Is Molly a Hero

In the movie The rabbit proof fence, the potraginist Molly is known as many things. Brave, smart, missunderstod, but are these traits the qualities of being a hero? Molly is a a girl who is half british and half aboriginal, this proves to be a difficult situation gor her because this means she has to go away to a special camp. here she finds some difficulties because she is not used to being very crowded while she sleeps, nor is she used to doing her business in a bucket. Molly also has trouble believing that to have a good education and to be accepted by everyone (except the Aboriginals,) you need to be white. Deciding that her and her sisters do not belong in such a camp, Molly and her sisters run away into the forest to find their way home. During this journey they need to avoid detection from the scouter and at the same time make it home alive. Molly proves that she has hero like qualities about her but im not sure whether she should be given the title of hero.

  1. Lachie, you spelled several words wrong and didn't capitalize some words. You need to capitalize here to Here, and im to I'm. You should write she and her sisters not her and her sisters. Otherwise your paragraph had a good topic sentence and you had a few examples to support your reasons for her characterization.

  2. You need to edit for conventions. You have some good ideas, but it needs some more work to make it more read-able. Good job though :D
