brings the egg sac home for Charlotte's sake and he is glad to see her next generation later in spring. You may find it ridiculous to come across such unusual friendship - friendship between a spider and a pig. They belong to two animal species which are worlds apart. Spiders are cold-blooded and always occupy dark corners, capturing insects; while pigs are mammals that are used to living under warm sunlight and hoping to be fed. See the difference? However, this story

The children’s novel Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White is not only an esteemed story of friendship, it also offers an illustration for what White considers to be good writing. Writing is like manufacturing textiles or creating a web, as it is something that takes skill to be woven and crafted. Although Charlotte’s Web is introduced to children in order to provide them with a heartfelt story of friendship and a base to strengthen their reading skills, the novel also explicates what it takes to be a

When I woke up that beautiful Saturday morning I remembered that my cousin was coming over to help decorate our barn for Halloween. She had to do it for a service project with a friend; also she had to work for five hours. I was excited at first but then I remembered the ladders. “ Here are all the decorations that I want up,” Mom said, “and you have to put all of the garland up high so that none of the teenagers will knock them down.” “That is a lot of garland.

The Unwelcomed Visitor Nights use to be peaceful until Auggie decided to come for an extended visit. At first he wasn’t bothersome but, as the weeks went on, the more annoying he became.

Anxiety, or Auggie as it has come to be known at our house, that exasperating voice in my husband’s head that creates apprehension and fear of impending doom. There have been many discussions concerning Auggie over the years, and we have come to the same

farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn as

farmhouse was destroyed, bombed in fact, killing the manager and half of the bulls. This all happened twice actually. Thirty years apart, on the exact same date. Malbork farm was the name of the cattle farm. All the Cows and Bulls had gathered in the barn, for Avraham's speech, before the food. The Day of Atonement (or less formally known on the farm as “Redemption Day on the farm”), was a fast day. So on the eve of Redemption day, there would be a big feast. Avraham began his speech, the loud booming

On a beautiful Saturday morning on a Kansas farm,which smelled strongly of manure and hay there was a massive commotion.What was the cause of the commotion you may ask, it was feeding time, the day where all the farm animals got fed corn and vegetables and occasionally decent people food such as pudding and Peter the pig’s favorite bread.Peter was a pig, he was a very bright pig too,all the farm animals thought pigs were greedy,foul smelling and easily manipulated,but of course it was not true.Even

Roughly a century after Napoleon’s rule of Animal Farm, a young pig stumbled upon a dusty leather-bound diary hidden away in the straw-strewn loft of the ramshackle barn. The same barn which held those legendary meetings from long before. With a tentative trotter, the youngster filed through the delicate pages, unconvering a story which to that point had remained untold. The story of a raven from the days of old and his quest to lead his animal brethren to the religious truth unfolded before the

Curly’s Wife Curlys Wife is a very powerful and yet powerless character within the novel Of Mice and Men as Steinbeck uses her to reflect the prejudice against women in the 1930s since they had very little rights.
