Posted on September 3, 2017 by admin Grandpa Joe Takes a Gamble What is the main idea of this chapter? Charlie�s grandpa "takes a gamble" on something. What does it mean to "gamble" on something? Find the section in the second paragraph where Grandpa Joe "beckoned Charlie to come closer." What does "beckoned" mean in this context? Grandpa Joe offers Charlie his secret money and tells Charlie to buy another Wonka candy bar. Does Charlie do it? How do Charlie and Grandpa Joe react at the end of the chapter? Was there anything that wasn't clear to you? Post navigationPrevious post: Here Comes CharlieNext post: Question #1
