Story Arc Breakdown(8 steps)

Little boy Charlie Buckett lives with his parents, grandparents and grandparents.
Looking out of the Barketts’ window, they could see the largest chocolate factory in the world, owned by Willy Wonka, the great inventor and manufacturer of chocolate. It is a mysterious factory with locked doors and no workers have been seen entering or leaving the gates for 15 years, but the smell of chocolate is strong. The factory’s Wonka brand chocolates are sold all over the world and are loved by children.

Mr Willy Wonka made an announcement that he would be opening the Chocolate Factory, full of “mystery and magic”, to five lucky children. In addition to a tour of the factory, they will also receive enough chocolate candies and other sweets to last a lifetime.

Little Charlie found the coin in the snow and ran to the nearest shop where he couldn’t wait to buy the Wonka brand of chocolate. Little Charlie, who hadn’t tasted chocolate for a long time, was wondering what the chocolate would taste like when he unwrapped the wrapper to find gold revealed underneath.

The visit to the chocolate factory was a singular experience. Little Charlie, Grandpa and every visitor were amazed by the sights and smells that came out of their noses and their experience was filled with endless wonder, amazement and bewilderment.

The huge ‘candy bar’ caused the other four children to lose their self-control and some fell into a river of chocolate, some were turned into sweets, some were sent to the scrapyard and some got into the TV and turned into signal particles.

Young Charlie is unmoved by all this and eventually becomes the heir to the chocolate factory, but chooses to give it up for the sake of his family。
