they would've never been able to win the prize at the caravial. Wilbur was a very special pig. He could talk, and he
was Fern's bestfriend. In relaity the pig would not be believeable. Not any pig around here can talk or do some of the
things Wilbur was able to do. I don't think Wilbur reacted the way I would. He was a humble person and didn't know how to

the dad. At the beginning of the story the dad wanted to kill the pig for being to little. Although Fern was...

...e to save the day. She made a new web that caught everyones eye and changed the
judges mind. After this Charlotte won and was ready to compete again. My faviorte quote from the book is " The pig couldn't
help being born small, could it? If I had been born very small would you have kill me? " You can find this quote on page 3.
I would recommend this book for anyone to read. It's a great story and can show anyone a lesson. I really liked it! It
teaches a lesson. It shows that just because you might be small doesn't mean you can't do everything everyone else does. Even if
it may be a childrens book everyone should take the time to read it.
This is my summary of Charlotte's Web. I hope you enjoyed it so much that you have thought about reading it yourself.
I know im glad I took the time out of my day to read it. I hope you do to.

Piggy - Piggy is an eager, chubby kid, who likes to poke his nose where it doesn’t belong. Piggy is the only one on the island that wears glasses to aid his vision, and seems to be a character easily disliked because of his babyish personality.

Piggy's literal function in this novel is to be the intellectual and logical thinker to counteract the emotional thinking of the other boys. From the beginning, Piggy viewed everything logically. He quickly came to the realization that the boys may be on the island for a long time, when he told Ralph "Nobody don't know we're here.

As we ponder over our reading experiences as children, almost every American will remember reading Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. How we read as children and how we read as adults is not at all the same. One might state children read for the pleasure of the story and adults simply read too much into the given text. However, one must realize the images being portrayed to our children. How could a story about a pig and a spider relay unwanted messages to our children? It is important to remark how social guidelines are presented in this text. The most obvious is the assignment of gender roles to the characters Not only does this affect the human characters in the story, but it also affects the farm life. The other social guideline found in this text is the barnyard society. This society can in turn represent our human society. These two guidelines of society are taught unknowingly to our children through this story. What is perhaps the most surprising is how little attitudes have changed. This book was originally published in 1952 and these stereotypes still exist in our society forty five years later.
The characters that made an impact in the story of Romeo and Juliet and “Animal Farm” are the nurse and squealer the pig. These two characters played a big role in the play based on their social class in the setting of the story. There are many important life lessons that people can learn from both of these characters.
