Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Society and Class Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #10

She thought: It's a good plan and a brave one. It would be the first time in all the world that intelligent beings, besides men, have ever tried to start a real civilization of their own. They ought to have a chance. It was not right that they should be killed at the last minute. Or captured. (25.11)

This, right here, is why we love Mrs. Frisby. She is smart, brave, fair, and she tells it like it is. Put this way, who could argue with her? She puts into words all of the feelings that readers are having at the end of the book when it looks like the rats won't make it.
