zwergel88 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Charlettes web is one of the saddest books ever. I remember watching the movie, when I was 8, or 9 and I cried my eyes out when the spider died.
voiciblanche Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 [quote name='Extra ecclesiam nulla salus' date='Sep 2 2005, 02:42 PM']the real question is this: the Bacon is it crunchy or chewy? how do y'all like your bacon?

And cruncy bacon, fo sho. There's just something .... wrong about soggy bacon. I like it nice and crisp.

FlyLikeABird Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Bacon stiff but chewy. Like Jerky!! : As for the book, I thouroughly enjoyed it and the ending was both sad and happy.

Andrea348 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 this thread is funny......i just bought Charlotte's Web on DVD last week....haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet.
Specter Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer: Ham? Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

homeschoolmom Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 Okay... I had to follow up with this thread. Our children's book club finished Charlotte's Web and started reading Little House in the Big Woods... And the very first chapter goes into great detail about butchering the pig for the winter. I just thought that they were oddly juxaposed... Mary and Laura are batting around an inflated pig bladder and I'm thinking, "poor Wilber"... "Gee Mom, I guess that pig didn't have a gray spider to save [i]his[/i] butt."
Jaime Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The book scares me. I don't like spiders. In fact the only two things that I'm afraid of are spiders intimacy Which makes Wilbur's role terrifying.

argent_paladin Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Charlotte's Web is one of my all time favorite movies (and I love the book). The music is Teerriiffiicccc! And the voices are great. I had a crush on Fern when I was a kid.
photosynthesis Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 HSmom - your kids are so lucky! we never read those books in school... i had to read them all on my own now you are making me want to reread Charlotte's Web. E.B. White was such a brilliant writer. We are reading his book, "The Elements of Style" for my journalism class...which is giving me SO MUCH homework... but i don't want to do my homework, i want to read kid's books
Totus Tuus Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Just don't name the bacon "wilbur" and you'll be fine.
