Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Summarize the chapter's arc, then name the central tension White develops between Wilbur's real, unchanged self and his manufactured fame, and evaluate whether White handles that tension honestly.
Discussion Questions
- Wilbur is the same pig throughout, yet one word turns him into a wonder people travel to see. What does this chapter suggest about how public value gets created, and do you find that suggestion true? Ground your answer in the way the people respond to the web.
- Amid a comic, triumphant chapter, White inserts a savage fish-fight into Charlotte's bedtime story and ends on her lullaby about 'the dung and the dark.' Why might these darker notes deserve as much attention as the public triumph, and what would the chapter mean without them? Use the words of the fish story and the lullaby.
