An Essay on Charlotte’s Web In Charlotte’s Web, by E.B. White, a pig named Wilbur gets a chance at life thanks to a little girl named. Fern, and a spider named Charlotte. The writer shows that a real friend will help you even if he or she has nothing to get from doing so. Throughout the book, Charlotte is always willing to help Wilbur. She spins (吐丝) words into her web to save Wibur’s life, even though it is tiring and difficult for her. Charlotte is a true friend. She helps Wilbur for one reason only—because she cares about him. Templeton, the rat, on the other hand, is not a real friend to Wilbur. Templeton is only willing to lend a hand when there is something in it for him. When he is asked to help save Wilbur’s life, he says no at first, saying, “Let him die.” Later on, he agrees to help, but only because he wants to keep eating Wibur’s meals. At the end of the book, Wilbur shows that he has learned the true meaning of friendship. He helps Charlotte by taking her egg sac back to the barn, where he knows her babies will be safe. He does this deed not for selfish reasons, but out of concern for his friend. In Charlotte’s Web, the author shows that a real friend will help you even if he or she has nothing to get from doing so. Reading this book made me realize how important it is to help others. Being a good friend means being there when you are needed. | ● The book title is italicized (斜体). ● In the introduction, you can write a short summary of the book. ● You can share a theme from the book. ● You can give an example that illustrates the theme. ● After that, you give details (细节) about the example. ● A 2nd example and the details. ● A 3nd example and the details. ● You can also explain what the theme means to you. |
