This lesson or message will be supported with examples from the **novel, __Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.__**

For example if they didn’t have bravery they would of died from the cat, but because of the rats bravery they stood up to the cat and didn’t back down. They stood up to the cat when the cat tried to eat all of the rats. Another example is __Mrs. Frisby__ would have never saved the owl, and the owl would have died, but because of the rats bravery they saved the owl from getting into deep trouble....

One way they showed kindness is when Timothy was ill and __Mrs. Frisby__ took care of him until he was better even though it was a lot of work. Timothy got better from Mr. Ages givin gMrs. Frisby all of the medicine to help Timothy get better. Mrs.Frisby took care of Timothy all the time when he was ill. She took care of him when he woke up, until he went to sleep. Another way they showed kindness was when the tractor was coming and in front of Mrs.Frisbys house there were rats standing in from of Mrs. Frisbys house to protect them at night.

The last example is civilized. Civilized means to be able to do more than others and to work successfully together to make a community. The rats are civilized when they were taught to read. For instance, they were taught to read by looking at a picture and listening to the word about a dozen times. The rats of NIMH became stronger, smarter, and can live a longer life span than any other normal rat.

As you can see the main theme of this novel is to always be kind, brave, and civilized. I will use this in my life to be kind to others, to be brave and face fears and to be civilized. I can be civilized in my life. To do that you would need to work harder in school to get smarter.
