This made me stop for a second and think about spiders. Ew. Spiders make me shudder sometimes. I recently moved into a basement apartment that had quite a few tenants already! I have squished, stomped, stabbed and drowned more spiders in the last 3 weeks than I can count! But, after reading White's quote on his inspiration, maybe next time I'll watch the spider at his work for a few minutes before I abrubtly end its life.
That is so interesting that White got his inspiration for his book through watching a spider. I have the same "love" of spiders as you do, Carlie. Maybe next time, I'll give them a few extra minutes as well.
ReplyDeleteCould you please consider keeping this blog after your class is over?? I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI let a spider build a web in my utility sink because he was so clever never to build it where it would get wet. I felt sad destroying it when he was clearly an amazing engineer. Manuel didn't feel the same way though...Also, have you seen the comercial for some kind of phone where the man puts his phone, with a life-like looking tarantula on the screen, down on the table and the woman starts screaming hysterically? The other man then beats the phone with his shoe also thinking it is real. It is pretty funny.
ReplyDeletei can't see why people always rush to kill spiders when it is cats that are creepy . . .
