In this activity students will compare and contrast characters within the text. In this example, Grandpa Joe is compared to Mr. Willie Wonka. The two characters are similar in that they try to remain calm in exciting situations.
For example, Grandpa Joe can barely contain his excitement as Charlie opens the Wonka candy bar, and Willie Wonka is excited about entering the Chocolate Room, but reminds the guests to remain calm.
Grandpa Joe and Willie Wonka both show bursts of excitement. Grandpa Joe jumps out of bed and dances all over the house when Charlie comes home with a golden ticket. Willie Wonka explodes with excitement when he realizes that Charlie is the last child left and is the ultimate winner.
