Document Summary

Realism: plausible events in a realistic setting; that is what e. nesbit demonstrated in the. Harriet is very cynical always looking for faults in people or situations. She is very mean and judgmental; there could be an argument made that she is not actually mean because she does not walk up to people and tell them their faults. She keeps the notes to herself and it is not meant for other people. She is not trying to make herself feel better but bewildering others. She just thinks she is just being honest and true in his writing; but the readers are able to pick out that she has a keen eye for spotting the negatives in people. She spies: her motive for spying is to simply know about everything and everyone; she is preparing herself for her career in writing.
