My Thoughts

This is my first time reading CHARLOTTE’S WEB. I’ve always steered clear of it as well as any of the movies because I have severe arachnophobia. I decided to try to ignore my fear and give this classic story a go.

As I read, I had to cover the pictures of Charlotte with my hand because the illustrations were just a little too life-like. Also, imagining 500+ baby spiders floating along in the wind is enough to give me nightmares. Surprisingly, however, I did end up enjoying the story. Charlotte’s love for and friendship toward Wilbur was really sweet and I can only wish to have my own friend as devoted and loyal as Charlotte was to Wilbur.

I’m glad I gave the story a chance. I probably won’t be rereading it any time soon, though, lol.
