Charlotte's Web Charlotte's Web is a moving story about farm animals. Many writers use

abstract and abstruse diction to interpret a particular idea but E. B.

White is different. The language used, the style, and the plots in

this book are very humorous that I find it so impressive. The author,

E. B. White, excels in creating animal characters that can talk and

feel normally like humans as a simple farm was depicted as a lively

family.

Wilbur, the protagonist, is a runt among a litter of pigs. He would be

slaughtered if Fern, the farmer's daughter, didn't stop his father

from killing the pig. Persuaded by Fern, Wilbur is looked after by

Fern meticulously and is later sent to the Zuckermans' barn, where he

encounters other farm animals and a spider called Charlotte.

As the days goes by, Wilbur gains quite a lot of weight, but it is a

nightmare for him because as the experienced old sheep in the barn has

said, the farmers are fattening him up to 'turn him into smoked bacon

and ham'. How can a pitiful pig do? Charlotte, being his good friend,

resolves to help him. She things for days and finally has an idea. She

uses her ability to spin webs to weave the words 'SOME PIG' right on

the web, which are bold and large. According to the thoughts of most

people, only humans can have the skill to write, so they are surprised

to see the words and their interest immediately centres on Wilbur,

making him the centre of attraction on the barn. Charlotte weaves the

words 'TERRIFIC' and 'RADIANT' as well; the words make Wilbur seem

really terrific and rad...

...ows anyone's life can

stand a little of that. ' Life is not in our control, so we cannot

blame ourselves for a short life. The most important thing is that, we

have a significant life. It is just like a candle burning at both

ends. Although the time for burning the candle is much shorter, the

blaze is more splendid and brilliant and the surroundings can be

brightly lit. There are many ways to make the candle burn more

magnificently. For example, as Charlotte said, helping Wilbur can

'lift up her life a trifle'; that means, if we help others too, we are

trying to cultivate our mind, and we are taking pleasure in helping

those in need.

Finally, I hope that everyone can find confidence along the broad road

of life, also seek for real happiness and true friends, and weave a

beautiful life through love and friendship!
