"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.
