__Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH: There is a solution to every problem if you try, keep trying and don’t give up, and everyone needs to help one another out __

In __Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien__ Mrs. Frisby needed help from the rats to move her house to safety from the plow so they could live there until Timothy wasn’t sick and they could go to their summer home. My thesis statement is that no matter what you need to help others out, and that there is a solution to every problem if you try. This will be proved with examples from the story.

There is a solution to every problem, for instance Mrs. Frisby’s son Timothy was sick and he couldn’t go outside, so she went to Mr. Ages and he said that Timothy had pneumonia and gave her medicine to give to Timothy, and later on while Timothy was taking his medicine Mrs. Frisby thought Timothy wasn’t going to better, Mrs. Frisby remembered that her husband saying “All doors are hard to unlock until you have the key.” When Timothy was sick it involved Timothy, Mrs. Frisby, Mr. Ages, and the rest of Mrs. Frisby’s family. Immediately Before Mrs. Frisby found out Timothy was sick she found a stump with corn and other foods they could eat in it while on a walk. While Timothy was sick Mrs. Frisby saved Jeremy, and she went to see the owl. After Timothy was over his sickness, he still had to be careful, but the rats moved Mrs. Frisby’s house to safety from the plow. What Mr. Frisby meant was that all problems are hard to solve unless you have the solution.

Keep trying and don’t give up, for instance, the rats kept trying and didn’t give up on escaping from NIMH, they kept trying to escape. They would wait until the people left, then they would get out of their cages and let the mice out of their cages then they got the screw driver and tread and went through the vent and they couldn’t fit through the hole in the cage so the mice went through and they found out they had to open it from the outside and they opened it and escaped, and they never gave up. When the rats escaped from NIMH the Rats, Mr. Frisby, and Mr. Ages were involved with the escape. In NIMH before the escape the people were making them learn to read. After the escape the rats found the Boniface Estate and lived there until the owner came back at the end of the year. The escape shows intelligence, courage, and ingenuity.

Helping others, for instance, Mrs. Frisby helped Jeremy when she saw that he was tangled in some christmas tinsel and stuck to the fence. Mrs. Frisby helped someone that she didn’t know and made a new friend. When Jeremy was tangled to the fence Jeremy, and Mrs. Frisby were involved. Before Mrs. Frisby saw Jeremy she was going out of her house to get more corn from the stump she had found. While Mrs. Frisby was untangling Jeremy she told him to make sure the cat wasn’t coming. After Jeremy was untangled they had a talk and Jeremy told Mrs. Frisby about the owl and they were going to go see the owl early the next morning. Mrs. Frisby helping someone she didn’t know showed kindness.

The message in Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien is there is a solution to every problem if you try, keep trying and don’t give up, and everyone needs to help one another out. This is important because if we don’t help each other out families and friends wouldn’t be close together. I would help others that need my help no matter what, and i hope you will and have helped others in need to.
