Charlotte’s Web
"The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been small at birth, would you have killed me?"---Fern Arable (P.3)
"Salutations!"---Charlotte (P.35)
"Well, I don't like to spread bad news, but they're fattening you up because they're going to kill you, that's why."---the oldest sheep (P.49)
"Fern spends entirely too much time in the Zuckermans' barn. It doesn't seem normal."---Mrs. Arable (P.107)
"I don't understand it. But for that matter I don't understand how a spider learned to spin a web in the first place. When the words appeared, everybody said they were a miracle. But nobody pointed out that the web itself is a miracle."---Dr. Dorian. (P.108-109)
"I have decided to take the pig to the County Fair on September sixth. Make the crate large and paint it green with gold letters!"---Mr. Zuckerman (P.96)
"We're staying quietly-ietly-ietly at home. Only Wilbur-ilbur-ilbur is going to the Fair."---the goose. (P.122)
"I am going to give that pig a buttermilk bath."---Mrs. Zuckerman. (P.120)
"Sure I'm a spring pig. What did you think I was, a spring chicken?"---Uncle (P.134)
"Please, please, please, Templeton, climb up and get the egg sac."---Wilbur (P.166)
- After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. (P.164)
- Name---something not too long, not too fancy, and not too dumb. (P.182)
