Describe the character of Molly and discuss whether you think she is hero or not. Give reasons to support your opinion.
I do think Molly is a hero. She is unafraid to stand up to those oppressing her. She does not only do this for herself, but also for those she cares about, her sister and her cousin. Molly sees that they can win freedom if they are smart enough. The staff at the compound tell the captives that there is nowhere better than where they are now, that they should be happy that they are privileged enough to live there. Molly is strong enough to have a mind of her own. Molly is strong enough to be a leader. She tells her sister and her cousin that they are going to leave the dump they lived in and find their way home. She is truly the leader of the group, keeping them from losing hope. She takes her chance to escape when she sees that everyone is going for roll call and that no one will notice them leaving. Molly holds their little group together and keeps hopes up.
I agree with you that Molly is a hero and I like how you support your claim although there are more points that you could've given farther detail on, like the upcoming sandstorm, or how Mr. Neville is treating her.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that Molly is a hero because she's definitely brave enough to go against the British. Just like you, I also mentioned how she is the 'leader' between her sister and younger cousin and a hero is defined as somebody who takes the lead. You've pretty much said everything I said, nice job!
ReplyDeleteshe is just intuitive that way. She walks on the paths, and only eats things that are offered by me. Oh, how she loves her carrots, peas and strawberries!pvc privacy fence
