"Templeton, a hero?"

     I think that everyone believes that Charlotte and Wilbur are the hero's but i disagree.  All Charlotte did was mentor Wilbur into becoming a better person, and write things on her web.  And all Wibur did was whine and complain, and towards the end of the book grow into the pig Charlotte taught him to be.  But really i believe that Templeton is the hero.  Templeton is a shape shifter in a way, but more of a hero in another way.  He has a bad reputation which makews him seem like the bad guy, like the shadow.  But towards the end of the book you realize that he has a kind heart and does the right things without being asked.  Although he sometimes can be self-centered, not all hero's have to be perfect.  Without Templeton in the story, it would be shoter and sadder.  Without Templeton and his rotten egg, Charlotte would have been long dead, and so would Wilbur.  Because with Charlotte gone Wilbur's life would be soon gone for, Charlotte cannot write words on her web while she is dead, plus she wouldn't have been able to lay her eggs.  If Templeton didn't bite Wilbur's tail, then Wilbur would have been an embarassment, not living up to his words.  Or if Templeton didn't bring back magazine clippings for Charlotte, or if he hadn't helped Wilbur fetch Charlottes web.  Although  Templeton plays bad, he has a really kind heart, and i think that the only one who didn't judge him by his cover was Charlotte.  She seemed to be the only one who knew that he had good potential as well as a good heart.

"Some Pig"

   Ever since Charlotte has been writing things on her web, Wilbur's life has changed drastically.  From on the verge of death to the pig that everyone wants to see.  As charlotte wrote more words on her web, the prouder Mr. Zuckerman became, and the more people came to see Wilbur and the new word on the web.  And when you become proud of something you want to show it off to everyone, and show how well you treat it and how nice it looks.  And that is exacly what Mr. Zuckerman decided to do.  He gave Wilbur more food, and replaced the horse manure in his pen with clean hay.  But wouldnt you do that if you thought god was giving you a sign?  Maybe or maybe not?  It may be to your liking but would it be to Wilbur's?
   While Mr. Zuckerman replaces Wilbur's habitat he doesn't realize that Wilbur is not fond of it.  And he doesn't realize that he would be putting Charlottes life at risk, but who would?  Because Mr. Zuckerman removed most of the cow manure Charlotte may be losing her food source.  Earlier in the book she stated that she needed the smell of manre to attract her food (bugs and insects).  But with the smell mellowing down her food will get less and less and she might starve.  But luckily that has not happened yet, for Mr. Zuckerman left a good amount of manure in Wilbur's pen.
   Like almost all adults in this book, they are blind to see that Wilbur is not the miracle, Charlotte is.  All Wilbur tends to do is reflect the words that Charlotte has written.  And he is the one that gets praised and fame, not Charlotte.  That just goes to show you what type of heart that Charlotte has.  She gave and sacrificed her time for Wilbur, and would sacrifice her life as well.  She has devoted so much work and time to his cause and has gotten nothing in return.  And Wilbur has yet to realize what a great friend he has, and how much he is going to miss her when she is gone.

"You don't know what you've got till it's gone..."

  Freedom is a big word. It is something that people have fought for, and died for, it is something that people have risked everything for just to make a difference. Freedom is something that everyone wants, and everyone will do whatever it takes to get it. But when you get it is it too much to handle, do you even know what to do with it? The world can be big, especially if you're a little pig, so vunerable, so small, and so confused with what he really wants, and what he really wants most.
  Wilbur is constantly complaining about his pen, how it's too small, he needs more space, and that he wants to roam around like before with fern. So when oppurtunity came knocking at the door he took it. Pushing a loose board Wilbur stepped into his new world of freedom. Wilbur was free at last, and it was just what he wanted, or was it?
  Wilburs short moment of freedom only lasted a couple minutes, but it was full of excitement for everyone, but maybe not Wilbur. The world was so big for Wilbur that he didn't know what to do. So after a second of just standing there everyone knew of Wilbur's disapearence. After minutes of running and chasing Wilbur finally gave up for the old bucket trick.  But he didnt really care that he was back in his pen, he was just happy that he was back. because there is no place like home, and you really dont know what you've got till it's gone.
