Very nice paragraph Sasha

Veruca Salt is a representation of spoil. She always wants
                           an example             a spoiled child. 

something immediately from her father or mother, like when


she wanted to have a Golden Ticket, her father hired
                                                                   . Her

thousands of workers to remove the wrapper. I think that is
                                                                     chocolate bar wrappers

not good and this girl when she will grow up she can't live
        good,         when this girl grows up, she will not be able to live wthout her parents

herself without her parents. In conclusion Roald Dahl wanted
                                                           conclusion,

to say that parents mustn't be like Mr. Salt.
