Charlottes Web pg 3 and pg 53 Entry #2 8 GOING ON 80

   In these parts of the book , Fern shows an adult and a childish sides of her. In the beginning we see that Fern is very precocious (very old for her age)when she is saving Wilbur, standing up to her father and mother. But in the middle of the book when she was speaking to her parents and telling them about the conversation she heard the animals had in the afternoon. Her mother was a little sceptical at first, even through its perfectly normal for children to talk about talking animals in this time period.But this moment shows that  that even the most precocious of children can show the eight year old inside of them ant any moment.
