asher can paint nudes.
Asher's mother begins contemplating a move to Vienna. Asher, however, refuses
to go along. Rivkeh finally decides to move to Vienna without him, so that she can
be with her husband. Asher meets with the Rebbe to discuss this move and his
developing artistic talent. Around this time, Asher learns that he will one day have
his own show. Asher moves in with his Uncle Yitzchok.
Asher spends the summer with Jacob Kahn at his beach house in Provincetown. It
is a joyous summer dedicated to painting. Asher maintains his religious
observance while there. Toward the end, Jacob Kahn withdraws for a few days, in
an awful mood.
Asher begins high school, but continues studying with Kahn on weekends. Kahn
has a show opening that fall. Asher's uncle renovates the attic to give Asher more
space to paint. Asher and Jacob begin to travel to some exhibitions together.
Asher's parents return for Passover, and Asher and Aryeh fight. Asher's family
pressures him to try moving to Vienna. He goes, gets sick, and comes back. He has
his first art show and it is a moderate success. Asher is now in college. His parents
return home after years in Europe.
It is awkward living with his parents again. Asher's parents are unhappy when he
includes nudes in his next show. Asher tries to explain art to his father, but it is a
miserable failure and they get frustrated with each other. Asher begins to plan a
trip to Europe.
Asher goes to Florence and is enthralled by the artwork. He is particularly taken
with Michelangelo's Pietà. He moves on to Rome and then Paris. He begins to
experiment with alterations in the Pietà, alterations in the artistic form of the
crucifix. He decides to move to Paris temporarily, gets an apartment, and sets up
a studio.
In Paris he has time to reflect on his past, on his upbringing, on his community,
and on his family. He realizes the pain his mother went through during his
upbringing. He wants to express this in art—the only symbol he has at his disposal
is the crucifixion. He makes two paintings of his mother that employ the crucifix.
At a major show in New York, Asher displays these paintings. His parents are
horrified by the paintings, as is the general Ladover community. Asher has crossed
a line. His parents become cold toward him as do all the Ladover who one
supported him. The Rebbe calls Asher into his office and asks him to leave the
community. Banished, Asher moves back to Paris.

Title of the book: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Author of the book: Roald Dahl
Theme: Generosity, Love, Compassion, and putting others first are
themes, NOT chocolate.
Where does the book take place: in a small wooden house on the edge
of a great town.
The explanacion: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, children’s book by
Roald Dahl, first published in 1964. It was perhaps the most popular of his
irreverent, darkly comic novels written for young people and tells the story
of a destitute young boy who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious
and magical chocolate factory of Willy Wonka.
Characters:
Mr. Willy Wonka
The eccentric owner of the Wonka chocolate factory. Mr.Wonka is the
most renowned candy maker in the world and an endless
combination of opposing parts. He is old but filled with a boundless
energy. He is physically small, but his persona is larger than life. He
is also both charming and insensitive. His decision to open his factory
to five lucky children is actually a calculated ploy to find the perfect
child to take over his factory. He is looking for a properly obsequious
child to whom he can teach all the secrets of his factory. Charlie
Bucket is that boy.
Charlie Bucket
The protagonist of the novel. Charlie is unassuming and respectful
toward everyone in his life. He is undernourished but refuses to ever
take an extra portion of food because it would deprive another
member of his family. He must walk by Mr. Wonka’s factory every day
on his way to school and smell the tantalizing smell of chocolate as
his stomach grumbles. He is almost always cold because he does not
have an adequate jacket. Even though he has every reason to
complain, he never does. Charlie is exactly the kind of child that Mr.
Wonka wants.
Grandpa Joe
Charlie’s paternal grandfather. Grandpa Joe spends all his time in
bed with the other three Bucket grandparents. He is extremely
imaginative and fun loving. He realizes a return of his childish energy
when Charlie finds the golden ticket. He thinks Mr. Wonka’s idea to
send out golden tickets is a marketing stroke of genius, and he
continues to think Mr. Wonka is brilliant while the other parents think
he is mad. Grandpa Joe is kind and loving and also sensible. He is
Charlie’s greatest friend and confidant.
