People usually call a crisis a worrying big event that suddenly interrupts the continuous life process. These crises are critical moments for making the final decision. Threats can turn into disasters at any time. Disease crisis will lead to death, marriage crisis will lead to divorce, economic crisis will lead to total collapse and so on. But try your best, these disasters can be prevented.
The story takes place in Fern's pigsty. A settled pig was born in the pigsty. What is a resident pig? Refers to a lean pig, which is stunted and will not grow well. Therefore, Fern's father decided to end the pig's fate early with an axe. At this moment, Finn appeared. She is a very compassionate girl. After hearing this, she felt very sad and took immediate action to persuade her father to keep the little pig. Wilbur's death crisis at birth was changed by Fern's kindness. We can understand the crisis as an opportunity to start a new starting point. The more serious the crisis, the greater the determination to get through it, and the more comfortable the fresh feeling of starting over after the crisis. From this moment on, it was doomed to its extraordinary fate.
What kind of girl is she, Vern? She is kind and compassionate. This quality is highlighted in her series of actions to save Wilbur. If she hadn't tried to stop it, the pig might have been in danger of death. Fern's appearance changed the fate of pigs. This matter can be called a major crisis for piggy. Fern took good care of Wilbur after saving him. Feed it, give it a nice name, pet it and take it out for a walk and play. It can be said that for Wilbur, Fern is the first companion in life. In the process of accompanying each other, they gave each other warmth and love. Because of the care of love, the thin little life began to thrive, which is not a new starting point after a life-and-death crisis.
Seeing Fern from a child's perspective reminds me of my daughter's love for animals. The author is very good at grasping some sexual characteristics of children-love for animals, and portraying them in detail. For children who can't keep pets, in the process of reading these plots, fairy tales are used to satisfy their inner desires. For children with pets, it will also cause a sense of * * * because the story description fits their own behavior. Therefore, different children will have different experiences when reading.
(2) Wilbur
Wilbur was born a pig, thin and short. From an adult's point of view, it is obviously not cost-effective to raise such poultry. So there is the opening picture of dad killing pigs with an axe, and Finn stops dad. In the eyes of children, this is a small life, and it cannot be killed because of its weakness. Fern looks at this matter from the perspective of life and sticks to his own opinion. As a result, the pig was rescued and had its own name-Wilbur.
The story begins with conflict. This kind of conflict shows that in daily life, parents and children often hold different views when they look at the same thing. Will parents listen carefully and understand their children's views and practices? Although the author wrote a fairy tale, he did not break away from the real life scene, and such details were handled in place.
Wilbur is a spring pig, which means that this kind of pig was born in spring and will be sold at five weeks old. Wilbur is not only a little pig at this time, but also her partner to Fern. So Finn couldn't help crying. Mother suggested at this moment: sell Wilbur to his uncle's house. So Wilbur moved from his home under the apple tree to Homer's barn.
Wilbur's life track can be divided into two parts: the first part is the time when he was a child with Fern, and Fern's home is his home. Wilbur grew up carefree under Fern's careful care. The second part is that Wilbur came to Homer's barn, took root here and started an independent life. Wilbur grew up like a child.
The carefree time spent at home in childhood gives people a sense of security, and parents care and love their children. But after school, children began to face the outside world alone, studying, living and socializing. Take home as a foothold, expand outward and go to a strange world. The book used a lot of space to describe Wilbur's psychological feelings when he came to a new environment. Just like when a child first enters school, it has the same effect in the face of all kinds of inadaptability of strange teachers and classmates.
For Wilbur, this is a new challenge. Fortunately, Finn comes to the barn to see Wilbur every day when he is free. For Wilbur, this is a kind of psychological comfort, which can make him feel safe enough. In the new environment, there are many small animals, such as geese, sheep, cows and mice. However, Wilbur still felt lonely and bored. He is eager to experience the outside world and doesn't want to be locked in a pigsty. Why do you feel lonely? The little animal is busy and has no time to play with him. Wilbur doesn't have any friends. Wilbur at this time is a child's inner reflection.
