Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien

Significance-
I chose this book, because when I read the blurb, I thought that this book was going to be filled with values and adventure. This book is valuable, because it shows a mother's true love for her child. It shows how much a mother is willing to risk and give in to save her child and her family. This piece is worth caring for, because it helps children appriciate their parents much more. This book teaches us the true meaning of herosim, family, courage, determination, strength, love, and family.

Perspective-
After reading this book, I would want readers to walk away with more appriciation for their family, especially their parents. I would want readers to think of Mrs. Frisby's sacrfices as like the sacrifices that their parents have do for them.
My personal thoughts didnt really affect my enterpretation of this piece. This piece was basically based on adventure, and mothers doing everything they can for their children. Since I havent really had any adventures in my life, and since I am obviously not a mother, I wouldnt really have any idea on what mothers go through. Therefore, I never really had any personal thoughts regarding this matter. However, now that I have read the book, I know have any idea of what mothers go through.

Evidence-
I think that argument thats being made is that if you really love someone, you'll do anything and everything for that person, and you'll try your hardest to make the impossible happen, just like in Mrs. Frisby's case. If you think about, the situation that Mrs. Frisby was in seemed like a hopeless case.
Mrs. Frisby is a widowed mom with several children, and they are in a life and death situation. She and her family must move into the meadows, out of the garden before Mr. Fitzgibbon's tractor comes rumbling through. Plus, Mrs. Frisby's son Timothy, is struggling through pneumonia, making it hard for them to move if the tractor comes too early. Being a family of helpless field mice, Mrs. Frisby found it hard to fight through the situation.
However, instead of Mrs. Frisby sitting at her home, grieving about her situation, she worked hard to find a way to save her family. She struggled, she strived, and she succeeded.
I know this is fact, not opinion, because the book had always been about doing something for a loved one. Its always been about Mrs. Frisby thinking of what's best for her family. There was never a time where Mrs. Frisby thought about herself. She dedicated everything she did to her family.

Connection-
This relates to the real world, because anyone would do anything for their loved ones, just like Mrs. Frisby did. They'd do everything to save and to get nothing but the best for their families. Also, just like Mrs. Frisby's deeds revealed her genuine love for her family, the same thing happens to us when we do good deeds for our family. For every good action that we show and do for the important people in our lives, it shows how much love and care we have for them.

Supposition-
If I hadnt read this book, I probably wouldnt appriciate my parents the way that I do now. This book had broadened my mind, and made me appriciate every little good deed/action that my parents show and do.
