Consequence Lessons

This passage explores how each child’s behavior in *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* leads to a fitting consequence. Augustus Gloop’s greed gets him stuck in a pipe, while Veruca Salt’s spoiled nature results in her being deemed a “bad nut.” Violet Beauregarde’s impulsiveness turns her into a giant blueberry, and Mike Teavee’s obsession with technology shrinks him. In contrast, Charlie’s kindness and humility lead him to win the ultimate prize-owning the factory.
