love

The text I chose to examine today is Charlotte's Web. This is a novel of the most epic proportions, and is considered one of the great literary masterpieces of our time along with The Great Gatsby and To Kill A Mockingbird. The theme of love is entwined throughout the entire story of Charlotte's Web. From the very beginning when Wilbert is saved by the girl from being killed. The girl acted out of love for Wilbert even though he was the weak runt of his mother's liter. Later on during the final parts of the book when the spider Charlotte, who has acted and served as a loving mother to all those in need on the farm, has her babies she grows ill. It eventually becomes evident that Charlotte is going to die. WIlbert and all the other farm animals in the barn are completely distraught over the fact that they are going to loose Charlotte due to how much they all love her so badly. Upon seeing this even when she is dieing Charlotte summons the strength and energy to tell all the barn animals and Wilbert one last time how very important they all are to her and how she will always love them very much. While this story may be meant for kids it teaches a lesson in love that is so profound and impactful that it makes this novel a must read for every person on the face of the earth.
