Why does it matter
Who said it did
Maybe it was me
Who made that decision
Because the decision is me
Why does it matter what he
Thinks, she
Thinks, they
Think
Why does it affect me
Thoughts are for
Those who think them
Does it change me because I know
He hates
Me, I annoy
Her, to them I'm
Weird
To me
I'm me
And me is happy,
The way me is
chimney corners

Entry #5: Theme From Charlotte's Web: Wilbur's Positive Attitude
The book Charlotte's Web by E.B. White has an important theme. Positivity. Wilbur is the main source of it. Unlike the other characters, he is always able to find the best in every situation. Wilbur doesn't quit!
An example is when he tries to escape and fails. When he is back in his pen, he decides that he his happier in the comfort of his own home. Wilbur decided that he could live a happy life in the pen, as opposed to a hard life in the unknown of the world.
Another example is when Wilbur tried to spin a web. He decided that he could do anything if he put his mind to it. In the book, Wilbur says, "I could spin as web if I tried. I've just never tried." even though Wilbur is a young pig, and this could make him seem naive, it is his way of saying anything is possible.
This theme of positivity, as well as playing a big roll in the story, it is a good lesson for people to learn; especially young kids. Even though most people probably aren't looking for themes, and probably won't consciously find any, themes probably register in their minds. It will stick in their minds that Wilbur takes risks and doesn't let barriers let him down.
Wilbur is a very positive character. he has taught me, and the other millions of people who have read Charlotte's Web a valuable lesson. He doesn't let the other animals change his way of life, like we shouldn't change for people. He knows how to make the best of every situation. He lives his life to its fullest.
