Symbolism Questions

In this worksheet, students explore the symbolic meaning of Charlotte’s web by answering seven comprehension questions. Learners reflect on the words woven into the web, the reactions of the humans, and the impact these words have on Wilbur’s fate. The activity asks students to explain the symbolism of the web and connect it to the themes of friendship and sacrifice. By writing in complete sentences, students develop clear written responses and practice critical interpretation of literary symbols. This worksheet encourages deep thinking about the author’s message and the story’s emotional significance.
