Childhood, as we all know, is the state or period of being a child; the early period in the development of something (Merriam-Webster). The movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) illustrates five different children with each having different behavior, and they have one thing in common they are the only child in their family. These children are in the middle childhood, primary school age, around age seven or eight. What makes them different from each other is interesting. It allows the viewers to think if their behavior is either result of their experience or how they were raised. How they perceive things and how they behave are part of their cognitive development. The major domain of early childhood development is their cognitive development and the arguable aspects of the Nature-Nurture.

The 1971 Mel Stewart film, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, is about a little boy named Charlie Bucket, who is very poor and wants to do something to help his family. The movie starts by showing that there is a contest going on for people to win a special tour through the factory of Wonka Chocolate Company and a lifetime supply of chocolate. There are only five special golden tickets hidden inside products from the Wonka Company. When the five people have found the tickets, there is a big gathering on the day of the tour with big crowds of people and news people too to see Mr wonka come out from his factory to greet the winners. When the children and their parents are inside the factory the children sign a thing saying they will not steal or take information or do bad things and they all go on their way for the tour. Right away, it all seems very strange with coat hooks that move and weird size doors and rooms. Inside of the factory is very much a different world. The workers are small orange men who sing songs telling about the behaviors people should not have.

Charlie was a man that did not know how to stand up for himself. He allowed his peers to bully him, and treat him like he is worthless. Charlie thinks that if he allows people to laugh at him, and tease him, they will become his friend. He thinks “Its easy to make frends if you let

Charlie was constrained into adulthood early through him having to fill his father’s boots. Therefore, Charlie had to become the financial provider of his family.

Also Charlie is one of the most menial kids around he would never go with Jasper if he didn’t have courage. All of the choices Charlie makes impact his life in some way for example; if he didn’t go with Jasper his life would be normal, but because of one simple decision his life changed forever with the fact that he hid a body hovering over him at all times.

Perhaps if Jerry had a more forthcoming and open relationship with his father, the ending of the story could have changed.

The movie The Breakfast Club exemplifies many aspects of society and societal norms. It also shows how if you put your differences aside and focus on what is on the inside, you can find a lot more in common with each other than you would think.

In both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland the underlying meaning can come from the character’s curiosity. In Alice in Wonderland, the whole premise of the movie is based on Alice’s curiosity as a person. This is what leads her down the rabbit whole (1:35:53-1:35:04). In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie’s curiosity about Willie Wonka and this Factory is what leads him to buying the chocolate bar (1:26:16-1:25:47). The curiosity of both characters eventually leads them so something great. One theme that is portrayed in both of these movies is that if one is curious about the world they will find something that they love. Another meaning that is in the interior of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is that the prize in life comes from hard work and sacrifice. Charlie wins the prize from Willie Wonka because Willie sees that Charlie is a hard worker and honest. Charlie gets his hard working personality from his parents and understands hard work because of his poor economic circumstances. The most noticeable interior meaning that is shown in all of Burtons movies, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland, is that the outcast in the beginning of the film ends up being the hero by the end of the film. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie becomes the hero by being able to take over the factory for Willie Wonka. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice is

The question of why Charlie himself did not put a stop to this is definite in the reader's eyes. We may conclude, with the information given in the exposition that Charlie knew he had the option of never seeing his father again. The train could symbolize that this encounter with his father was a ‘quick stop' in his journey in life. By not reacting with the same negative energy and by avoiding confrontation we see the growth in Charlie. We see that he has surpassed the necessity of a father figure and acceptance of being without one, even though he in fact would've rather have one. "I was terribly happy to see him again" (p207) "I hoped that someone would see us together. I wished that we could be photographed. I wanted some record of our having been together." (p208) and then he simply says, "Goodbye, daddy."

The Breakfast Club is a timeless movie centered around the very relevant concept of discovering your identity and breaking away from stereotypes. It is about a group of 5 defiant high school students who are all forced to spend their Saturday in detention. The five main characters include Claire (Molly Ringwald) the princess, Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) the brain, Andrew (Emilio Estevez) the jock, Allison (Ally Sheedy) the weirdo, and John Bender (Judd Nelson) the criminal. These students have very different personalities and very little in common- or so they think.
