From the Paper:

"One of the most important things that parents can teach their children is trust. However, children learn trust not only through their parents, but also through other relationships such as friendship. This bond between one friend to another can last a lifetime which can be seen in the book, Charlotte's Web. Charlotte is a friend that saves the life of Wilbur. Other relationships are also important in the story such as between father and daughter, Wilbur to Charlotte, and Fern to Wilbur. The relationship of friendship is important in building a child's social-emotional development."
