Appreciating E.B White

        Reading Charlotte's Web has really made me appreciate the way E.B White wrote Charlotte's and the way he describes the characters.
        The way White just it seems magically creates similes and metaphors reminds me of a beautifully written poem. He's able to make Charlotte's Web not too long but at the same he's able to the characters in depth. Any character that is mentioned more than once is described well enough that you know all about their personality and traits. Even if he intended to or not.
        He talks about how the sheep are ignorant and annoying, the goose stutters, and Templeton has a big appetite. Charlotte's Web has made me appreciate a different type of literature. The pictures (Although not by him) go really well with the story. Charlotte's Web is an amazing book.

  1. I think your blog is really good because you explained why the author wanted to do this format and why the animals talk.
