Charlotte Web entry.




The moment we meet the character Charlotte in the book ''Charlottes Web'', we know she is going to be a important friend and companion in the life of Wilbur, but we don't realize yet how much more she has to offer than good humor and play. Than we start to see some change in the way she treats Wilbur and feels for him.
             The first notice we see of Charlottes change is when she switches from a friend, on the same social level with Wilbur to a more teacher/tutor oriented figure in Wilburs life. She begans to teach Wilbur about life, herself, and how to act in public, and most memorable of all, she teaches Wilbur new words that he doesn't understand and of course Charlotte does. This is where the reader starts to see Charlotte taking a more serious role.
            At this point Charlotte is taking on her last and most important role, we see she is the last chance Wilbur has of staying alive past winter when Zuckerman plans on killing Wilbur for meat. She does this by writing complementing remarks about the pig in her web. During her metamorphis through her three roles she plays, she manages to be both a friend and teacher, along with Wilburs life saver in the end.
