Charlotte's Web Tells of a young pig named Wilber who was born the runt of the litter and saved by Fern, the farmer's daughter. She raises him for a month then gives him to her uncle Homer. At Homer's barn the other animals ignore him and he befriends a spider named Charlotte. When Wilber learns he is going to be killed for a holiday meal Charlotte spins words in to her web to save Wilber, which succeeds. Charlotte then dies after laying her eggs. When they hatch all but three leave. Wilber then cares for Charlotte's three children and their descendants.
Charlotte's Web shows that even the smallest of voices can make a big difference. Such as Fern pleading with her father to let Wilber live. As well as Charlotte weaving words in to her web for all to see so that Wilber can live. It goes to show you just how effective it can be to stand up for someone you care about.

I used to love this book when I was younger, especially watching the film as well. It made me actually believe that animals really knew how to talk. This made me really think how valuable friendships are and not to take them for granted. When you find a true friend who stood up for when times got rough, it's hard to let them go. I agree with Eric saying that "the smallest voices can make a big difference" because even if you was quiet before, you learn how to build up your self esteem to make other people hear your ideas and opinions. This will be one of my favorite stories to read.
