E.B White's lists

EB white frequenly uses lists throughout Charlotte's Web. The lists that he makes are very specific, each thing is described with sensory detail. whenever it lists what is in Wilbur's meal, it almost makes it exciting for the reader.wilbur's food includes a lot of odd things mixed together, thats why its interesting to read.  One of his lists (page 46) has a great description of Templeton. "the rat had no morals, no conscience, no scruples, no consideration, no decency, no milk of rodent kindness, no compunctions, no higher feeling, no friendliness, no anything" This list was written to show what everyone thought of Templeton. i think that EB White was stressing how bad Templeton is so that it would come as a surprise when he did something good like saving Charlotte's eggs at the end. E.B white also a great list on pages 25 and 26. The list is Wilburs plan for the day. the list is written from hour to hour. the reason why i love it so much is that the activites are very unrealistic. for example on page26 it says "from 11-12 he planned to stand still and watch flies on the boards, bees in the clover, and watch swallows in the air."
