In the book Charlotte's web I noticed the there is a web of connections letting the main characters survive and how without each other life would be a difficult existence.
One attachment to this web is Wilbur and Templeton. Many little children may remember when Templeton said " Why should worry let him die"(p.90). That's when Charlotte pointed out that his Wilbur's food is going to the grave with Wilbur, and pointed out how much Templeton loves Wilbur's left overs. That's when Templeton stood up and said to the dump (in my head). Templeton is only interested in food and if Wilbur alive equals food Wilbur must stay alive.
One of the most obvious connections in the book is Charlotte and Wilbur. The entire book is how Charlotte is helping Wilbur survive by writing letters in her web describing Wilbur, but Wilbur helps Charlotte survive by attracting flies with his manure pile and his trough. of course with out Wilbur she would still stay alive but Wilbur is helping the wait for that unlucky fly to fly by a little easier. life without each other would be a a hard existence.
survival is about having some body to help you and to keep you alive. But if you are alone penned up with no one around your doomed to death or a very lonely existence.
I never really thought about how wilbur and Tempelton were helping each other.Because Tempelton is the mean one of the book and not a lot of mean people have connetions to the somewhat quiet,gentel and eager people. I think that was something E.B white is trying to teach us the sometimes the difference in people can make a uncommen friendship or in this case a friend with benefits
ReplyDeleteI agree with jose, though i like how you said that tempelton loves wilbur's leftovers like he can only survive on his leftovers and went to the dump cause he was not gonna get no food. I think your also right that without each other the main character life would be a difficult existence.
