Charlotte's Web
This book touched me in a very special way. I was raced in a place where there were always different kinds of animals, including pigs. I always viewed pigs as stinky, dirty and disgusting creatures, with only one good use in life, to be eaten. As much as liked this story I have to say that I felt bored sometimes with the descriptions of the farm, since I am very familiar with that kind of life. However this book made me feel sad and somehow guilty for disregarding the feelings of animals. I started thinking how cruel it was that people just raise animals and then kill them, without realizing that it has always been customary of "us" to do so.
That is why today we have such a wonderful book like Charlotte's Web. I think this is so true, and as we become adults most of the time we forget about that ability that we all have to imagine wonderful things, but White never did. Wilbur was a very loving pig, but the genius was Charlotte. How many times have I felt lonely and bored, even now that I am older. Wilbur's fear of dying symbolizes the trouble that children so many times could get into, and when this happens they always run to their best friend, in this case Charlotte is also a mother figure, because she is so wise and mature. Something else that I realized reading this book is how mysterious and talented spiders are. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too -- truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act". In a letter written to one his readers E. When Wilbur finds Charlotte it reminded me of my own friend who has been by my side always giving me advice and guiding me to do the right thing since she is a few years older than me. White wrote: "In real life, a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web. But real life is only one kind of life -- there is also the life of the imagination. f so many facts of life that I was amazed to see how much truth there was in this story and how almost all the time those episodes reminded me of events that have happened in my own life. In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet.
