Zuckerman's Barn
Sheep, rat, spider, pigs, ram, cow, and horse.
The setting of Charlotte's web is the farm where Fern lived and the barn where all the animals lived.
Homer Zuckerman is Fern's uncle who buys Wilbur from her dad in the beginning of the story. Mr. Zuckerman keeps Wilbur in his barn. He has a wife, Edith, and a hired man named Lurvy who helps out around the barn.
Charlotte of Charlotte's Web was a pretty Araneus Carticus spider, also known as a barn spider. She befriended the pig, Wilbur, who was saved by Fern Arable from an untimely death. Fern's father, Mr John Arable, wanted to kill Wilbur as he was a runt. Instead, Mr Arable sold Wilbur to the Zuckerman's farm because the Arable family lacked resources to feed Wilbur when he was starting to eat scraps of foodstuff. In the end, Charlotte followed Wilbur to the fair. At the same time, the poor Charlotte was pregnant. She entrusted Wilbur with her egg sac after she gave birth. A few minutes later, she died. He carried Charlotte's egg sac home and the next day, the baby spiders ballooned away. "We'll go wherever the wind brings us, balloonists." they said. Only 3 spiders liked Wilbur and decided to stay in the barn. The oldest was Joy, followed by Aranea. Nellie was the youngest among them. Though Wilbur had them, they could never replace Charlotte in Wilbur's heart. The good friend and the best writer. He would never forget Charlotte.
