A: I read my first book in English, which was Charlotte’s Web. It’s an amazing book. This book refers about one family, who living in a farm. They are Mr. and Mrs. Arable. They have two children/kids, a girl and a boy. They have animals in their farm. When Mrs. Arable prepared the breakfast for her daughter help her. First saw his father left went to the pig pen. She asked her mother where her father go ax. At that moment, her mother say the pig born a little pig. She explained one of them is ran, it’s too difficult that this pig survive. Your father want to kill him. Fern went crazy and went to catch her father. “Where you go and why you want to kill that pig”. Her father said “you know nothing about pigs”. She says “if I born weak and fragile, you kill me?… It’s an animal who have life.” That make him to think about… finally he decides don’t kill that pig and give the pig to Fern. Fern needs to give him food with bottle. And she gave the food everyday in the morning, afternoon, and night. When she isn’t in school, her mother feed the pig. She was very happy and it became… play with him and pick up him and she put him in the cart with the doll, sometimes the pig sleeps in his cart.

One day, when the pig grew up a little bit more, they can to have him in the home. They need to do something with him. Mr. Arable said “I will make some box outside for him because there aren’t space for him”. Fern was a bit sad because she thought outside he can’t to have a cold at night. But her father say “no, it’s ok I’ll put some straw so you can see him this afternoon. You can see Wilber, what he does.” She went there at night, she covered with the straw so the night isn’t cold for him. And then, when Wilber has 2 months, her father told her again” Wilber is too big, they can’t have too many”. Her father gave some idea for her, which was to call his uncle who has one farm very near to his farm. Mr. Arable say “You can ask to your uncle and you sell that”. She sold Wilber for 6 dollars. Finally, they sold that and Fern went there everyday and they sit near to the pig pen and too see him hours and hours after school. She spend a lot of time with Wilber, and her mother say “you need to do other things and not spend all the time in that farm.”

The goose told him “you can escape”. You can break the wooden board and go out where you want… you can free. Wilber did that and he is in the orchard. When they ran to catch him, the animals told him to go to the woods. He baited Wilber with food, and made Wilber go into the pen.

Finally, he meet Charlotte, for him very interesting friend and he was very excited with her because Charlotte was very clever and she protects him. Charlotte think about how to help him in the winter, and finally she get the family’s don’t kill him. Finally, Charlotte saves Wilbur’s life.
