Long Answer
1. Wilbur and Charlotte are different from other animals on the farm because they seem to have a more philosophical outlook. They consider the deeper aspects of life and the nature of death, and they form a friendship that is more like one between humans. They are also like the other farm animals in that they both thoroughly enjoy food and the comfort and security of living on the farm. (Various chapters)
2. Wilbur’s life is first saved by Fern when she insists that he not be slaughtered simply for being smaller than the other piglets. She nurses him and cares for him until he is big enough to move onto the farm. Wilbur’s life is saved again when it is determined that he is likely to be slaughtered for Christmas ham and Charlotte works tirelessly through the summer to convince the world that he is worth keeping alive.
