Charlotte's Web: Expanded annotation

In Charlotte's Web Wilbur was having a very tough time getting used to the new farm life, he always needed someone to play with him. When everyone said no he got really upset and started to cry. I was really confused at why, when i read that part but then I looked back and realized the he was playing with fern everyday for the first month of his life. Because of that I believe that Wilbur became so dependent on having someone to play with every day.

When someone or something gets too dependent on anything, it really hurts when it gets taken away. For 

example, wilbur being dependent on Fern, or even the United States being dependent on Oil in the Middle East. I was just like Wilbur when i was 5. I used to hang out with my friend every Friday to Sunday. Every day he left I would get really upset and lonely knowing that i wouldn't be able to hang out with anyone for another 5 days.

If something gets losses something they love and want, they may start to get really upset and loss can lead to "dark side" meaning that they may start to take out their anger on others or worst case scenario if they lose something extremely important to them that can't be replaced they may kill themselves.

But in Wilbur's case when he lost Fern he wasn't going to commit suicide but he was going to die if it wasn't for Charlotte. Sometimes when someone loses something, another thing comes in a replaces it, that other thing may not be the same but it does help a lot. Just like Wilbur finding charlotte, but other times it doesn't work out like that.

Wilbur and Fern were lucky that no one got seriously hurt when being separated, but if they didn't meet Charlotte, Fern would be devastated when she realized Wilbur was dead. I do wonder what fern would do to her father and the Zuckermans. If she went crazy before she really got to take care of Wilbur, what would she do after she loved him more than anything else they actually succeeded in making Bacon out of Wilbur.
