To dig deeper in my reading of Stuart Little I looked at history for E.B White and other sources that had to do with the book.
One source I came upon was edhelper an online website that told me a little bit of the past of E.B White. What i found interesting is that it says that his house was filled with banging cans and loudness and banging on the piano, and there is a scene in Stuart Little where Stuart is in the piano trying to help the Littles and that there is always banging cans in the book and so he related it to his family when he was younger.
Another source was E.B White's Life. This talks about how he as a person grows as a writer, and the adventure that life took him to get him where he is now. I think his life really goes with Stuarts because he goes for what he shoots as a determined person but also goes through those life issues that also need to be saved.
Another source is Biography and it also talks about his life as a child and how he started to grow. I thought this one was interesting because one if his inspirations was his niece because he usually wrote articles and essays but then his first book she wrote was Stuart Little followed by Charlottes Web. It really helped me understand the way the books go together.
The last source is amazon. Stuart Little was actually born from the mom in the book and what i find interesting is that in the movie if i clearly remember she adopts him as a baby. This website made me notice that this book was mainly about growing up and going out the first time alone, and that the whole book is a life lesson, like going out on your own never said it wasnt going to be hard but is always going to you get you somewhere and you will earn something from it. Stuart and E.B White take you on a never ending adventure and it really is never ending because the ending is unclear so it is for you to find out!
