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...

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.

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

From this, it is clear to see that humans have only the talents that God gives us, and one should never try to outsmart Him. It is inevitable to see that God is in control of the circle of life and no one should try and disturb that process.
When he meets the Wessens and Miss Woodbury, the swipe’s views are changed. He describes Wilbur Wessen as a “nice guy” and the “kind maybe that goes to college” (84). Miss Elinor Wessen is “the nicest girl” who “could talk proper grammar” (84). The swipe begins to admire these educated people. The swipe begins to wish that he were more like the Wessens than like those he formerly associated with. During dinner, he is so glad that his mother “made [him] learn to eat with a fork at the table” and that he is not “noisy and rough like a gang you see around a racetrack” (88). The swipe begins to appreciate his education and have a regard for social distinctions.
People often give up their life to save another as an act of courage or valiancy. In the novel Tale of Two Cities, Sidney Carton’s death saved Charles Darnay. However, when Carton gave his life it was not a noble act nor did he die merely to save Darnay. Carton committed suicide to immortalize himself in the eyes of Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay’s wife and Sidney Carton’s obsession. The fact that this event saved Charles Darnay’s life was just a fortunate coincidence.
To understand this position on life, take the following hypothetical situation. A woman has a terminal disease; in one year she will be dead. But she does have two options, she can simply live out the year in a hospital bed, weak and sickly from her disease, and die in one year. Or, the alternative choice is that she can take a pill which will...
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.
In the romantic fantasy film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) music played a key part in the movie from scene to scene allowing the audience to feel emotions and become attached the characters and story plot. Howard Shore composed the score for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse film adding his magic touch to the film. The soundtrack itself managed to make to make it to Number two on U.S Billboard 200.

Mother Teresa once said, “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in” (Mother Teresa). The author of this quote was a nun who joined the Society of the Missionaries of Charities in Calcutta to benefit the poor in India (Mayor 1). Throughout her lifetime, Mother Teresa held religious creeds that reflected in her thoughts and acts. In the quote, she addresses a concern for humanitarian acts in a list that includes feeding, sheltering and clothing others. Certainly, Mother Teresa’s quote regarding service is true; thus, evidence consists on accurate descriptions of a situation society faces, genuine charity and the correlations this quote can share with non-profit organizations in actuality.
