My Take on Harriet the Spy
I have just finished reading Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. The main characters were Harriet and her best friends Sport and Janie. ... Harriet’s problem was that if she spied on people in her neighborhood and wrote negative notes about them in her secret notebook, she could not have friends. The problem was solved by Harriet taking positive notes in her secret notebook instead of negative notes about other people in her neighborhood, so she was able to have friends. One day Harriet’s mother took her secret notebook away. Harriet took her resentment at her mother out on everyone she met that day in school. ... I am very different from Harriet. I do not spy on people, and I do not write negative notes about anyone.