Augustus Gloop
A fat boy who loves nothing but eating. Augustus is rude and
insubordinate in his never-ending quest to fill his own face. His
parents choose to indulge him rather than listen to his whining. He
suffers for his greed in the factory: while sucking from the chocolate
river, he falls in and is sucked up by one of the super pipes. He
comes out changed on the other side, as evidenced by his new thin
body.
Veruca Salt
A spoiled brat. Veruca demands anything she wants and throws
tantrums until her parents meet her demands. She is mean and
completely self-involved, and her parents always acquiesce to her
wishes. Veruca’s impetuousness causes her trouble at the factory.
She demands to own one of Wonka’s trained squirrels, but when she
marches in to claim it, it deems her a “bad nut” and sends her down
the garbage chute. Mingled with garbage, she comes out changed at
the end of the story.
Violet Beauregarde
An avid gum chewer. Violet’s attempt to beat a gum-chewing record
completely consumes her. At the factory her gum-chewing antics
become her downfall when she grabs an experimental piece of gum
against Mr. Wonka’s advice. She eagerly chews the gum and turns
into a giant blueberry. After being juiced by Oompa-Loompas, she
leaves the factory changed.
Mike Teavee
A boy who cares only for television. The more guns and violence on a
show, the more Mike likes it. Mike is slightly more complex than the
other bad children in that he is smart enough to realize when Mr.
Wonka is lying to him. Still, his attempts to get answers to his
questions go completely unheeded. At the factory he wants nothing
more than to check out the chocolate television room. Once there he
spies the opportunity to be on television himself. Without regard for
his own safety, he engineers a filming of himself and ends up
shrinking down to a couple of inches. The Oompa-Loompas stretch
him out to twice his normal height in the end.
Summary
Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has
decided to open the doors of his factory to five lucky children and their parents. In order
to choose who will enter the factory, Mr. Wonka devises a plan to hide five golden
tickets beneath the wrappers of his famous chocolate bars. The search for the five
golden tickets is fast and furious. Augustus Gloop, a corpulent child whose only hobby
is eating, unwraps the first ticket, for which his town throws him a parade. Veruca Salt,
an insufferable brat, receives the next ticket from her father, who had employed his
entire factory of peanut shellers to unwrap chocolate bars until they found a ticket. Violet
Beauregarde discovers the third ticket while taking a break from setting a world record
in gum chewing. The fourth ticket goes to Mike Teavee, who, as his name implies, cares
only about television.
Charlie Bucket, the unsuspecting hero of the book, defies all odds in claiming the fifth
and final ticket. A poor but virtuous boy, Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, and all four of his grandparents. His grandparents share the only
bed in the house, located in the only bedroom, and Charlie and his parents sleep on
mattresses on the floor. Charlie gets three sparse meals a day, which is hardly enough
to nourish a growing boy, As a result, he is almost sickly thin. Once a year, on his
birthday, Charlie gets one bar of Wonka chocolate, which he savors over many months.
The Bucket family’s circumstances become all the more dire when Mr. Bucket loses his
job. But a tremendous stroke of luck befalls Charlie when he spots a raggedy dollar bill
buried in the snow. He decides to use a little of the money to buy himself some
chocolate before turning the rest over to his mother. After inhaling the first bar of
chocolate, Charlie decides to buy just one more and within the wrapping finds the fifth
golden ticket. He is not a moment too soon: the next day is the date Mr. Wonka has set
for his guests to enter the factory.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bucket can accompany Charlie to the factory. Mr. Bucket must
search for work to put food on the table and Mrs. Bucket must care for the invalided
grandparents. Magically, Charlie’s oldest and most beloved grandparent, Grandpa Joe,
springs out of bed for the first time in decades. Charlie’s lucky find has transformed him
into an energetic and almost childlike being. Grandpa Joe and Charlie set out on their
adventure.
In the factory, Charlie and Grandpa Joe marvel at the unbelievable sights, sounds, and
especially smells of the factory. Whereas they are grateful toward and respectful of Mr.
Wonka and his factory, the other four children succumb to their own character flaws.
Accordingly, they are ejected from the factory in mysterious and painful fashions.
