1 Charlotte’s web Sep Action and The book begins with a family Mr. and Mrs. Arable. Mr. Arable father of his daughter Fern,
Pages 1-10 28th- adventure wanted to kill a newborn pig because it was the smallest and with less weight, the father
Oct 2nd thought that due to its condition the pig was going to die, then his crying daughter told his
father not to kill him because he was not sure that the pig would actually die. The father
agreed not to kill him in exchange for Fern taking care of the pig and feeding it so that he
would know the responsibility of caring for a living being and the work that goes into it.

At lunch the pope came with a box and put it in the place where Fern sat, she lowered with
her watery eyes and saw the box with the pig, immediately kissed her mother and father.
Every day she took care of him and fed him so she decided to call him Wilbur. As Wilbur
grew older and older, Mr. Arable made a pen for him outside his house. Wilbur accompanied

Fern everywhere, very good memories passed until he began to eat more and grow, then
Fern's father decided that it was time to kill him.

2 Charlotte’s web Oct 5th Action and Mrs. Arable intervened, and they decided that the best thing to do would be to take him to
Pages 11-20 -9th adventure Uncle Homer's farm to raise him, whereupon Fern got in the way and began to cry.
Fern asked how much money the father wanted for her to stay with Wilbur, the father told
him that he would sell pork for six dollars and to ask the uncle if he accepted the deal, Fern
called the uncle on the phone and told him the price with what which the uncle accepted
for the little money they sold to Wilbur.

Mr. and Mrs. Arable decided to sell it to Uncle Homer. The morning Wilbur was taken to the
Zuckerman farm, Wilbur said the barn smelled very bad and smelled especially of hay. In
that place surrounded by tools, he got to know the farm animals.

3 Charlotte’s Oct Action and

web 12th - adventure Wilbur's new place was downstairs placed on the lower deck; it was under the cows with a
Pages 21-30 16th lot of manure. Mr. Zuckerman put it there thinking it was a good place for a pig, Fern
nevertheless went to look for Wilbur every day to play with him, but, those days are over
since Fern stopped visiting him because he was going to school.

Wilbur began to feel lonely and there he met a goose (Goose) who told him that he could
escape from the farm through loose boards, Wilbur escaped, the goose told him to escape
into the forest and go free, Wilbur doubted Since he was too young to go to know the new
world, at that moment Mr. Zuckerman realized that the pig had escaped and he decided to
catch it along with two other helpers. The two assistants tried to catch him, but Wilbur
eluded them thanks to the instructions of the goose, finally all the farm animals found out
about that escape. Finally, Mr. Zuckerman took a rubbish bin to attract wilbur, but the goose
told him no since it was a trick, wilbur did not hear him and decided to go to Mr. Zuckerman
with the food bin and finally they caught him and repaired the woods where wilbur had

escaped. Mr. Zuckerman told him that he was a good pig with which Wilbur was happy and
knew that he was actually too young to go out to see new place.

4 Charlotte’s Oct Action and The next day it was raining quite a bit. Wilbur felt sad since all his plans had been ruined,
web 19th - adventure among his plans were to eat, sleep, see the sheep, talk with a friend named Templeton who
Pages 31-40 23rd was a rat that lived under wheat among other things. Wilbur was lonely and did not eat that
day, which seemed very strange to Lurvy, one of the farm employees. Wilbur told the farm
animals that they could play with him since he was very bored, but they said no because
they had things to do and others that he was a simple pig and they did not want to waste
time. He went to see Templenton the rat and asked him if he wanted to play with him, but
Templenton did not know what it was to play since rats only ate, spied and hid. Templenton
had built a tunnel and could be transported anywhere on the farm, which wilbur envied him.

Lurvy, the farm employee, told Mr. Zuckerman that something had happened to the pig
since he was not eating and was very sad, so Mr. Zuckerman sent him to give the pig
medicine. Wilbur was very depressed as night fell, then he heard a voice from the darkness
that told him that she could be his friend with which Wilbur was happy, but he could not
see where that voice came from because of the darkness with which the voice He replied
that he would know tomorrow with the sunrise.

5 Charlotte’s Oct Action and That same night, Wilbur could not sleep as he had many things on his mind, he woke up very
web 26th - adventure often and could also hear the noise of other animals such as Templeton (the rat) made a lot
Pages 41-50 30th of noise making a tunnel which was annoying to Wilbur. He fell asleep again, but he woke
up because the Goose (Ganzo) was making a lot of noise, he asked him the time and he
realized that it was very early and he started talking to the Goose for a long time until he fell
asleep.
The next morning Wilbur got up very early since he was very intrigued to know who his new
friend was, he ate the waste that Lurvy (farm helper) had left him and returned to the stable
where he heard a voice in the distance that told him Good morning, Wilbur did not know it

was good morning so the voice told him its meaning. Then the voice told him to look at the
corner of the barn and there was a large cobweb and there was a spider. The spider
introduced herself and said that her name was Carlota and suddenly she caught a fly that
was trapped in its net, so Wilbur was scared and thought that his new friend was very bad,
Carlota told him that that was her way of life and that He had to hunt any insects that fell
into his net in order to survive, but Wilbur was very upset that Carlota killed insects, but
then Carlota told him that if he did not hunt insects they would reproduce and end the
planet.
