Reading and Writing Assignment 8/13/15 Class

    Dr. Dorian is a wise man. He knows that people don't know everything. And of course he is right. Animals can talk to each others, the old sheep knows almost everything about the farm, Templeton can find lots of things and Charlotte can write English words on her web. Charlotte is very important, she wrote words on her web to make people will not kill Wilbur. I like Charlotte's character.

    At first, she is friendly. When Wilbur knows that she drinks bugs' blood, he said she is so cruel, but Charlotte still talk to him very kindly. And that makes her have many friends.

   Then, she is clever. She had the great idea which saved wilbur's life:write words on her web. She is very intelligent.

    At last, she is very firm. When she is nearly die, she is still making web for wilbur. She want to save wilbur's life at first, and she keep doing it until she die. So she is very firm.

    Because Charlotte is very friendly, clever and firm, so I like her very much.

 Mark, this is just great! I like the introduction. I like the way you generally describe the characters and then zero in on Charlotte. You have definitely made your admiration for Charlotte very concrete and specific. And I'm impressed by how nicely you use the transitions to move the reader's understanding along. I will send you some further comments via e-mail. But this is really very  good work! 

Charlotte is a good intimate. She knows everything about Wilbur. When her friend is in difficulty, she will do anything for her friend. Like Wilbur knows he is going to dead, she helps Wilbur not dead. Even she lost her life; Charlotte will not refuse under any circumstances. This is what a good friend should do and will do. Charlotte will accompany Wilbur if he is boring, she will comfort Wilbur if he is sad. She will tell Wilbur everything, everything Wilbur doesn’t know. When Wilbur have some questions or anything, he will find Charlotte and ask her, and Charlotte will always give him an answer.

This is really lovely and heartfelt. I like how specifically you define your opening sentence with details from the book.  I will send you some further comments via e-mail about using die versus dead. But this is a lovely piece of work. I can hear a real writer's voice within it, and it is very much your own. 

Hello，Laraine

    Rat Templeton is a really big glutton.He loves food so much. When Wilbur is going to the Fair, the old sheep wants Temploton to go with him and help. At first Templeton says no,he won't use his times for those things. When the old sheep point there is many delicious food at night in the Fair, Templeton says yes very fast. In chapter 21, Charlotte is so weak and going to dead, Wilbur asks Templeton to get Charlotte's egg sac. But Templeton refuse. When Wilbur promise to him that after this his meals will let Templeton eat first Templeton helps him get the egg sac.  Templeton's  thinking changes so fast when there is food in any event that need his help. For those,How can't he be a glutton？

Like Wilbur, your paragraph is "terrific." You make an excellent case for Templeton being a glutton. And you are right on the mark: Templeton can change really quickly if there is food involved, and that's typical of a glutton.  Great work Enya!
