Charlotte’s Web is a book of children’s literature by American author

E.B.White and illustrated by Garth Williams; it was published on October 12,


1952, by Harper & Brothers. Publishers Weekly listed this book as the
bestselling children’s book of all time in 2000. This book contains 192 pages
which tells of a pig named Wilbur and friends with a spider named Charlotte.

This novel tells the story of a child named Fern, who raises a piglet that
his father had previously wanted to kill because the pig was born prematurely
and could not sell, but Fern held him and finally the pig was given by his father
to be raised by Fern himself. The white pig was later named by Fern; Wilbur,
and she fed him the milk that was put in a teat bottle which he then drank to
Wilbur.When Wilbur grew up, his parents said that Wilbur should be sold
because the more Wilbur grows up, the more he will eat. Fern, who already
loved Wilbur, had refused, but her father suggested that Fern sell it to their
uncle, whose name was Mr. Zuckerman, so that Fern could continue to visit
Wilbur there. At Mr. Zuckerman's farm, Wilbur meets many animals, and he
also meets a spider named Charlotte. He is good friends with Charlotte; and
even closer when Fern began to make frequent visits to see Wilbur again as he
grew.Wilbur heard the oblique news that at Christmas, Mr. Zuckerman would
slaughter it and make it a dish. He complains to Charlotte, and Charlotte, who
is actually a (aka) good animal, decides to help Wilbur. How? Charlotte spun
the words "Great Pig" in her net above Wilbur's stable. One morning Mr.
Zuckerman and Lurvy when delivering food to Wilbur's cage saw the
inscription. The farm was uproar, and from then on in Charlotte's net there were
words that always praised Wilbur.Since then Wilbur is famous and considered a
great hog which is a miracle.When the fair arrived, Mr. Zuckerman brought
Wilbur to enter the race. Of course Charlotte accompanied her best friend, even
though she actually felt unwell and her age was actually not long
anymore.Wilbur managed to win a medal and it was great happiness for him,
but that happiness didn't last long when he realized Charlotte looked limp and
said that he couldn't stay with her. In fact, Charlotte had one last time writing
on the net for her beloved friend. But Wilbur is not completely left alone,
Charlotte leaves a small sack containing thousands of eggs to guard then will
hatch itself later.So weak, Charlotte couldn't come home to die on the farm.
The spider, who had contributed to Wilbur's fame and kept him from being
slaughtered, ended up dying in the remains of the fair. Wilbur languidly took
the bag home and with the help of Templeton, a farm rat whom the animals
actually despised because he was dirty and disgusting, he carried it into the cage.
But almost all of Charlotte's children turned out to be aeronauts, spiders that
went all over the place and didn't stay in one place. Wilbur was almost in
despair that, for example, he was left behind by all of Charlotte's descendants
and no one was with him, but then three little spiders called out to greet
him.They became acquainted and because the three spiders had no names,
Wilbur named them Joy; happiness, Aranea; which comes from the middle
initials of the name Charlotte, and Nellie, which was specially chosen by Wilbur
himself, a special name but not anorak either.Wilbur was with the three of them
until the end of his life. But even so, all the services and memories left by
CharAfter I read this book. I must say, very good. I felt emotional to be happy
when the character Wilbur became the center of attention, and tears when his
best friend Charlotte finally died. For a book this thick, I feel like a box full of
filling with no space left. These spaces are filled with love, emotion, sacrifice,
loyalty. I feel sorry why I haven't read this book since long ago. I feel sorry
why many children have not read this book. Too many positive teachings have
been missed.

I think the story is not a good illustration. Subjective, but not


comfortable to look at, and can interfere with the content of the story.
Charlotte's Web isn't just a cute fable. It is thick with friendship, loyalty, and
even sacrifice. Apart from his own story, E.B. White is so "alive" is also a
special attraction. It is said that White was a farmer, and it was from that farm
that this story was born. That is why the depiction of the atmosphere in the barn,
with the habits of the animals in this book, feels very real. Unlike other fables,
Wilbur, Charlotte, Templeton, the geese et al. Have the characteristics and
habits of their respective people, it's just that they are made able to read and
speak by the imagination of the writer. The habits of these animals will also
help provide insight into the world of fauna for children. I know a good book is
not just a good sentence. But also the ability of the writer to make the reader
feel the emotions of the characters in it. This book has taken everything well.
As a fan of Babe, I got another treat for the cute, cheerful, innocent, and kind
pig character. I ended up having two fine pork in my sight. Perhaps what is
surprising is that the spider character, who is usually depicted as ferocious, has
a special place. Perhaps this is also a good teaching, that you should not judge
someone from mere prejudice. Lotte will still be remembered. I would rate this
book 4 out of 5 stars, because I didn't want to make Wilbur feel blushed with a
five star (even though he deserved it). Besides, he's a pig who doesn't really
like to show off. Charlotte knows that.

I would recommend this book to all ages. because Charlotte's Web's


book is not only a simple and beautiful children's classic, but it contains a lot of
great moral messages to teach not only children but also of all ages. E.B.
White wrote valuable lessons about friendship, sacrifice, and humility that are
very much in this book.
