The Stolen Ones
On March 24, 2011 my humanities class and I watched a movie called: Rabbit Proof Fence. Molly is the main character in this amazing story, our objective was to define a hero and proof whether Molly was one or not. Molly was an ordinary girl who is growing up like any other aboriginal girl, she is learnig how to track and how to hunt. Very soon the British men especially A.O. Neville start to notice Molly and plan to take her away. In a matter of days, they take her and her sisters away from her family and bring her to a Gulag (a labor camp for the education of maids and buttlers). After Molly and her sisters have been at the camp for a few days, she feels like it is a bad place and she realises the she should escape. Like I have said before on my discussion sheet, I thought a hero is a person who helps and saves themselves and other people. This is exactely what Molly did, shes escapes the camp and uses her hunting and tracking skills so they do not get caught.

so you're saying that you believe that she was a hero because she escapes the camp and uses her hunting and tracking skills so they don't get caught? A little confusing but I agree with you. Also, I think that you should have described her situation & her character more and define WHY she was a hero with more depth.

You're right Cassidy. Much of the reason we see Molly as a hero is because of her personal characteristics too.
