2. CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
Children's literature is often defined in four
different ways: books written by children,
books written for children, books chosen by
children, or books chosen for children. It is
often illustrated.

3. Books specifically for children existed by the
17th century. Before this time period it is
generally believed that books were written
mainly for adults. Additionally, most printed
works cost too much and were mostly
available for purchase only by upper class
society.

4. Types of children's literature
The major categories of children's literature
are:
• Picture books and wordless books

5. • Traditional literature: there are some
characteristics of traditional literature:
conventional introductions and conclusions,
vague settings, stereotyped characters,
anthropomorphism, cause and effect, happy
ending for the hero, magic accepted as
normal, brief stories with simple and direct
plots.

6. • Fiction, including the sub-genres of fantasy
and realistic fiction (both contemporary and
historical)
• Non-fiction
• Biography, including autobiography
• Poetry and verse.

7. Quotations about books
The worth of a book is to be measured by
what you can carry away from it.

A good book should leave you... slightly
exhausted at the end. You live several lives
while reading it.

8. A good book has no ending.

teachers.

the secrets of our own.

12. Quotations about cinema
Because there is so little room for expression
otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they
find it a way of expressing themselves.

what's out.

in a theatre.
Roman Polanski
Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life
and your loneliness.

always been closely associated. The very

magicians.

My duty is to try to reach beauty. Cinema is
emotion.

15. Entertainment today constantly emphasises
the message that things are wonderful the
way they are. But there is another kind of

16. MODERN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald
Dahl
Roald Dahl (13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a
British novelist, short story writer, poet and screenwriter.
Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, he served in the British
Royal Air Force during World War II, in which he became a
flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of Wing
Commander. Dahl rose to prominence in the 1940s, with
works for both children and adults, and became one of the
world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of
the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".

17. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was written
in 1964. The story features the adventures of
young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate
factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.
The book was adapted into two major motion
pictures: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
in 1971, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
in 2005. The book's sequel, Charlie and the
Great Glass Elevator, was written by Roald
Dahl in 1972.

18. Main characters
The story centers around an average and poor boy
named Charlie Bucket, who lives in extreme poverty
with his extended family; Grandpa Joe, his
grandfather; the chocolatier Willy Wonka; the
children who have to find one of the five golden
tickets hidden inside the wrapping paper of random
Wonka bars, Augustus Gloop (a boy who eats
constantly), Veruca Salt (a girl who is spoiled), Violet
Beauregarde (a girl who chews gum all day), Mike
Teavee (a boy who is addicted to television).

19. The set
The Chocolate Room
The Chocolate Room is the first room the group
enters. It is said that everything in this room is
edible: the pavements, the bushes, even the grass.
There are trees made of taffy that grow jelly apples,
bushes that sprout lollipops, mushrooms that spurt
whipped cream, pumpkins filled with sugar cubes
instead of seeds, jelly bean stalks, and spotty candy
cubes. The main icon of the room is the Chocolate
River, where the chocolate is mixed and churned by
the waterfall, but must not be touched by human
hands.

20. The Inventing Room
The Inventing Room is the second room that the tour
goes through. This room is home to Wonka's new—
and still insufficiently tested—candies, such as
Everlasting Gobstoppers, Hair Toffee, and Wonka's
greatest idea so far, Three-Course Dinner Chewing
Gum. This candy is a three course dinner all by itself,
containing, "Tomato soup, roast beef, and blueberry
pie." However, once the chewer gets to the dessert,
the side effect is that they turn into a giant
"blueberry."

21. The Nut Room
This room is where Wonka uses trained
squirrels to break open good walnuts for use
in his sweets. All bad walnuts are thrown into
a garbage chute which leads to an incinerator
that is lit every other day.

22. The Television Room
The Television Room is home to Wonka's latest
invention, Television Chocolate, where they
take a giant bar of Wonka chocolate and
shrink it, then send it through the air in a
million pieces to appear in a television. The
bar can be taken from the screen, and even
consumed.
