Charlotte's Web is not as "kiddie" as you think it is

Chapt.7 -"Well, I don't like to spread  bad news, but they're fattening you up because they're going to kill you, that's why."

                   I am starting to think that Wilbur does not want to be sad anymore. After all the loneliness and sadness he has been through, referring back to chapter 3 when Wilbur was sold and placed in a pile of manure to cry himself to sleep each day, he does not want to be without that person to make him feel good when he is down or upset. A Charlotte. 

                  No one wants to be in a situation where nobody wants to be your friend or nobody really cares about you so I know why he wouldn't want to be in that spot again. Like when your the new kid in school and everyone treats you like crap. All you want is someone to talk to, not to be treated like something that goes in a toilet. But if there is that one person that says things that would put you down all the time, You will be sad for a big chunk of your life. Like the goat. I went absolutely nuts when I read the part where she said they are going to kill you you know to Wilbur. Wilbur just started to feel at home, I mean, he just met Charlotte for God sakes and then she had to ruin the rest of the day with that one silly comment. Even though it does save Wilbur's life in the end, it really isn't necessary especially if you know that he is still being welcomed into the new barn and getting to know the others pretty well.It is also very clever of E.B White to add a "mean" expression in almost all the pictures with the goat in it. Just like Templeton, you can tell what kind of animal they are by the pictures. Not just the words. 
                 Right now there hasn't been any sadness in Wilbur's thoughts and conversations. Maybe because he doesn't want anything to get in the way of his happiness, and friendship with Charlotte? I'll just have to read more of the book to find out I guess.
                So far, this book has proven to be a deep book.Wilbur has shown a great character with all the expressed emotions he has shown me and my classmates, E.B White on the other hand has done a great job of telling us reader/writers that it's not a book just made for kids, it is a book about emotions, feelings, and other deep discussable topics. Which is why, Charlotte's Web isn't as "kiddie" as you think it is.
