Wilbur Friendship

Friendship can be a very rewarding and important part of life. Wilbur faces the possibility of death twice in the novel. Despite Wilbur coming close to death, he is saved each time. Without Fern’s love he would have been killed as a runt, and without Charlotte’s love he would be killed for Christmas dinner. Throughout the book, Fern and Charlotte develop a friendship with Wilbur.

For example, when he is asked to help save Wilbur’s life, he refuses at first, saying, “Let him die.” Later on, he agrees to pitch in, but only because he wants to keep eating Wilbur’s meals. Finally, Wilbur himself proved that he was a real friend. For example, at the end of the book Wilbur showed that he has learned the true meaning of friendship because he helped Charlotte.
