Nature is a prevalent theme in American literature, commonly associated with children's literature. One of its common features is the personification of animals, which allows for the re-creation of characters, situations and events reminiscent of the unreal world, yet grounded in elements of real life. Authors often infuse these narratives with fundamental philosophical ideas, interpreting them through storytelling. The created text often carries a most important characteristic feature of a fairy tale: wonder. E. B. White’s work is a unique combination of these features because it condenses their essential elements, and the last of the components has multiple, and even opposite forms of expression which makes the novel more interesting and unique, offering wide possibilities for interpretation.
