Notable Moment in Mrs. Frisby

           The moment that stood out most for me as an essential representation of the character of Mrs. Frisby was when Mrs. Frisby made the decision to face the cat, putting her children and their well being first above even her own life.  This shows her dedication as a mother as well as her bravery.  When she sees that there are no more options or resources available with the rats, she sacrifices herself but only after considering what is best for her children.  The rats respect her for this and allow her to follow through with the challenge that killed their friend and her husband.  This act of bravery and love by Mrs. Frisby is reciprocated by the rats committed loyalty as they come back to save her and follow through with their promise to save her children even after learning of the danger they were now presented with.
