In the book charlotte's web by e.b. white, this idea of wilbur still being a child comes up alot.Like in chapter two there is a picture of Fern pushong wilbur around in a baby cariage. this is back when wilbur was still considered to be a runt and looks like a baby in a cariage.The next time that I saw this come up in was chapter three the escape. In the end of the chapter, after wilbur is put back in his pen, he says, "I'm really too yong to be alone in the world." So, this idea of wilbur still being a child really links into one of the themes in the book birth and new life. Birth and new life is shown in many chapters. in the chapter summer days, seven of goose's eight eggs hatch, in the chapter egg sac, charlotte starts making the egg sac and is coming closer to her death. In the last chapter a warm wind three spiders stay behind and wilbur names them Joy,Nellei,and Arnea. in fact in the end of the book it turns out that wilbur is more of a father figure.
