Just an Inconspicuous Rat
‘Will you play with me, Templeton?’ asked Wilbur.
‘Play?’ said Templeton, twirling his whiskers, ‘Play? I hardly know the meaning of the word.’
I don’t know if anyone could actually remember the very first time the rat appeared on the page. For after reading the book, people might simply consider the rat a greedy, dusty, messy and ugly supporting role in the story. But why not think it over, doesn’t the character have any advantages that is worth praising? I like the rat heartily, people may be surprised at my special interest in this inconspicuous role. But I think I can tell the reason why.
Templeton, is the character’s name. It is not difficult to find that Templeton lives a hard life, although many people would think that a rat deserves it. Rats are not helpful, they couldn’t be made into delicious food, they could only ruin the food people eat. Of course, Templeton does not live on the farm, he doesn’t have a real home. He digs a hole inside the barn and builds a small space to live. He said himself that he is not a merry-maker and that he never know the meaning of the word ‘play’. If anyone, any animal lives a life like this, they won’t be joy and satisfied. When Wilbur learnt that nobody wants to play with him he couldn’t bear the sadness and loneliness, therefore he cried out loud in the barn. Then what about the rat? Does anyone ever notice his loneliness? Although it didn’t say in the story, apparently the rat is a loner. All rats are friendless. But I believe that Templeton is satisfied with his life right now. He’s easily pleased, which shows his optimistic attitude towards life. That’s an advantage most people and animals lack, but Templeton owns it. But how does he do that? Because he has a hobby of collecting things, and he is glad whenever he finds something to eat. To stay content like Templeton might be the main purpose of life.
No one would say a rat is a helper. However, Templeton is not a normal type of rat. In the tale, he is quite a helper. Half of the words on Charlotte’s web was from the old newspapers or magazines Templeton collected. When Wilbur fainted on the stage at the fair because of anxiety, it was Templeton who pulled his tail hard to awake him. You could say that it was Templeton who saved Charlotte from being shot by Avery, although that was an accident. People just couldn’t see the merits of Templeton, the merits of an inconspicuous rat. I suggest you read the book thoroughly instead of flipping through the pages. There you could find the things you didn’t find about Templeton. It is actually a lovely rat, although it’s sometimes greedy, dusty, messy and ugly. But a rat couldn’t help being born that way, just like Wilbur couldn’t help being born small. As a rat, I could see Templeton is trying his best to be a good one.
Just an inconspicuous rat, just a supporting role, but the spirit inside the character couldn’t be obliterated. Thank you, Templeton, for letting me know so much.
