An outline of the story.
David and his wife Mary weren?t able to get a baby. So they adopted a boy, Matthew. Matthew asked a lot of weird questions and his mum and dad didn?t understand what he said. After a while Matthew told his parents about a voice in his head, it was from a thing named Chocky. This Chocky talked a lot in Matthew?s head and Matthew asked his parents what Chocky wanted to know.
Chocky did not only talk. He was able to take control over Matthew. When Matthew thought about nothing, Chocky was able to control Matthew. During a holiday Mary and David went away and let the children- Matthew and his sister Polly ? at the apartment where they were during the holiday. A friend of David was taking care of them. When David and Mary came back their friend Alan told them about an accident. Matthew had rescued his sister in a wild stream of water. That was weird because Matthew could not swim. He was a big hero and a lot of newspapers wrote about him. Matthews told his parents that Chocky had saved Polly?s live at the way Chocky could control Matthew. After that David asked a friend to talk with Matthew because he didn?t understand the problem of Chocky.
At the end of the story David was able to talk with Chocky when Matthew thought about nothing. Chocky told David that he was in this world to see what kind of planet it was and to compare a new sort of powers with the power in the world. At the end of the talk he went away and he never came back.
Characterisation
1) Matthew is the main character. He is a normal boy. Chocky is not a problem for him because Chocky is not dangerous for him. He talks a lot about Chocky with his father because his father doesn?t understand the whole thing. Matthew is twelve years old.
All the people around him don?t know what to think because they don?t understand what Chocky is. Matthew is very happy with Chocky because Chocky helps him with a lot of things. Matthew could not paint well so he let Chocky help him. With Chocky?s help he could paint very well.
2) The biggest problem in the book is that Matthew has a thing named Chocky in his head. For Matthew it is not a real problem but for the people around him it is.
In one of the paragraphs Mary is crying because she is scared of Chocky. She thinks Chocky will hurt Matthew. The teachers from Matthew?s are also a little bit angry because they don?t understand why Matthew asks weird questions like "Why is earth?"
The problem is solved at the end of the story because Chocky is gone one evening. Matthew?s parents are very happy about that.
3) When I was Matthew I would talk with people about the problem, but that?s also what Matthew did. I would also say to Chocky that he had to leave because my parent?s are scared and mad. I would also be scared because it?s very weird when you have a voice or something in tour head.
