Hey all,
Time for...another blog post! Lol. Well, I just finished reading this rather touching book called Charlotte's Web, so yeah, I'm here to do the book review:)
Well, I suppose this book instantly reminded me of the kind of motherly love I received from my mother when I was younger, when she protected me from all the dangers of the outside world, in this case Fern protecting Wilbur from getting slaughtered by her father. That really revoked my fond memories of my younger days, when my mother sacrificed a lot of her time to raise me, just like what Fern did for Wilbur and how Charlotte treated Wilbur from the time when Wilbur was sold to Mr Zuckerman.
Now, I will choose one word to describe Charlotte, who truly touched me in this book The word is "loyal". If you look closely, it has been mentioned in the book, and I fully agree with it. Firstly, she was completely selfless. She helped Wilbur win the prize but did not take much credit for the prize. Also, she worked tirelessly to save Wilbur's life, weaving words into her web during the night when every animal was sleeping. She also never left Wilbur's side, even following him to the fair, fearing for him if he was alone. She, too, defended Wilbur when he was being insulted by the other animals, such as when the lamb said Wilbur stank. She, too, builded the confidence of Wilbur from time to time, just like what good friends do.
Now, here is the radio announcement I would make to advertise this book. "Hello, one and all, a enchanting book about a spider who amazingly saved a pig's life is now in stores. It is a truly touching story and not only entertains you with it's creative storyline, but it also teaches us many morale values. It is certainly a book worth reading, and a book not to be missed.
Satisfaction guaranteed and it is truly one of the most wonderful books I have ever read.
I liked the way the story ended, definitely. Charlotte's death came as no surprise, given the fact that she was starting to feel very weak and that she had already laid her eggs. Therefore, the fact that Charlotte's offspring and her grandchildren and so on continued accompanying Wilbur is really touching, especially after we thought that Wilbur was going to be left all alone when most of her offspring started drifting away. The story ended with Wilbur living happily without Mr Zuckerman ever thinking of slaughtering him, and most importantly, with Charlotte's children and grandchildren and so on accompanying him through the rest of his life, and that is just like a fairytale ending, a dream ending.
Thanks for reading,
Bye
