The Rabbit-Proof Fence

I think that Molly is a very courageous and clever character in the story of the Rabbit-Proof Fence. Molly, being the oldest of the three girls, leads them throughout their journey back from the camp that they were taken to to be something like slaves. Also, in the beginning of the movie, you find that Molly is a good tracker, which helps her escape from the man chasing them on the way back home. I think that Molly is not a hero, from the part of the story so far, because she hasn't done much to claim herself as one that saves lives, or anything incredible or out of the ordinary. Yes, she had led the other two girls home safely (So Far), and yes, she had given them advice as to what to do, but as far as their status in the world at that point is concerned, it means nothing but trying to stay alive and healthy, without the english closely following them.

  1. I like how you describe Molly's skills but I kind of disagree with your claim of Molly not being a hero. However I can't say you're wrong because you have good interpretations stating your claim.