Augustus Gloop falls into the hot chocolate river—while attempting to drink it—and is
sucked up by one of the many pipes. Veruca Salt is determined to be a “bad nut” by nut-
judging squirrels who throw her out with the trash. Violet Beauregarde impetuously
grabs an experimental piece of gum and chews herself into a giant blueberry. She is
consequently removed from the factory. With the hope of being on his beloved
television, Mike Teavee shrinks himself, and his father has to carry him out in his breast
pocket. During each child’s fiasco, Mr. Wonka alienates the parents with his nonchalant
reaction to the child’s seeming demise. He remains steadfast in his belief that
everything will work out in the end.
After each child’s trial, the Oompa-Loompas beat drums and sing a moralizing song
about the downfalls of greedy, spoiled children. When only Charlie remains, Willy
Wonka turns to him and congratulates him for winning. The entire day has been another
contest, the prize for which is the entire chocolate factory, which Charlie has just won.
Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mr. Wonka enter the great glass elevator, which explodes
through the roof of the factory and crashes down through the roof of Charlie’s house,
where they collect the rest of the Bucket family.

  • 1. BOOK REPORT English Name: Alicia Delgado Trade : Engels Teacher: M. Liekwie Klas: 4B date: 12 december 2022 school: C.G. Abraham de Veerschool
  • 2. Table of contents Book 1:  Title: Author: Page: Book 2:  Title: Author: Page: Book 3:  Title: Author: Page: Presentation:
  • 3. Published by: Macmillan Date of publication: November 1865 Number of pages: 159 Title of the book: Alice in the wonderland Author of the book: Lewis Carroll Theme: philosophical, and scientific Where does the book take place: Alice in Wonderland is set in two places. It begins in Victorian England. When Alice follows the White Rabbit down his hole The explanacion: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland represents the child’s struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults. To understand our adult world, Alice has to overcome the open-mindedness that is characteristic for children. Apparently, adults need rules to live by. Opinion: The book is brilliant for children, but with enough hilarity and joy for life in it to please adults too, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a lovely book with which to take a brief respite from our overly rational. Characters: Alice The heroine of the story. Her adventures begin with her fateful jump down the rabbit hole, and the tale is an extended metaphor for the challenges she will face as she grows into an adult. She possesses unusual composure for a child, and she seems bright but makes many charming mistakes. She grows more confident as the book progresses.
  • 4. White Rabbit Alice's adventures begin when she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit-hole. He is a messenger and a herald at the Court of the King and Queen of Hearts. He wears a waist-coat and carries a pocket watch. Mouse Alice meets the mouse while swimming in the pool of tears. He hates cats and dogs, and he begins to tell Alice a disturbing story about being put on trial. He is very sensitive. Bill A lizard in the service of the White Rabbit. When Alice is a giant and stuck in the White Rabbit's house, she kicks Bill out of the chimney. Bill is also one of the jurors at the trial at the end of the book. Caterpillar Wise, enigmatic, and unshakably mellow, the Caterpillar gives Alice some valuable advice about how to get by in Wonderland. He smokes a hookah and sits on a mushroom. He gives Alice the valuable gift of the mushroom (one side making her bigger, and the other making her small), which gives her control of her size in Wonderland. The Pigeon The Pigeon is afraid for her eggs, and mistakes Alice for a serpent. Alice tries to reason with her, but the Pigeon forces her away. Duchess When Alice first meets the Duchess, she is a disagreeable woman nursing a baby and arguing with her cook. Later, she is put under sentence of execution. The Duchess seems different when Alice meets her a second time, later in the book, and Alice notices that the Duchess speaks only in pat morals. Cook Argumentative, and convinced that pepper is the key ingredient in all food. She first appears at the house of the Duchess, where she is throwing everything in sight at the Duchess and the baby. Later, she is a witness at the trial of the Knave of Hearts. Baby The baby the Duchess nurses. Alice is concerned about leaving the child in such a violent environment, so she takes him with her. He turns into a pig.
