I read Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White and felt slightly disappointed. I’m not sure why I expected something bigger from a children’s book. Many moments felt random, and the main plot didn’t fully make sense to me. Still, I appreciated how the story handles themes like life and death, friendship, and the passage of time.
I am 24 years old and have never read this book nor watched the movie. I'm not gonna lie I was definitely missing something cause this was low-key a fun read.
Wilbur was lovingly raised by a girl named Fern. But now he's a barn pig. He's bored and lonely - until he meets Charlotte, the beautiful grey spider who also lives in the barn. Charlotte thinks of a wonderful way to save Wilbur from a pig's unhappy fate. Her clever plan will delight you, in this famous story.
