When the villagers found out the spider was being greedy the villagers pulled his webs

As children make transitions throughout their life, they can determine what kind of person they want to be. They are given the frame work from their parents or parent figures, but ultimately they have to make choices that will determine who they become. As children grow up their parent figure won’t always be there to tell them the right choice to make or how to act, but they can use what their parents have taught them to think about those choices. The actual choice which is all that matters is up to them to make and even if they make the choice that their parents had taught them to make they still made it and therefor are creating their own identity. The author of “Babe the Gallant Pig” uses a pig and a dog as the child and the parent figures to show the dynamic on how children are responsible for creating their own identity and why they are forced to do it with little help from their parents.
