Before Charlotte dies, she and Wilbur have one last important conversation. They discuss their friendship and why Charlotte spent so much time and effort helping Wilbur. At one point, Charlotte tells her friend. “By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that” (p. 164). What does Charlotte mean by this statement? How can helping a friend “lift up” the helper’s life? |

I think that statement means that she wanted to help her friend and become social and now that heaven would lift her up.Also I think that she meant that she kind of helped Wilbur in order to get to heaven.

I think helping a friend can lift up the helpers life because I think the helper is happy because he help someone.

I agree that helping a friend can lift up the helper because helping someone can make the helper happy. Why do you think Charlote helped Wilber? I think she didn't want Wilber to get hurt.

The reason it can rise up friend ship is charlotte always help wilbur so he wouldn't get killed. Since Wilbur always got saved by charlotte so wilbur took her 515 egg sac because charlotte was going to, die.

I think Charlotte meant is to have a little excitement in her life and make friendship with other animals instead of regrets from being chased by people and being feared by.Helping others makes the uplifter feel good about themselves and fills their buckets with happiness and that message tells them to help more people not just to fill their own buckets but to fill the other persons bucket and give happiness to others!

"By lifting up" Charlotte means she did something unique and uncommon that help someone special in her life that in turn made her feel good and that she belonged. When we do something special for someone else we feel rewarded as well. Seeing someone happy because of something I did is fulfilling in a way that words alone cannot express. I feels great!
