A Hero-Molly

In 'The Rabbit Proof Fence' Molly is the protagonist who demonstrates a lot of courage. She is desperately trying to save herself, Gracie and Daisy from becoming 'British'. If you look at the definition of hero it says that a hero is someone who has courage and has a certain quality to them. When you look at Molly you can immediately tell that she is special and different from everyone else. Molly got was brave enough to leave the camp place as soon as possible and she is smart enough to fool the tracker momentarily. Usually in a movie, the hero is someone who possesses an ability that comes in handy, from the beginning you can see the Molly is a very good tracker. She finds the lizard before everyone else, and later when they are escaping, she uses Daisy's bag to try and sidetrack the tracker. With all of these qualities it is clear why Molly is a hero to her family, others and herself.

I certainly agree that Molly is an exceptional among the Aboriginals at the camp, but you never explained why (although it can be implied through your other claims). I also like the reference to the lizard; I hadn't thought of that.
