Charlottes Web Essay Example

Charlotte’s Web was a story about a little girl named Fern who saved a runt pig she named Wilbur from being killed by her dad. Fern told her dad that it was not fair to kill a pig just because it was small and told him that she would take care of him herself. When Wilbur was a month old, he had to go live down the road on Mr. Zuckerman’s farm.
Wilbur missed Fern, but soon he made new friends. His new best friend was a spider named Charlotte. Soon he got bad news from the sheep when they told him that Mr. Zuckerman was just fattening him up for Christmas dinner. Wilbur told Charlotte that he didn't want to die.
