Imagine being 8 years old and sitting down at the breakfast
table to eat when you see out the window your father with an ax. When you ask
your mother where he is going she gives you the news that he is going to kill a
piglet that was born the night before. Imagine
running outside to stop him when he decides to give you the piglet to
take care of. That’s what happened to Fern on the morning she got Wilbur the
pig. In the book Charlotte’s Web by
E.B. White. Friendship is a major theme in this story as well as other stories
for several reasons.
Friendship is a foundation of the novel. If Fern didn’t love
Wilbur he would be killed as a runt and served for Christmas dinner. Wilbur is saved by love twice the love is
equally as powerful as a love story. Charlotte says in the story “what’s a life
anyway? We’re born we live a little we die a spiders life can’t help but being
something of a mess with all this trapping and eating flies by helping me you
perhaps to life my life up a trifle heavens knows anyone’s life can stand a
little of that”.
Books that have the theme of friendship because they are
best friends and are always together and they will always do anything for each
other. For example the story where Toad wanted a letter and Frog sent him one
he did that to make him happy and toad would do the same. And how frog asks
toad the what the matter is whenever he is looking sad
Fern and Wilbur are best friends and they love each other
just like frog and toad and any other best friends they would save each other’s
live actually that’s what fern did on the very first page of Charlotte’s web in
both stories there is strong appearance of friendship and you can tell that
right away.
