My notable moment for Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMP comes from the end of the chapter Mr. Fitzgibbon’s Plow. Mrs. Frisby has just talked to the shrew about moving day and when the farmer would begin to plow the land. She is worrying about her son Timothy when suddenly she remembers something her husband would say: “All doors are hard to unlock until you have the key.”
I like this quote because it is saying keep trying, don’t give up, and anything is possible. I feel bad for Mrs. Frisby that she is left alone to raise their children because Mr. Frisby was killed. However, at least she has the memories of advice he would give her. It is almost like he is speaking to her even though he is dead. When Mrs. Frisby remembers what her husband would say it gives her motivation. She realizes she must keep trying even though the task seems impossible. I believe these memories need to stay alive within Mrs. Frisby because they are a source of strength. I think we should all remember the advice loved ones give us because that is who you can trust.
