I found Wilbur to be very whiny and selfish, and Charlotte deserved more recognition and love. The people are stupid and think the pig is great because the spider did something. It’s almost like…picture this: there is a piece of artwork, a painting, of a gorgeously detailed shoe. On one side is the artist. On the other is the shoe in real life. People see the painting and do to the real shoe and say, “wow! How magnificent is this shoe?!” And the artist just stands there without anyone acknowledging them. Then someone says “this painting is beautiful! How’d it come to be? Maybe the artist?” And then someone else says “don’t be ridiculous! It’s a miracle! Look at this shoe!” It’s stupid. 

I will say that I did think the writing was quite good. I liked the idea of carefully choosing words to say a lot and the power of words.
