Craig Hlavaty May 18, AM. The bratty kids, the arrogant and maniacal Wonka, the ineffectual parents, maybe even the whiny and frail Charlie Bucket, who wastes his time trying to win a ticket to a chocolate factory while his family starves.
The musical comedy, based on Roald Dahl's children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , remains a must-see for kids of all ages. The older you get the more twisted it becomes, though. But Grandpa Joe? Portrayed by the late Jack Albertson? The "man" from Chico and the Man? What did he do to anyone, besides get out of bed, instill hope in his grandson and bark at Wonka when he did his grandson dirty? The makers of this Facebook page are not alone.
Say No To Grandpa Joe has also been fighting this fight for sometime, labeling the patriarch as a bastard, ratbag, industrial spy who is at turns vindictive, cruel and even a misogynist.
In both versions of the tale, it is very clear who is number one in Grandpa Joe's mind. He decides he must accompany Charlie to the chocolate factory.
In the movie, he actually speaks of the ticket as though he, not Charlie, was the winner. He considers eating everything a viable option. He doesn't pause to consider that others might be hungry. He puts his immediate desire for fizzy lifting drinks ahead of Charlie's lifetime supply of chocolate, and convinces Charlie to break the rules and drink the fizzy lifting drink! In the very beginning, Grandpa Joe lays comfortably in a bed with his wife and the elders of the family instead of helping the family financially or domestically at home.
He sees his daughter working long hours in a run down laundry house, and poor Charlie delivering newspapers to help his mother make ends meet. I really hope you're not serious though. Of course we're serious. Grampa Joe is a seriously bad person and it is incumbent on all of us as good citizens to make others aware of it. We wouldn't be surprised to discover that Grampa Joe is working for al Qaida or Michael Jackson these days.
Answered by Oompa on November 1, Why have you not investigated the sequel to the Chocolate Factory only in book format for further evidence of Grandpa's treachery? Sadly, the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator focuses primarily on Wonka, whose evil is unquestioned. We do plan to add a few additional facts and observations from the second book.
We believe that awareness is the key. By doing your part to make others aware of Grandpa Joe's evil, you can help to undermine his influence. Answered by Oompa on November 5, What about Wonka? Why haven't you addressed his role as lunatic, pedophile, corruptor, madman, etc.
Judging by the number of times we have been asked this question there is no need to create a site to inform the public about Wonka's misdeeds. By and large, people are very aware of Wonka's idiosyncracies, but far fewer recognize the evil embodied by Grandpa Joe. Answered by Oompa on November 13, How can grandpa joe, with his subtle villany, negativly influnce anyone?
The question contains the answer. After a beautiful rendition of " I've Got A Golden Ticket" in which Grandpa Joe showcases more selfishness singing the line "I've got a golden ticket" as if he instead of Charlie found the ticket, the two scurry off to the chocolate factory where Grandpa Joe criticizes all the other kids and almost costs Charlie his lifetime supply of chocolate by convincing him to drink the fizzy lifting drinks that they weren't supposed to be touching!
It is evident that Grandpa Joe does not have Charlie's nor Mrs. Bucket's best interest at heart. Instead Grandpa Joe only thinks of himself while mooching off of others in order to get what he wants. It's time the world sees this atrocious old man for who he really is. A cunning, manipulative, monster! Nowadays, many working adults, high school graduates, and retired lifelong learners are choosing to advance their careers, lives, and personal knowledge by completing school at home.
The rising popularity of online college and graduate school degrees has completely changed the face of education and student life.
It's no longer necessary to pack up all your belongings and head off to a distant locale in order to earn a diploma. If you feel the temptation to cut costs, save time, and take advantage of the incredible benefits of online learning and convenience of at-home study, it's essential to know the key facts about online degrees before signing up for a course of study.
Many people still worry about the legitimacy of tele-study, while others wonder how to finance the coursework. So, if you're ready to become a distance learner, review all the relevant issues related to financing, checking credentials of schools, work-life balance, expenses, and what it takes to earn good grades. Here are more details about each point. Non-traditional methods of earning degrees, primarily via computer-based courses, are fully legitimate.
In fact, many of the world's top universities and colleges offer both in-person and distance curricula. However, it is still imperative to check the credentials of any institution before making any payments. Check accreditation status, read reviews from former students, and call the admissions office to inquire about how to apply.
If your educational goals include an advanced degree, it's worth looking into private graduate student loans. Working through a private lender, most prospective pupils can obtain enough money to pay for all degree-related expenses, take advantage of competitive rates, and get access to suitable repayment terms. This is especially helpful for current college grads who want to get their MBA, JD, or other specialty degrees to qualify for high-paying jobs.
If you struggle to define balance in your life , this will surely help you. There's no question about one fact in that e-degrees offer the best work-life balance situation possible.
That's primarily because class scheduling is highly flexible, most programs are self-paced, and you can do homework whenever it fits into your work week, assuming you hold a job while you're in school.
Universities and colleges can earn high profit margins on e-courses because a vast majority of the classroom sessions are taped and can be viewed at any time. In short, schools spend much less on e-students than on those who live and matriculate on campus.
In general, expect to pay about half the cost of a traditional diploma when you are a remote learner. One thing that's often overlooked when comparing all the differences between traditional and computer-based curricula is the discipline factor. If you intend to opt for an e-degree, make sure you have the self-control to watch every video lesson, take part in live discussions, study for exams, and write papers. For some, it's far too easy to give in to the temptations of TV, social media, and other distractions when earning a degree from the comfort of home.