  • 5. Cheshire Cat Possessing remarkably sharp claws and alarming sharp teeth, the Cheshire cat is courteous and helpful, despite his frightening appearance. His face is fixed in an eerie grin. He can make any and all parts of his body disappear and reappear. Hatter A madman who sits always at tea, every since Time stopped working for him. He takes his tea with the March Hare and the Dormouse. Alice is temporarily their guest, although she finds the event to be the stupidest tea party she has ever attended. Later, the nervous hatter is forced to be a witness at the trial. March Hare Playing with the expression, "Mad as a March Hare," Carroll puts him in the company of the mad Hatter and the narcoleptic Dormouse. Their strange tea party is at the March Hare's house. The Dormouse Another guest at the mad tea party. He can't seem to stay awake. He is also one of the observers at the trial. Two, Five, and Seven These three unfortunate gardeners are struggling to repaint the Queen's roses, as they planted white roses by mistake and now fear for their lives. Like the other people working for the queen, they are shaped like playing cards. When the Queen orders their beheading, Alice hides them. Queen of Hearts Nasty, brutal, and loud, the Queen delights in ordering executions, although everyone seems to get pardoned in the end. The people of Wonderland are terrified of her. Although Alice initially thinks she is silly, she grows frightened of her. In the end, however, a giant-size Alice is able to stand up to the Queen's temper and her threats. King of Hearts Somewhat overshadowed by his loudmouthed wife, the King of Hearts is a remarkably dense figure. He makes terrible jokes, and cannot seem to say anything clever. Alice outreasons him quite nicely at the trial. Gryphon The Gryphon, mythical animal that is half eagle and half lion, takes Alice to sea the Mock Turtle. He attended undersea school with the Mock Turtle. The Mock Turtle
  • 6. The Mock Turtle is always crying, and he and the Gryphon tells stories loaded with puns. His name is another play on words (mock turtle soup is a soup that actually uses lamb as its meat ingredient). The Knave of Hearts The unfortunate Knave is the man on trial, accused of stealing the tarts of the Queen of Hearts. The evidence produced against him is unjust. Alice's sister She helps to anchor the story, appearing at the beginning, before Alice begins her adventures, and at the end, after Alice wakes up from her strange dream. Her presence lets us know that Alice is once again in the real world, in the comfort of home and family. Summary While her older sister reads her a boring book outside, Alice notices something odd: a White Rabbit checking a watch and fretting it will be late. She sneaks away and follows him down a hole. She lands near a long hall with a table and a key, opens a tiny door to a garden with it, drinks from a bottle labeled "DRINK ME" and shrinks, then eats a cake marked "EAT ME" to grow again and fetch the key she left on the table. After eating the cake, Alice grows very tall and cries, creating a pool of tears at her feet. The Rabbit reappears, muttering about keeping a Duchess waiting. Frightened by the giant, crying Alice, the Rabbit runs away, leaving behind his gloves and fan. Alice recites her lessons to confirm she is herself, then fans herself, shrinks again, and tumbles into the pool of tears. She speaks French to a Mouse, who leads her and other animals out of the pool. To help Alice and the animals dry off, the Mouse tells them a “dry story” and the Dodo proposes a (political) caucus race. As prizes, Alice distributes comfits (a type of candy) to the animals and she gets a thimble. The Mouse tells another story, but annoyed by Alice's distraction, he leaves. As the other animals lament his absence, Alice tells them about her cat Dinah, and they all scatter in fear. Alice begins to cry and hears footsteps. The Rabbit commands Alice to fetch his gloves and fan from his house. There, she drinks from another bottle and grows bigger than the house.
