Who Saved The Life Of Wilbur

The power of perception can play a major role in certain situations. In Wilbur’s case, it saved his life. Charlotte used the power of perception to make people see Wilbur as more than just a pig to make bacon out of. She was able to have people perceive Wilbur as “ Some pig, Terrific, Radiant and even Humble” . Even though Wilbur himself didn’t think he was radiant, standing under the web tall, made it believable. When the crowd seen Wilbur standing under whatever word was written, they all believed whatever Charlotte put up on her web, and each time it saved Wilbur's life day by day. So in this case Charlotte's plan of deceiving people to see what she wanted them so see Wilbur as, it worked and it saved Wilbur’s life and even won him a grand prize at the fair.
It’s crazy to think we can look at a pig as radiant or humble, but Charlotte did.
Charlotte understands that in order to save Wilbur’s life, she had to do something extraordinary to make Wilbur stand out more than just any other pig. If she couldn’t figure out a game plan for Wilbur, she knew his life would come to an end. Charlotte came up with a plan and worked all night at it for her friend Wilbur. She chose the mysterious way of writing words in her web, and Mr. Zuckerman fell for the trick. He sure thought it was out of the norm, and believed Wilbur was some pig just like the web Charlotte made said. Mr. Zuckerman believed whatever he seen was written in the web, and what he seen he also spread to the community and it expanded to other people. The others in the community also believed the hype and believed what they seen and they took in and believed whatever was written in the web that
day. Charlotte’s plan worked. Wilbur is alive in the barn with all his friends. He took Charlotte’s eggs for her since she stayed at the fair and quietly passed away. Charlotte’s love for Wilbur made her exhausted, but she succeeded in what she wanted to do, which was save Wilbur’s life. Wilbur was a friend and she wanted nothing more but to make Wilbur happy and safe. The Power of Perception worked. Wilbur was able to get a second chance because Mr. Zuckerman, Lurvy, and the community believed he was Some pig, Terrific, Radiant and Humble. This can also happen in real life situations, the way we look at things or people, may not be the way we perceive them. We may see someone walking the streets and look at them one way, but in reality we have no idea what their story is or who they are. We shouldn’t just decide what someone is, we should dig deeper and find out who they are. In Wilbur’s case, Mr. Zuckerman shouldn’t just decide he’s ham or bacon in the winter, He should’ve looked beyond that, and after Charlotte’s web he did.
