" A spider can produce several kinds of thread. She uses a dry, tough thread for foundation lines, and she uses sticky thread for snare lines-the ones that catch and hold insects"- E.B.Ehite "intruding"(pg 93)
there are several moments in the book such as this quote when where E.B.White "intrudes" and tells us some facts about spiders either directly or through charolette. one example of such a moment other than this qoute is when charolette tells wilbur the names of her eight legs. i think that the reason that e.b.white does this is to give the audience insight on the real habits and nature of spiders, not just fictional charlotte who can talk. another reason that i think e.b.white does this is beacause of her love of spiders and their beauty. the reason i think this is beacuse when my ela teacher read aloud to us from a book called " charolettes web annotated" it had all these pictures and research about spiders. the reason this is important is because this is what adds a spark of non- fiction to this fiction book. it is what merges reality to the creativeness of the fiction world.
