Pages Read: Finished

"Charlotte's Web" was an amazing book. I loved it just like I loved the movie. I always cry at the end even though I know what is going to happen. The end it a great example of friendship. Three spiders don't do what they are suppose to do and stay with Wilbur to be their friend. I have to say the three little spiders are just as kind as their mother. I have to say that Templeton is a rather spiteful creature, at the end of they story, you know his had a heart because he goes and gets Charlotte's egg sac. Sure, it did take some nasty chum to get him to do it, but he did and that's what's important.

The title does fit the story. The title fits the story because Charlotte is the spider who befriends Wilber. Since she is a spider, she spins webs. Charlotte finds out an idea to help her new friend not get eaten. That requires to make a web and spell out different words in it.
