PRACTICE PARAGRAPH NO. 03
In these three chapters there werent any human and animal interrelationships because there werent any humans mentioned. However, there were a lot of animal relationships between Wilbur and the other animals. The goose doesnt even give Wilbur the time of day, and just sort of sees him as a distraction. The sheep say they consider pigs less than nothing, which is odd to me because what do the sheep do that make them that great? Hearing this just devastates poor Wilbur, as it would anyone. Wilbur then turns to Templeton who has no interest in Wilbur, just Wilburs food. After hearing that no one cares about him Wilbur becomes very depressed. He feels that he doesnt have any friends on the farm, which makes him sad because he was so used to having a friend all the time when he lived with Fern. Then Charlotte comes into the picture, but Wilbur isnt so sure if he really wants to be her friend because she is so bloodthirsty. In the next couple of chapters Wilbur gets extremely stressed. One of the sheep tells him that the Zuckermans are just fattening him up to kill him at Christmas time. Naturally, Wilbur freaks out and starts running around saying Save me, I dont want to die. Charlotte overheard the conversation between the sheep and Wilbur, and told Wilbur to calm down. Charlotte said that she would come up with a plan to save Wilbur. The next morning Fern tells her family all about the animals at the barn. She tells her parents exactly what the animals were saying, which implies that she can understand animal talk. Her mom gets very concerned, and says she is going to call Ferns doctor. Ferns dad just blows off the whole conversation like it wasnt a big deal. Later the next afternoon, Wilbur starts admiring Charlottes Web. He tells Charlotte that he thinks he could build a web just like hers if he wanted to do so. Charlotte knows that this is impossible and tells Wilbur to try. So Wilbur then climbs to the top of the manure pile, and jumps off hoping a string will come out of his butt and catch him. Naturally, this does not happen, and Wilbur lands flat on his face in the ground. His next brilliant idea is to tie a string that Templeton gave him to his tail, and then try the same thing again. Just like the first attempt, this one failed too. Wilbur finally gives up, and everyone including Fern laughs at him. Charlotte then cheers him up, and tells him to just lie down and relax. After a while of silence, Wilbur asks Charlotte how she plans on saving him from being Christmas dinner. Charlotte says she has not thoroughly thought of the plan yet, but she will think of one that will work. Wilbur is still very curious of how this is going to work, and keeps asking Charlotte many questions. Finally, Charlotte tells him not to worry, and just to do as hes told. She then tells him to eat well, stay healthy, and to get a lot of rest. Wilbur does as he is told, and falls asleep. In these last three paragraphs, the first human and animal interrelationship is between the Zuckermans and Wilbur. The Zuckermans just see Wilbur as a Christmas dinner. The reason they feed him and take care of him is not because they actually care about him; it is because they want a nice, big Christmas dinner. To me, this is so sad. I dont know how people could raise a pig and then just kill it and eat it I know this is what happens in real life, and it is how everyone gets their bacon and ham, but it is just so sad to me. The other human and animal interrelationship is between Fern and all the animals on the farm. This has been portrayed extremely well by the author herein. Fern can understand the animals when they talk to one another. She knows what all of them are saying, but I dont think the animals know she has this special gift. Ferns mom just thinks she is going crazy, but Ferns dad just blows it off like its nothing. I think this is probably one of the most important human and animal interrelationships throughout the story. During the next three chapters many events take place. First, Charlotte figures out a way so that she can trick the Zuckermans into not killing Wilbur. However, she knows she has to work fast because there isnt a lot of time. That day, Fern and Avery come down to the Zuckermans house for some blueberry pie. Avery brings a frog with him, which causes a disaster in the Zuckermans house.
