PUNCTUATION: One thing I've notised while reading Charlottes web, was that at the end of Fern's mother's sentences, there would always be an exclamation point when Avery is around. I also reconized, that E. B. White would have a lot of sentences ending with commas. I'm not sure if this is a writing style, or if it has a deeper meaning.
SPRING: there are a lot of things that have to do with death, and life in this book. And there are a lot of different ways to view life and death in this book.
1. theres Wilber being saved from an "untimely death"
2. there are the goslings, and the bad egg.
3. there is charlotte and her eggs
4. there is Wilber and bacon.
This books touches on different sorts of death and life. It goes into, they way people kill animals for food, and so their lifes would be easier, it goes into how sometimes things dont turn out perfectly, but that is expected (the goslings) it goes into how with death comes life and vise versa (charlotte and her eggs)
NAMES: E. B. White made the choice to give Wilber, Charlotte, and Templeton names in the book. I really like this about the book because it makes them seem more important, and more humanistic. I also liked how the people's names were related to farms and plants. (Fern)
THINGS I LIKED:
~Page 55, A spider's web is stronger than it looks. Although it is made of thin, delicate strands, the web is not easily broken.
~Page 4, Avery was ten. He was heavily armed -an air rifle in one hand, a wooden dagger in the other.
FERN AND WILBER: when i think about fern's relation ship with wilber, it seems to me like its one of those growing up things. It makes me think of how you can make friends in kindergarden, and keep them for the rest of your life, even if they don't stay as close to you as they were at the start. It makes me think of how friends come and go, and sometimes in your life, your enemies eventually become your friends.