  • 7. The Rabbit and his servants try to enter it, but Alice keeps them away. They throw cakes at her, and she eats one and shrinks again. She escapes into a wood, plays with a puppy, and comes across a blue Caterpillar smoking a hookah on top of a mushroom. The Caterpillar asks Alice to recite a poem, corrects her, gets annoyed when Alice criticizes its height, then leaves remarking that one side of the mushroom enlarges and the other shrinks. Alice nibbles one side and shrinks, then nibbles the other and her neck stretches above the treetops. A Pigeon mistakes Alice for a serpent and attacks her. Alice once again nibbles the mushroom and shrinks. She sees a small house and eats more of the mushroom before approaching it. Outside the house, a Fish delivers a letter inviting the Duchess to play croquet with the Queen. Inside, Alice finds a Duchess nursing a baby (both of them sneezing), a grinning Cat, and a Cook stirring highly peppered soup. The Duchess sings a lullaby and hands Alice the baby, which turns into a pig. The Cat suggests that Alice visit the Mad Hatter or the March Hare, and it vanishes. At the Hare's house, Alice nibbles the mushroom to grow again. Alice argues with the Hare and the Hatter, who are having tea outside. She fails to solve a riddle, listens to a Dormouse tell a story and annoys him with her questions, and leaves after being insulted by the Hatter. She goes through a door in a tree, finds herself back in the long hall, picks up the key from the table, uses the mushroom to shrink, and goes through the tiny door into the garden. In the garden, Alice sees gardeners shaped like playing cards painting white roses red. The Queen of Hearts discovers the gardeners planted the wrong color flowers and orders their decapitation, but Alice saves them. Alice plays croquet with the Queen, then starts talking to the Cheshire Cat. The King gets annoyed and the Queen orders the Cat's decapitation, but it vanishes before it can be harmed. Alice walks with the Duchess, who explains the morals of various things. The Queen narrows down the croquet game players to Alice, the King, and herself, after sending the other players off for beheading. The Queen introduces Alice to the Gryphon, who takes her to the Mock Turtle. The sobbing Turtle explains he used to be a real turtle and tells Alice about his education. When she asks a tricky question, the Gryphon changes the subject. The Turtle and the Gryphon describe the Lobster Quadrille to Alice and try to demonstrate the dance while the Turtle sings a tune. They ask Alice to recount her adventures and to recite a poem, but they criticize her
  • 8. renditions. The Turtle sings another song. Then the Gryphon hears the cry "The trial's beginning!" and he whisks Alice away. In the courtroom, Alice finds the King and Queen on their thrones, the Knave chained, and the jurors writing down everything they hear. The Rabbit, as a herald, reads the accusation that the Knave stole the Queen's tarts. Alices starts to grow again, and the Dormouse leaves her side and falls asleep. The Hatter comes forth as the first witness and the Cook as the second. Then Alice is called as the third. Alice goes to the witness stand and, larger again, knocks the jury box, claims to know nothing about the tarts, argues with the King about a rule, reads a poem used as evidence, and challenges the court procedures. The Queen calls for Alice's beheading, but she fights off the giant cards that attack her. Alice wakes up and tells her adventures to her sister, who then imagines Alice growing up and becoming a mother, and telling these adventures to her own children.
  • 9. Published by: Knopf Date of publication: March 12, 1972 Number of pages: 369 Title of the book: my nam is asher lev Author of the book: chaim potok Themes: This book explores conflicting traditions (in this case the tradition of Judaism and the tradition of art), father versus son, contentedness with one's life versus peace in the family the Jewish value of "shalom bayit", the traditional Jewish world versus secular America. Where does the book take place: The book takes the reader through the first segment of Asher's life, ending when he's around 22 years of age. During his childhood, Asher is overwhelmed with his passion for drawing and painting so much that he becomes apathetic towards Characters: Asher Lev The protagonist and narrator of the book. The book traces Asher's development as a person and an artist. He is immensely gifted as an artist and, when younger, not in control of himself. He often seems detached from the world around him and generally spaced out. As he grows older, Asher becomes more in touch with himself and learns to channel his feelings into artwork. He is not a typical rebel in the sense that he does not want to rebel. He is simply drawn very strongly to produce art. As he gets older, he outgrows his teacher and becomes more reflective. Aryeh Lev Asher's father. A well respected, highly intelligent man. He is incredibly driven to work hard for the cause in which he believes. He has a strong sense of morality and is deeply committed to his religion. His son's misbehavior deeply disturbs and hurts him. Though he works with high-ranking government officials, he has a hard time relating to those, like Asher, whose value systems are different from his own.
