In her critique, Wake highlights the wonderfully layered aspects of E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. From its commencement, she suggests that "The barn in Charlotte's Web functions as its own ecosystem,” where the barn not only represents the physical gathering place for the different animals, humans, and arachnid characters, but also the metaphysical crossroads of human culture and biological nature (p. 101). Indeed, Wake focuses on the environmentalist narrative, departing from human egocentrism, to view humankind as merely one sector of an infinitesimal pool of valuable entities inhabiting a mutually shared plane of existence.
That being said, it is almost paradoxical that Wake includes the correspondence of White with a young reader above.
