The story is told in third-person like a fly on the wall. The author writes like a fly would observe what is going on. He does not go inside the mind of all the characters. The timeline in the story is divided in tree. The first part covers some days from when we first meet Charlie until he finds the golden ticket. The second part is just one day, at the factory, and the last part covers the day when Charlie received his surprise. The most important scene, in my opinion, is when Charlie finds the golden ticket, because nobody expects it. That’s the turning point in the book. There are four scenes I think is particularly interesting. That’s the scenes where the children get “eliminated”. These scenes are interesting because Roald Dahl brings out his talented ability to fantasize and write great fantasy short stories like this.