  • 10. Rivkeh Lev Asher's mother. She is kind and supportive. Deeply disturbed by the death of her brother, she worries a lot and is, in some ways, a stereotypical "Jewish mother." She is intelligent, loving, and caring; she cares deeply for the two men in her life—Asher and Aryeh—and is troubled by their inability to get along. Jacob Kahn An old and famous artist. When younger, he abandoned the religion with which he grew up, in order to pursue his artwork. He is fully and completely an artist. He is temperamental, and he feels no moral attachments to anything but art and sees a great purpose in producing art and artists. He is blunt, though generally for a didactic purpose. Uncle Yitzchok Asher's uncle with whom he lives while his parents are in Europe. A wealthy, kind man, who has no distinct personality. He appreciates his nephew's talent in his manner as a layman. Yudel Krinsky A Ladover man, whom Aryeh Lev helped bring to America from Russia. He seems somewhat withdrawn, affected by years of internment in Siberia. He is patient with Asher, encouraging of his talent, and more tolerant than most in the community. Mashpia The man at Asher's school who is in charge of the spiritual development of the students. He is kind and committed to his community. He expresses concern for the well-being of his students and is genuinely interested in their personal development. Uncle Yaakov Lev's uncle, who dies when Lev is six years old. His death causes Lev's mother to become ill. He is often referenced by Lev's mother, who seems to carry on a relationship with her memories of him. He often seems to serve as an inspiration for Lev's mother. Sheindl Rackover The woman who helps out around the Lev household when Lev's mother is ill. She is often reprimanding Lev for not acting like the Ladover version of a "good" boy. Lev often seems to find his interactions with her annoying and frustrating. Anna Schaeffer An international socialite and gallery owner. She is interested in art and artists and even more interested in using them to make money.
  • 11. Summary Asher Lev is a child with an extraordinary gift for painting. His father, Aryeh, is an emissary for the Rebbe, the leader of the Ladover Hasidic community. When he is younger, his uncle, His mother Rivkeh's brother, dies and it destroys her. Asher's mother becomes ill. She stays at home sick for a while after being released from the hospital. At this time, Asher spends much time with his father at his office and becomes entranced by the work his father is doing in Russia. Furthering Asher's fascination with Russia is recent immigrant, Yudel Krinsky, whom Aryeh helped bring to the US and whom Asher befriends. As Rivkeh's health improves, she decides that she wants to go to college. Aryeh asks the Rebbe for permission, which he grants. Asher's early summers are spent in a bungalow colony. There, he has opportunity to grow closer with his mother. Aryeh's work with Russia intensifies. The entire community, Asher included seems obsessed with the Russians and their persecution of Jews. Asher begins visiting with Krinsky more and often returns home late, causing his mother great worry. The Rebbe asks Asher's father to move to Vienna in order to better perform his work. Asher does not want to move to Vienna and makes this known to his parents, his uncle, and Krinsky. Asher begins drawing again. Asher's parents and teachers are concerned about him. Asher asks if he can live with his uncle. Asher's father begins to worry about his son's drawing. Asher draws a menacing looking picture of the Rebbe in his Chumash one day in class. The Mashpia calls him in to talk to him about how he is doing. Asher breaks down and expresses how distraught he is over the prospect of moving to Vienna. The Rebbe decides that Asher cannot be brought to Vienna. Aryeh moves to Vienna alone. Rivkeh and Asher adjust to life at home together. His interest in art intensifies and she buys him oil paints. Asher begins to neglect his studies, rousing the concern and ire of his teachers and his father. Asher seems unfazed by the criticism heaped on him. His mother takes him to the museum and explains the paintings of crucifixions to him. Asher begins to sketch crucifixions and nudes. These arouse the ire of Aryeh, who discovers them when he returns home for Passover. When Aryeh leaves to go back to Europe, Asher resolves to improve his scholastic
  • 12. performance. The next summer, Rivkeh joins Aryeh in Europe and Asher stays with his Uncle Yitzchok. Asher has a meeting with the Rebbe before his Bar Mitzvah. Jacob Kahn, a prominent artist, has been called to the Rebbe's office and introduces himself to Asher as Asher is leaving. The Rebbe has decided that Asher shall study art with Kahn. Kahn gives Asher an assignment and tells him to call him in two months. Asher calls Kahn and arranges to go to his studio for the first time. At this first meeting, Kahn introduces Asher to gallery owner Anna Schaeffer. He also berates Asher and tries to scare him out of becoming an artist. Asher is not deterred. Kahn takes Asher to see paintings of crucifixions. He brings a woman into the studio to model so Asher can paint nudes. Asher's mother