Chapter 10 Discussion

What does Arrietty say is the difference between stealing and borrowing? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

  1. Arrietty told the boy that borrowing is more difficult and dangerous.Her father has alot of skill and courage to borrow.Arrietty thinks that stealing is calling it yours.Arrietty thinks she's a part of the house so that makes it o.k..I think that they are stealing because they never say they will give it back and they just take it.They never ask the humans for permission to take things. But they don't call it their's , they take it and use it any way they want to.Your Friend, Lauren Scutella

  2. Lauren,
    You made a great observation that Arrietty and her family feel that they are part of the household! Even further, they believe that humans exist just to "keep" the borrowers. Their perspective is definitely a lot different than what the humans think.
