The conjecture of Charlotte's Web

The conjecture of Charlotte's Web

Cover conjecture

Seeing the title, "Charlotte's Web," I wondered: Who is Charlotte? What is his net used for? Is it used for fishing?

The color of the cover is mango yellow, and the yellow represents warmth and hope, is this a warm novel?

The cover illustration is a silhouette of a pig with a green background, is it the protagonist of the novel? Is it Charlotte? But what can pigs do with nets?

In the part of the pig's belly, there is a little girl dressed in red, who is she? Why would she hold the piglet in her arms? Could it be her pet?

The little girl holds a pig in her arms, is this pig and the silhouette pig the same?

Behind the little girl was a goose, and he was opening his flat mouth as if he were saying something?

To the right of the little girl, there was a brown-gray sheep.

Look closely, the girl, the pig, the goose, the sheep in the girl's arms, their eyes, all staring in the same direction! In the air directly in front of the girl's eyes, there was a gray spider! It is so concerned, it will not be the protagonist, right? Could it be Charlotte? Because, spiders weave webs! If so, isn't the spider web what catches flies and mosquitoes?

What is the relationship between girls, pigs, geese, sheep in girls' arms, sheep, and spiders that are in interest? What kind of story will happen to them?

Since the protagonist is an animal, then this novel should be an animal novel! Could it be a warm and hopeful story of harmony between humans and animals? With this question in mind, I found the synopsis of the story in the front of the mouth.

Synopsis

In the barn of the Zuckerman family, a group of animals live happily, among which Wilbur the Pig and Charlotte the Spider form the most sincere friendship. However, one of the ugliest pieces of news shattered the calm of the barn: Wilbur's future fate was to become bacon ham. As a pig, the grief-stricken and desperate Wilbur seemed to be able to accept the fate of being slaughtered, but charlotte, who seemed small, said, "I will save you." So Charlotte used her own silk to weave a network text on the pig pen, which was regarded as a miracle by mankind, completely reversed Wilbur's fate, and finally let him win a special prize in the contest of the bazaar, and a peaceful future. But at this time, Charlotte's fate came to an end...

Looking at the synopsis, I started a new round of brainstorming: I guessed that the girl in the red T-shirt should be Zuckerman. The little pig in her arms was called Wilbur. Charlotte was the gray spider. In order to save Wilbur, Charlotte weaves a network of words with silk, thus reversing Wilbur's fate. The story is indeed hopeful, full of love, so warm!

But at this time, Charlotte's fate came to an end... Isn't that a tragedy? Is the ending really that simple? Ellipses, what is omitted? It's worth exploring a thing or two in the book!

About the Author

Author, [Beauty] E · B. White. Ren Dissolve, Translation. Published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House.

Since this is a warm and loving animal novel, what about the author? I found the author profile in the back of the mouth.

E· B. White (1899–1985) was one of the most prominent American essay writers of the twentieth century. As the main contributor to The New Yorker, White single-handedly laid the far-reaching "New Yorker style." White has an attitude of "facing complexity and keeping joy in the face of complexity" for everything in the world, and his personality charm is as high as the cultivation of words. In addition to his lifelong essays and Elements of Style, which laid the standard for contemporary American English writing, he wrote three books for children: "Little Brother Mouse", "Charlotte's Web" and "The Trumpet-Blowing Swan", which has been hailed as "the most read and beloved fairy tale of the twentieth century".

Oh, it turns out, White was an essayist, and the most outstanding essayist in America of the twentieth century! He also pioneered the "New Yorker style." The attitude of "facing complexity and keeping happy", it is estimated that it is this positive attitude to life that has made a warm and loving animal novel.

His major works include essays, Elements of Style, as well as Little Brother Mouse, Charlotte's Web, and The Swan Who Blew the Trumpet. These three animal novels have been hailed as "the most read and beloved fairy tales of the twentieth century".

Back cover conjecture

On the back cover is a book review of the book.

The most beloved stylist of the twentieth century, he wrote the most beloved fairy tale of the twentieth century. It is proud to be the first of the "Ten Greatest Children's Literature Masterpieces in America".

E· B. White was a great stylist. The purity of his literary style is no less pure in our language than anyone else's. It is unique, colloquial, clear, natural, completely American, and extremely beautiful. His people are immortal, and his words transcend time and space.

This is the evaluation of White by William Shaun, the former editor-in-chief of "The New Yorker", and this evaluation is so high! It seems that White's style is pure, and the language is unique, colloquial, clear, natural, completely American, and extremely beautiful. Why say "His people are immortal, and his words transcend time and space." ”？ Does White's writing really have such a big charm?

This is truly a treasure book. I think that in an ideal world, there should be only two kinds of people: those who have read Charlotte's Web; and those who will read Charlotte's Web. Sometimes, when you wake up in the middle of the night and touch your chest and still jump, you will be happy, because to be alive means to be able to read Charlotte's Net again, and to read Charlotte's Net means to be alive.

This is Yan Feng's evaluation of this novel, feeling that if you don't read this novel, it seems as if you have lived in vain! Does "Charlotte's Web" really have so much magic?

Such a high book review has aroused my desire to read!

Now, must, immediately, immediately, pick up the book and read it!