begins contemplating a move to Vienna. Asher, however, refuses to go along. Rivkeh finally decides to move to Vienna without him, so that she can be with her husband. Asher meets with the Rebbe to discuss this move and his developing artistic talent. Around this time, Asher learns that he will one day have his own show. Asher moves in with his Uncle Yitzchok. Asher spends the summer with Jacob Kahn at his beach house in Provincetown. It is a joyous summer dedicated to painting. Asher maintains his religious observance while there. Toward the end, Jacob Kahn withdraws for a few days, in an awful mood. Asher begins high school, but continues studying with Kahn on weekends. Kahn has a show opening that fall. Asher's uncle renovates the attic to give Asher more space to paint. Asher and Jacob begin to travel to some exhibitions together. Asher's parents return for Passover, and Asher and Aryeh fight. Asher's family pressures him to try moving to Vienna. He goes, gets sick, and comes back. He has his first art show and it is a moderate success. Asher is now in college. His parents return home after years in Europe. It is awkward living with his parents again. Asher's parents are unhappy when he includes nudes in his next show. Asher tries to explain art to his father, but it is a miserable failure and they get frustrated with each other. Asher begins to plan a trip to Europe. Asher goes to Florence and is enthralled by the artwork. He is particularly taken with Michelangelo's Pietà. He moves on to Rome and then Paris. He begins to experiment with alterations in the Pietà, alterations in the artistic form of the
  • 13. crucifix. He decides to move to Paris temporarily, gets an apartment, and sets up a studio. In Paris he has time to reflect on his past, on his upbringing, on his community, and on his family. He realizes the pain his mother went through during his upbringing. He wants to express this in art—the only symbol he has at his disposal is the crucifixion. He makes two paintings of his mother that employ the crucifix. At a major show in New York, Asher displays these paintings. His parents are horrified by the paintings, as is the general Ladover community. Asher has crossed a line. His parents become cold toward him as do all the Ladover who one supported him. The Rebbe calls Asher into his office and asks him to leave the community. Banished, Asher moves back to Paris.
  • 14. Published by: George Allen & Unwin Date of publication: January 17, 1964 Number of pages: 180 Title of the book: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Author of the book: Roald Dahl Theme: Generosity, Love, Compassion, and putting others first are themes, NOT chocolate. Where does the book take place: in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town. The explanacion: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, children’s book by Roald Dahl, first published in 1964. It was perhaps the most popular of his irreverent, darkly comic novels written for young people and tells the story of a destitute young boy who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious and magical chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. Characters: Mr. Willy Wonka The eccentric owner of the Wonka chocolate factory. Mr.Wonka is the most renowned candy maker in the world and an endless combination of opposing parts. He is old but filled with a boundless energy. He is physically small, but his persona is larger than life. He is also both charming and insensitive. His decision to open his factory to five lucky children is actually a calculated ploy to find the perfect child to take over his factory. He is looking for a properly obsequious child to whom he can teach all the secrets of his factory. Charlie Bucket is that boy. Charlie Bucket The protagonist of the novel. Charlie is unassuming and respectful toward everyone in his life. He is undernourished but refuses to ever
  • 15. take an extra portion of food because it would deprive another member of his family. He must walk by Mr. Wonka’s factory every day on his way to school and smell the tantalizing smell of chocolate as his stomach grumbles. He is almost always cold because he does not have an adequate jacket. Even though he has every reason to complain, he never does. Charlie is exactly the kind of child that Mr. Wonka wants. Grandpa Joe Charlie’s paternal grandfather. Grandpa Joe spends all his time in bed with the other three Bucket grandparents. He is extremely imaginative and fun loving. He realizes a return of his childish energy when Charlie finds the golden ticket. He thinks Mr. Wonka’s idea to send out golden tickets is a marketing stroke of genius, and he continues to think Mr. Wonka is brilliant while the other parents think he is mad. Grandpa Joe is kind and loving and also sensible. He is Charlie’s greatest friend and confidant. Augustus Gloop A fat boy who loves nothing but eating. Augustus is rude and insubordinate in his never-ending quest to fill his own face. His parents choose to indulge him rather than listen to his whining. He suffers for his greed in the factory: while sucking from the chocolate river, he falls in and is sucked up by one of the super pipes.

