Charlottes Web

This week my class and I have recently started the book Charlotte's web. In the first chapter were introduced to Fern and her family and the little runt Wilbur. When I first started reading Charlotte's web I looked at Fern as a bright and careful young girl because the way she pointed out to her father how killing Wilbur because of his size was wrong she mad very understanding points for a 8 year old girl. I also think Fern related herself to the pig in that situation when she asked her dad if he would kill her just because she was small. Fern came off as a very courageous person in the beginning of the story

Even though I am still in the begging chapters of the book, I can already tell that Fern and Wilbur have a very strong bond and I do not think anyone would be able to break that not even ferns dad or a little separation of distance. Fern plays a strong mother role to Wilbur and you can tell she really loves him she takes care of him as if he is her own child and that shows how she cares for him deeply. I do not think Fern is the only one who has a soft spot in her heart for Wilbur; I also think her dad does to. I think Mr. Arable also feels that killing Wilbur is wrong. Because he could have easily said no , and not let Fern keep Wilbur and have killed him but he did’t he gave her a chance to fight for something she really believed in and that shows that he’s not all bad he can also do right.

Nevertheless, Fern and her dad was not the only one who developed strong feelings, Wilbur the pig also became attached to the whole family and life style they were providing him. I can also connect my self to Fern and Wilbur’s relationship with me and my dog not just because it’s a animal and human relationship but because we have became so connected to each other and it feels as if nothing can separate us and that’s how Fern and Wilbur are. In addition, even though fern is young and usually young children are fascinated with animals fern is not just interested in Wilbur she really loves him and by her saving his life and taking care of him you can tell that is a bond that could never be broken.

Soon I will be finishing the book and I hope to learn more about Wilbur and Fern and see where there relationship goes. However, so far, I give this book an A+ at keeping me drawn in and I cannot wait to get deeper into the book.