Many primary school children began to build their own inner world and engage in social activities. In this process, you may encounter a series of new problems, such as not finding friends, good friends not playing with themselves, and conflicts with friends. These are the experiences of children in the growth stage. This kind of experience is independent of people's will and often runs counter to people's will. How should the child's heart react? If the child is reading this book, such a plot description just fits his deep desire for friendship. So, how can we not be lonely? Wilbur met the best friend in his life-Charlotte. Charlotte is willing to be friends with him. Such a plot arrangement seems to imply that children will always meet people who like you and want to be friends with you as long as they wait patiently. Having no friends now doesn't mean having no friends in the future. Meeting good friends sometimes takes some time and patience.
3) Wilbur and Charlotte
Wilbur's early daily life was mainly beer and skittles. Finn is the most important person in his early life, caring for him, accompanying him and taking him out to play. For Fern, Wilbur is a playmate to some extent, and has spent many wonderful times with her. Because of the appearance of Finn, Wilbur's life can be continued.
As Wilbur grew up, he came to a new environment-Homer's barn. Although Fern will still visit Wilbur in the barn every day, Wilbur feels lonely in the days without Fern.
How does he cope with his loneliness?
On an unremarkable day, he felt lonely and bored after eating and drinking, when a goose said, "You don't need to stay in that dirty pigsty, a fence is loose." Push it, do as I say, and come out! "So he did as the goose said. In a blink of an eye, he walked out of the pigsty and came to the outside world.
What does a little pig do in the outside world? The book describes it like this: "It jumped up, jumped for a long time, turned a corner, ran a few steps, stopped to look around, smelled the smell of the afternoon, and then set off through the orchard. It stopped under an apple tree and began to arch and dig with its powerful nose. I feel very happy. "
This paragraph vividly describes a naughty pig who ran outside to play while everyone was not looking. All kinds of actions are staged in turn, enjoying the freedom that no one cares. This description reminds me of all kinds of attempts Xiong Haizi secretly made when his parents were away. I think the child must be carefree and free after reading this description.
Wilbur struggled for a long time, and Mrs. Homer found it, and people began to chase it. Small hounds came running, too. Wilbur was frightened and didn't know what to do when everyone gathered from all directions. And the goose began to give orders again, telling him to run and avoid people. So Wilbur obeyed the order and ran back and forth. Other animals also began to make suggestions. All this noise made Wilbur dizzy and didn't know what to do. At this time, he obviously doesn't want to toss. So, when Homer lured him with a bucket of hot feet, he immediately got into the pigsty and enjoyed his delicious feet.
After a hearty meal, Wilbur experienced the feeling of freedom for an afternoon. How does it taste? He came to the conclusion that it is too young for me to travel the world alone.
This sentence is a dialogue with yourself, and it seems to be a dialogue with children.
When we don't know what we are doing, we can try boldly. After the experience, you will naturally understand what you are suitable for and what you are not suitable for.
Wilbur is a brave pig.
He not only tried to escape, but also tried many things. For example, taking a nap in the sun, digging a hole, looking at the flies on the board, looking at the bees in the flowers, looking at the swallows in the sky, and chatting with other animals in the barn were all rejected. This made him extremely depressed. At this time, the pig endured terrible loneliness and felt the darkness around him. Just then, a small voice said, do you want a friend? Wilbur. I can be your friend. I've been watching you all day and I like you.
This little voice, like a light, shot into his heart. He saw Wilbur's pig heart and his depressed mood, which made Wilbur energetic again.
This passage also tells the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte, which began with "seeing".
Charlotte, seeing Wilbur's inner world, gave him comfort and encouragement. Wilbur envied Charlotte's ability to weave a web and tried to weave a web like Charlotte. The result failed. The daily conversation between two good friends is full of warmth and appreciation. These are all good examples for children to show what true friendship is like. Is to encourage each other and help each other. Be able to see each other's emotions and respond. Can try my best to help friends solve problems.
(4) Charlotte
Charlotte's English name is Charlotte, and it's a gray Okumo. The book describes Charlotte's appearance like this: there is an Okumo net above the door, and a gray Okumo hangs above the net. It has eight legs as big as chewing gum balls. It is waving one leg at Wilbur and greeting him in a friendly way.
