For homework, please read Chapters 11-14 of Charlotte’s Web.

 

Respond to the following question on the forum:

To save Wilbur’s life, Charlotte thinks of a marvelous idea. What is this idea? How would you have felt if you didn’t know Charlotte was behind all of this- would you think it was a miracle?

 

Please also come prepared to discuss your favorite scene from Chapters 11-14, and explain why it is your favorite. You do not need to write this on the forum.

 

Translate the following text from Ch. 11 into Chinese.

“ A miracle has happened on this farm. There is a large spider’s web in the doorway of the barn cellar, right over the pigpen, and when Lurvy went to feed the pig this morning, he noticed the web because it was foggy, and you know how a spider’s web looks very distinct in a fog. And right spang in the middle of the web there were the words “Some pig”. The words were woven right into the web. They were actually part of the web, Edith.”

1.Charlotte spinned some webs with great words such as good pig and terrific to characterize Wilbur as a different pig that deserves to live better. This action attracted many people in town and brought the homers benefits and visitors. And the homers realized that the pig need to be cherished. This is the whole idea.

 

2.For the first time Charlotte made the web, I would think it was a miracle, because it is unusual to see words on a natrual web and the odd of this incident happening is very tiny. I don't understand why it happens and I find no way to explain it, so it is our instinct to regard the mystery that I cannot explain as a miracle or a coincidence . But if this happened again, I would doubt whether this web is artificial or let some scientists study what's wrong with the spider.
