Family

Mrs. Frisby's willingness to put herself at risk to save Timothy tells us that, while her motivations are kind, they're not exactly well reasoned.  Risking her life to save the life of Timothy only puts all her children's lives at risk.  Does it make sense to risk leaving all her children without a mother just to save the life of one?

  2. No because if just one out of 4 is sick why would you risk the other 3's lifves to save one

  5. She is making the wrong, but right choice. She is making a wrong choice because is she risks her life for timmothy,she might loose her children and her children will have no one to take care of them. She is making the right choice because she is helping timmothy get better by risking her life.

  6. I don't think it is right to leave children at home alone but I do understand that she is doing it for a good cause.

  8. I think it would make sense to leave them because Martin and Teresa can look after Cynthia and Timothy while Mrs. Frisby is looking for ways to save Timothy.

  10. No. You should never leave your children at home by themselves because they can ruin it and if your a mouse the dragon can come and destroy not only your home but your children's life. Also the farmer can plow days ahead.

  12. I am on the fence with this because if you have five children and only one is sick if the others die you will only have oneore will not have any children at all. I think also she is somewhat doing the right thing because earlyer in the book it saiss that Timmithy is kind and understanding with the other children.

  13. I think she should try to save all of them if I could.

  14. I would rather let timmy get better even if it puts the other childrens lives in a very bad risk.

  15. If I was Timothy I would feel bad for everyone else because they had to keep worrying about me but I probably would secretly be hoping that they let me live.

  16. She is also making a good choice because she is trying to save timpty's life but she is making the wrong choice because her other kids risk are on the line

  17. Mrs.Frisby is doing something good and bad it is bad she is leaving her children alone in the house, it is good because she is saving timothy life.

  18. If I was Mrs. Frisby I would go out and help Timothy and if i got caught by the cat I would know that Martin and Teresa could look after them. But before i left i would tell Martin and Teresa if i did not make it back take good care of Cynthia and Timothy.

  20. I think it would be okay if Mr. Ages watched over the kid and he would stay there until Mrs. Frisby came back but, if Mr. Ages did not watch then no do not leave them alone.

  21. I think that Mrs.Frisby was trying to do the right thing.She was not just going to stand there and let timothy die! Sure she did risk her children lives but now they all have a chance to live if she had done anything else then timothy would have died.