  • 16. An avid gum chewer. Violet’s attempt to beat a gum-chewing record completely consumes her. At the factory her gum-chewing antics become her downfall when she grabs an experimental piece of gum against Mr. Wonka’s advice. She eagerly chews the gum and turns into a giant blueberry. After being juiced by Oompa-Loompas, she leaves the factory changed. Mike Teavee A boy who cares only for television. The more guns and violence on a show, the more Mike likes it. Mike is slightly more complex than the other bad children in that he is smart enough to realize when Mr. Wonka is lying to him. Still, his attempts to get answers to his questions go completely unheeded. At the factory he wants nothing more than to check out the chocolate television room. Once there he spies the opportunity to be on television himself. Without regard for his own safety, he engineers a filming of himself and ends up shrinking down to a couple of inches. The Oompa-Loompas stretch him out to twice his normal height in the end. Summary Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has decided to open the doors of his factory to five lucky children and their parents. In order to choose who will enter the factory, Mr. Wonka devises a plan to hide five golden tickets beneath the wrappers of his famous chocolate bars. The search for the five golden tickets is fast and furious. Augustus Gloop, a corpulent child whose only hobby is eating, unwraps the first ticket, for which his town throws him a parade. Veruca Salt, an insufferable brat, receives the next ticket from her father, who had employed his entire factory of peanut shellers to unwrap chocolate bars until they found a ticket. Violet Beauregarde discovers the third ticket while taking a break from setting a world record in gum chewing. The fourth ticket goes to Mike Teavee, who, as his name implies, cares only about television. Charlie Bucket, the unsuspecting hero of the book, defies all odds in claiming the fifth and final ticket. A poor but virtuous boy, Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, and all four of his grandparents. His grandparents share the only bed in the house, located in the only bedroom, and Charlie and his parents sleep on mattresses on the floor. Charlie gets three sparse meals a day, which is hardly enough
  • 17. to nourish a growing boy, As a result, he is almost sickly thin. Once a year, on his birthday, Charlie gets one bar of Wonka chocolate, which he savors over many months. The Bucket family’s circumstances become all the more dire when Mr. Bucket loses his job. But a tremendous stroke of luck befalls Charlie when he spots a raggedy dollar bill buried in the snow. He decides to use a little of the money to buy himself some chocolate before turning the rest over to his mother. After inhaling the first bar of chocolate, Charlie decides to buy just one more and within the wrapping finds the fifth golden ticket. He is not a moment too soon: the next day is the date Mr. Wonka has set for his guests to enter the factory. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bucket can accompany Charlie to the factory. Mr. Bucket must search for work to put food on the table and Mrs. Bucket must care for the invalided grandparents. Magically, Charlie’s oldest and most beloved grandparent, Grandpa Joe, springs out of bed for the first time in decades. Charlie’s lucky find has transformed him into an energetic and almost childlike being. Grandpa Joe and Charlie set out on their adventure. In the factory, Charlie and Grandpa Joe marvel at the unbelievable sights, sounds, and especially smells of the factory. Whereas they are grateful toward and respectful of Mr. Wonka and his factory, the other four children succumb to their own character flaws. Accordingly, they are ejected from the factory in mysterious and painful fashions. Augustus Gloop falls into the hot chocolate river—while attempting to drink it—and is sucked up by one of the many pipes. Veruca Salt is determined to be a “bad nut” by nut- judging squirrels who throw her out with the trash. Violet Beauregarde impetuously grabs an experimental piece of gum and chews herself into a giant blueberry. She is consequently removed from the factory. With the hope of being on his beloved television, Mike Teavee shrinks himself, and his father has to carry him out in his breast pocket. During each child’s fiasco, Mr. Wonka alienates the parents with his nonchalant reaction to the child’s seeming demise. He remains steadfast in his belief that everything will work out in the end. After each child’s trial, the Oompa-Loompas beat drums and sing a moralizing song about the downfalls of greedy, spoiled children. When only Charlie remains, Willy Wonka turns to him and congratulates him for winning. The entire day has been another contest, the prize for which is the entire chocolate factory, which Charlie has just won. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mr. Wonka enter the great glass elevator, which explodes through the roof of the factory and crashes down through the roof of Charlie’s house, where they collect the rest of the Bucket family.