When Charlotte saw Wilbur, she greeted him and said "salute". Wilbur jumped up, a little scared. No one has greeted him with such words yet. Then, they began to introduce each other. Wilbur's comment after seeing Charlotte was "I think you are beautiful". Charlotte said proudly, "I'm beautiful." Almost all spiders are beautiful. "The two little friends appreciate each other very much. Charlotte likes Wilbur and thinks he is cute. Moreover, Wilbur also likes Charlotte and thinks it is beautiful. Although they look so different in appearance, it doesn't prevent them from becoming good friends. Because their souls are similar.
Wilbur was frightened when he saw Charlotte weaving a net to catch flies to eat. He didn't expect his good friend to eat flies, mosquitoes, butterflies, moths and other insects. Charlotte is bloodthirsty. This makes Wilbur's feelings very complicated. He thought to himself, "Charlotte is fierce, cruel, cunning and bloodthirsty-I don't like anything." How can I learn to like it? Even if it looks good, of course it is smart? " Such complicated feelings add a trace of doubt and fear to the acquaintance between Charlotte and Wilbur. From the child's point of view, isn't this a complicated feeling for a child to make friends with strangers for the first time? I am eager to establish friendship with each other, but I secretly doubt the possibility of this friendship because I don't know each other.
Friendship is often manifested not by what you say, but by what you do. This sentence also applies between Wilbur and Charlotte. With the deepening of friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte. Charlotte's cleverness made Wilbur admire him very much. One day, when the old sheep told Wilbur that he was going to be slaughtered, the little pig screamed and ran around in fear, unable to be quiet, and even shouted in fear and made a loud noise. The pig's life is threatened again. This is another major life-and-death crisis. Can this little pig get rid of its fate? Judging from the limited thinking of adults, I can't help but put a big question mark in my heart.
At this moment, Charlotte's little voice said, "You won't die" and "I'll save you". When Charlotte promised Wilbur that she would try to save it, I was curious. What can a little spider do to save a pig to be slaughtered? In my opinion, it's a bit unrealistic. The author's plot idea aroused my desire to continue reading. I wonder how Charlotte will help Wilbur solve this life-and-death crisis.
As the story progressed, I was suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but give Charlotte a thumbs-up sign. A little spider used its unique web weaving technology to weave words such as "radiant", "ace pig", "great" and "humble" on the Internet, which attracted the attention of Homer family to Wilbur, and then attracted more and more people to pay attention to this little pig. Wilbur became a famous pig. This fully shows that if you want to do something, you will definitely come up with a good way to realize your wish. Charlotte, it did it!
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, summer is going to die, it's going to die." When the cricket in the book sings the song of late summer, it indicates the end of a life. Whose life? Charlotte. Charlotte made an egg bag with 5 14 children in it, but Charlotte was a failure and felt very uncomfortable. He tried his best to weave the last two words "humility" for Wilbur in the market, and then had the last conversation with Wilbur. Charlotte said, "You have always been my friend. This thing is a great thing in itself. I weave a net for you because I like you. Besides, what is life? We are born, we live for a while, and then we die. It is meaningless for a spider to be busy catching flies and eating flies all his life. By helping you, maybe I can improve my life value. Everyone knows that people should do something meaningful when they are alive. "
What is the meaning of life? Charlotte's words tell the true meaning of life. How can a person reflect his own value when he is alive? By helping her friend Wilbur, Charlotte felt the value of her existence. When Charlotte's life was coming to an end, Wilbur put Charlotte's egg bag in his mouth, grabbed it with his tongue, took it back to the barn and took care of it carefully. Guard Charlotte's children. Watching the little spiders come out safely one by one. These little spiders are the continuation of Charlotte's life.
Charlotte guarded Wilbur's life, so Wilbur lived a stable life. Wilbur will always remember Charlotte in his heart and protect her children and grandchildren. How powerful is friendship? By describing the mutual understanding and help between Wilbur and Charlotte, they vividly explained to the children the emergence of great friendship. The author's ingenious conception is admirable.
