Connecting Annotations Response

     I've noticed that all the characters are very un-caring about death. They tend to be very blunt when saying they, or someone else is about to die.
     Like when the old sheep walks up to Wilbur and tells him he will be turned in to pork. he does not care that Wilbur will be very hurt. he is just telling Wilbur how it is. they tell the truth without worrying about other's feelings. like when charlotte says to wilbur she's about to die, very calmly. and when the goose accepts the fact that his egg is dead.
     I think E.b. White is telling us that what comes comes and we must except it. Death is a part of the world, just like everything else. In fact a lot of the story is Wilbur learning to cope with what comes. In the end he excepts Charlotte's death, and the circle of life continues in Charlotte's children.
