Example

My favorite book is Charlotte's Web
It is a story of friendship between different animals and people.
I like the scene where Wilbur tries to spin a web. He is jumping and moving around as if he is a spider and what is most heartwarming is Charlotte's reaction.  She lets him figure out for himself that it is impossible for pigs to weave webs, but because Charlotte is so nice about it, he takes it in stride and the two become even closer.
