In the text Charlotte’s Web by E. B White there was great value in that work of literature. Although it is a kid’s book it had a huge theme that resonates with not only kids, but adults and those values still stand the same today. One of the morals in the book was friendship not just any friendship but true friendship and how important it is for us as people to choose good friends. Growing up I had to learn that everyone wasn’t my friend they didn’t have my best interest at heart. Some people were out to hurt me or had a hidden agenda such as hanging out with me to get closer to others. With age comes wisdom and I have learned not to call everyone a friend. In the novel Wilbur wanted a friend and he found that true friendship in Charlotte. …show more content…

Really?” cried Wilbur. Who’s going to save me? I am, “said Charlotte (51) She worked so hard to help save his life. She created new words in her web that described Wilbur and consoles him when he is down. She does all of this out of the goodness of her heart not for anything more and when Charlotte dies Wilbur looks after her kids not because he has to, but because of his loyalty to Charlotte. He loved Charlotte and valued her friendship and saving his life. “But you saved me, Charlotte, and I would gladly give my life for you- I really would.”(164) When someone you care about is in a dilemma it is hard for a real friend to sit a watch knowing that their friend is in need without trying to assist in anyway. I remember being Wilbur trying to fit in and looking for that real friend. It took me a while to have but now in my adult life I can say I have true friends that I can talk to and don’t just tell me what I want to hear. They also don’t judge me for the decisions I make in my life, but they stand by me and are their cheering me on every step of the way and will help pick me up when I fall.

Viorst employs rhetorical devices, such as contrast using anecdotes and parenthesis to include humor and evoke pathos to explore the nuances of friendships. Her purpose is to examine different friendships by reflecting on what makes a good friend and offering insight into how readers can identify and appreciate true friendships in their lives. She writes in a light-hearted and conversational tone to encourage Redbook readers, typically young adult women, to invest energy into meaningful friendships.

In the op-ed piece “A Change of Heart about Animals”, Jeremy Rifkin emphasizes the similarities between humans and animals by providing results on scientific research studies to illustrate that humans should be more empathetic towards animals. In addition, he further explains how research results have changed the ways humans perceived animals and indicates solutions that were taken by other countries and organizations to help improve and protect animal rights. Rifkin provides examples that demonstrate animals have emotions, conceptual abilities, self awareness, and a sense of individualism just like humans. For example, Pigs crave for affection and get depressed easily when isolated, two birds Betty and Abel have tool making skills, Koko

Victor loses his friends to death, and so does Walton while the creature never really “fulfilled his dream of being anyone’s true friend” (Jeray 69). This way the novel not only shows the importance of friendship and having companions but also the possible consequences of either being rejected by everyone or of losing beloved people partly even due to own
