The borrowers P35-P70

In chapter five to eight is talk about that Pod had been seen by a boy, so they are worried

about it. They decided to tell Arrietty about this. In fact, Arrietty didn't sleep, she can heared

some thing that her parents talk about. Arrietty came to the kitchen and asked her parents tell h

her everything. Homily asked Arrietty that why her uncle need to emigrate. Arrietty didn't

know anything about why her uncle need to move. Homily told to Arrietty that her uncle need to

move because he had been seen. They also told Arrietty that her father had been seen. Arrietty

was so shack about it and started to worry it. Homily wanted to calm her down, so she started

to tell her a story about Harpsichord family. They used to live in a mantelpiece, but they alredy

move since the house they live had become empty. Homily aslo told to Arrietty that her aunt is

belong to Harpsichord family. They know Arrietty always wanted to go to the upstairs. So they

told her that her uncle's daugther Eggletina had gone to the upstair, she may already be eat by a

cat. But Arrirtty still wanted to go to the upstairs. One day, Homily asked Arrietty if she want to

borrow something with her father or not. Arrietty was happy about it. So she went to borrow

things with her parents. Arrietty always asked Pod to borrow something that she want. But she

never know being a borrower is a very dangerous and tough job. Now she understand that her

father's job is very dangerous.


My opinion:

I think Arrietty just like normal kids. She always being so childish. She always asked her

parents to do everything for her . She never think her parents need to take big risk to get these

things. Just like some people may think that parents can do anything for them. They donn't

want to study hard , and they do something bad to their parents. I used to read a news from

the newspaper. That is talk about 25 years boy asked his parents to give him some money, but

his parents didn't have any money to give to him. So he became very angry, he hitted his

parents. I think this is very awful. We need to thank our parents. Because they pay all of their

life to take care of us.
