Has anyone read the book?
It's really funny because I just finished reading Charlotte's Web (the book). I can't believe they're making a film of it. Well, it was a good read so it could be an okay film!
Has anyone else read it?
Don't buy a FUJITSU television!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If people (even young students) watch a little less TV and spend less time on the internet or playing video games, they can find time to read... even if that ammounts to just a half hour every day. Do your homework and cut down on some things like this and ta-da... a little time to read each day. :)
Trust me, it's worth it. A book is ALWAYS better than the movie based on it.

I always feel like a traitor in the few instances I have to say this, but I actually liked the movie better than the book. In it, Wilbur always came off as a little whiny (but understandably so, since cry-if-a-leaf-falls-Fern raised him.) Charlotte was more stern and seemed to snip at him too often.
And the animated version is on some level of its own, but always a classic.

Power to the Crazy!!! GO PIRATES!
o, that remark was only said to the above person not to anyone who will accept my apology.
Power to the Crazy!!! GO PIRATES!
I just find this so horribly, incredibly sad. :(
I love to read, have always loved to read. My 20-month old daughter has a ton of books and is "trying" to read by following the text along with her finger (like I do when I read to her) and baby-talking.
I have read the book, more than once, when I was a kid. I never had to read it for a book report, but I think the teachers who DO make it required reading are awesome! Hehe. (try writing a book report on Hawthorne's works. Now THAT is boring. To me, anyway! hee!)
I'm sorry you have such a terrible time reading. I wish you more time and understanding in this activity. When you can read/write well, you'll be amazed at what you can do. Making informed choices in our lives is one of the SINGLE best things you can do for yourself. Reading is just a cornerstone of that!
You have nothing to be sorry for. I do have to say that if you decide to watch the movie and not read the book, be very careful of what you put in your report. As someone else said, the teacher will know if there are differences. Good luck!

i was just joking about watching the movie instead u ppl seriously need to have a sense of humour, i never said i DONT read i just said i dont have alot of time to read. So now everyone needs to stop bothering me. Its none of anyones business, oh and Merry Christmas everyone!
Power to the Crazy!!! GO PIRATES! i love Jesus!
seriousley, who hasnt read the book?
shareMerry Christmas! Apology accepted.
I was in Junior High when I read my first book (for fun). It was The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, and I haven't put books down since. Hammering the Pirate over the head with the goods and nessecity of reading will not make her understand the bennifits, but more likely push her away. Today is a sad state when Shakespear is no longer required reading for English Majors and Cyberspeak has made it's way into Resume's so I understand the lashback; you've said your peace, reading forces the mind to work (Imagination and thought) which keeps your wits nimble (i.e. like any muscle the more you work it, the stronger it gets) - I only hope that someday she finds the enjoyment of reading a good book like so many of us here have. (I can't sleep without reading first)
Haven't seen the movie and haven't read the book but am now seriously thinking of picking up the book and peeping the movie when it hits DVD.

I Agree Totally. I Am A HUGE reader and whenever we get an assignment where we have to read a book I practically shout with joy. The Charlottes Web Book Was an amzing read and im a boy (im not saying that no boys would agree with me) I think the casting was awful.Surely to god they could have found a better Fern than Dakota Fanning, I mean come on!!Julia Roberts? she was okay. Oprah Winfery?Should stay on her show but the rest Fantastic!! If anyone disagrres with me plzzzzzz dont start a riot like that other one lol
I you read and watch the book and movie, in your book report you could compare the movie to the book and write about the book alone. You would probably get good mark for extra "put-in"

nobody's going to hate you for dislikng the casting. hating reading is a much bigger matter.
All Knowledge Is Worth Having
Although anything serious on this post has long departed, perhaps we need something to ATTRACT us to reading. For me, it was my aunt's hardcover first edition of E.B.White's "Charlotte's web" that she lent my sister and me to read when we were 9 and 10 (I'm the younger one). That made me WANT to read the book. and over the years I've been attracted to books with unusual art or layouts on the covers, etc. That sometimes draws people into reading.
