Close your eyes for a moment and transpose yourself back through time to an era when women were admired for their pretty faces and meek dispositions alone. Those who were over-opinionated were despised and yet, Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine in the book "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, rose above her stereotypic expectations to reveal her true character. She was castigated by many but ultimately, will she be a success? A success in winning the heart of the one she loves despite his prejudice towards her family? Find out!

 

Book Review

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
(Check Catalog)
by Roald Dahl

This is a book review on my all-time favorite book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." It is about a little boy named Charlie Bucket. He lives with his mom, dad, Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George, and Grandma Georgina. Charlie is very poor. He doesn't get much either.

Willy Wonka, the greatest chocolate maker in the world, is finally opening his factory doors to the public. But only five children can go in. they have to find a golden tickey in any one of Wonka's chocolate bars in any candy shop in the world. Charlie doesn't think it is possible for him to win.

Four of the tickets are found, and Charlie loses all hope. But Charlie miraculously finds a ticket when he buys a bar with a nickel he finds on the road. He is astounded and takes it home to his mother. He and his Grandpa Joe go to the factory and find a load of surprises.

At the end, something really special happens to Charlie. If you want to know the ending, read this great book by Roald Dahl.
