Describe the character of Molly and discuss whether you think she is a hero or not. Give reason to support your opinion.
My definition of a hero is someone who puts others before themselves. Molly, the protagonist in the movie Rabbit Proof Fence, is the hero in this story. She takes a huge risk by running away from her Gulag (labour camp) taking her cousin and sister with her. She uses her best assets to overcome obstacles that come in her way and successfully manages to get rid of the tracker that starts following the siblings once they escape the camp. Her technique of taking the route through the river is a reflection of her intelligence. The shocking events that lead to the siblings fleeing give great meaning to their courageous decision. She exhibits selflessness, and her protectiveness towards her sister and cousin is shown when she does her best to stick with them throughout their time in the camp. Although this is a chance for Molly to survive as well, she is an evident hero because of her abrupt yet audacious decision.

I like how you gave a definition for what a 'hero' is, and then provided supporting examples. It's really well organized :)
I like how you defined what a hero is to you, and said that Molly showed 'selflessness' and protectiveness.
I agree, Molly is a hero. :)
I also like your word choice in describing your view point of heroism. Nice post.
but because it is his job, it is what he is supposed to do. This is mirrored by the nurse at the settlement: she is stern, but also a little kind. She honestly thinks she is helping these children. It’s an interesting concept of evil.pvc fence panels
