A Stalwart Companionship: Charlottes's Web — by E.B. White

 

The book entitled "Charlotte's Web" written by E.B. White, is published in 1952. It is an interesting story about Fern Arable, an eight-year-old girl on a farm. He's the smallest piglet and needs Fern to feed him, making him grow strong. It starts when Fern saves a small pig from being killed, and she names him Wilbur. He's the smallest piglet and needs Fern to feed him, making him grow strong. Even when he moves to Mr. Zuckerman's farm, Wilbur still needs help and wants friends. When he faces the possibility of being Christmas dinner, he feels really sad until Charlotte, a smart barn spider, decides to help him. She writes special messages like "Some Pig" in her web, making people notice and admire Wilbur. With Charlotte's clever plan, Wilbur gets famous and even wins a prize at the county fair, securing his future. The story gets emotional when Charlotte tells Wilbur she's going to die after laying eggs. Despite the sad goodbye, the story ends with hope as Wilbur takes care of Charlotte's babies. Although most spiders leave, Charlotte's legacy lives on through her descendants as three generations stay in the barn, bringing comfort and friendship to Wilbur for many years.  The tale is about friendship, sacrifice, and the cycle of life.

The story is like a precious jewel, giving us a vivid picture of life in the countryside with interesting characters and important lessons about friendship and life. It is fantastic because it tells the different parts of the story really well, like where things happen, who the characters are, what they do, and what the story is about. The farm where the animals live is described so well that you can feel like you're there too. The animals, especially the clever spider Charlotte and the friendly pig Wilbur, are written so nicely that it's easy to imagine them as real friends. The characters are not one-dimensional; Wilbur grows and changes, showing realistic development. The characters, like Fern, Wilbur, and Charlotte, are unique and interesting. They act in ways that make sense, and you can understand them. The events in the story happen one after another in a way that makes sense and keeps you interested. The story has cool and imaginative things, like a spider doing amazing stuff, but it all fits together without being confused. The characters in the story are not just simple; they're like real people with feelings and actions that make sense. They stay the same throughout the story, so you can understand them better. The friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur teaches us about kindness and support, showing how being nice can have a lasting impact. This touching story, with its interesting way of telling things, talks about important ideas in a simple but strong way, leaving a lasting impression on readers of all ages.

I greatly recommend this book for Seventh-day Adventist schools because it doesn't use bad language and shows animals acting like people. The story is all about how important friendship is, which is really good for kids to learn about making friends and trusting others. It also quietly tells readers to look for friends who are trustworthy and points their thoughts towards God, making them realize that the most important trust is in a higher power. The story teaches readers to value their friendships and see them as lasting forever. The story also talks about appreciating life and accepting each other's differences, like how Wilbur and Charlotte do. The way Charlotte values her friendship with Wilbur makes a lasting impact, showing that what we do can really matter to others. It also talks about celebrating our differences and being careful about how our actions, like the threads in Charlotte's web, can affect others for a long time. The book reminds readers that even small things we do, it can make a big difference in other people's lives, and we should try to help and connect with others.
