Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Summarize the chapter from Wilbur waking to find the egg sac through the family's drive to the judges' booth. Then name the central tension White develops between Charlotte's hidden decline and the public triumph rising around Wilbur, and assess how honestly he holds the two together.
Discussion Questions
- Charlotte names her egg sac, not the web that has saved Wilbur, her 'great work' and 'the finest thing I have ever made.' Construct an argument about what this ranking reveals about how Charlotte values creation against rescue. Use Charlotte's own words about the egg sac to support your reasoning.
- Charlotte's web has preserved a life; her egg sac promises lives she will never meet. Make a claim about which has the stronger claim to be her finest work, then answer the strongest objection to your claim. Use details from this chapter to support your reasoning.
