Good–by Violet

In this chapter, we see that Violet has something in common with Augustus Gloop in Chapter 17. What do these children have in common?

Why does Mr. Wonka call this invention "�a chewing–gum meal�"?

Mr. Wonka warns Violet that the new gum is not ready to eat yet. Why does he say this?

As Violet chews her gum, Charlie stares "at her absolutely spellbound . . ." Which word means the same as "spellbound" in this section?

In the same paragraph as the last question, Mr. Wonka is also watching Violet and "wringing his hands." What does it mean to "wring" your hands in this context?

When Mrs. Beauregarde screeches that Violet is "�blowing up like a balloon�" Mr. Wonka corrects her. What does he say Violet is becoming?

What do the Oompa–Loompas tells us about Miss Bigelow?

Was there anything that wasn't clear to you?
