2. CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
CHAPTER 6 :
THE FIRST TWO FINDERS
SUMMARY

3. Summary
◦The day after the Golden
Ticket contest is announced,
a nine-year-old boy named
Augustus Gloop finds a
ticket. Augustus is a
terrifically obese boy who
eats so many candy bars that
it would have been strange
for him not to come across
one with a Golden Ticket
inside.

4. Summary
◦Once the first Golden Ticket
has been found, the world
goes into a buying frenzy.
Children take hammers to
their piggy banks; gangsters
rob banks to get the cash for
more candy bars. A
professor even invents a
machine that can detect and
grab anything in the vicinity
that's made of gold.

5. Summary
◦On the day before Charlie's
birthday, the second Golden
Ticket is found. This time, the
finder is a rich girl named
Veruca Salt, whose doting
father buys thousands of
candy bars and has his
workers unwrap them until a
ticket turns up.

6. Summary
◦ Charlie's grandparents are loud in
their criticism of both children's
indulgent parents. Even Charlie
thinks Veruca Salt wasn't playing
fair. But the following day is his
birthday, when he'll get his annual
candy bar. Maybe there will be a
third Golden Ticket waiting inside!

QUESTIONS

8. 1. Why was Augustus
Gloop’s mother proud
of her son?
◦ Augustus Gloop’s mother is
proud of her son because
eating is a much better
hobby than playing with
guns or being a hooligan.
She believes he needs the
nourishment.

9. Do you think Veruca deserved
to win the Golden Ticket? Why
or why not?
◦Veruca does not
deserve to win the
ticket, because she
cheated.

10. How do you
know that
there is a
“mad candy-
buying
spree”?
◦ Once the first Golden Ticket has been
found, the world goes into a buying
frenzy. Children take hammers to their
piggy banks; gangsters rob banks to
get the cash for more candy bars. A
professor even invents a machine that
can detect and grab anything in the
vicinity that's made of gold.

11. HOW DO YOU THINK CHARLIE
FEELS WAITING UNTIL THE NEXT
DAY WHEN HE COULD OPEN HIS
CANDY BAR?
Charlie probably feels anxious and nervous.
