Questions for Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Chapters 8-14
|
If you were
Mrs. Frisby, what would you be feeling when you
entered in the Owl’s hollow? Would you
consider yourself as brave as Mrs. Frisby when she
went to see the rats in the rosebush? Be true to yourself when you answer
this question. Do you think Isabella ever told anyone she liked
Justin a lot? If so, who do you think she told, and why do you think she told
that rat? Explain and defend your reason even if you think Isabella didn’t
tell anyone. If Mrs. Frisby already
knew about the Rats of NIMH before Jonathan’s illness, would her life have
been different? How would you categorize the rats from least
intelligent to most intelligent? Support your rankings. Why do you think the owl admires Jonathan Frisby? What evidence can you find that these rats are
intelligent? What relationship is there between Isabella and
Mrs. Frisby? Why do you think that the author added Isabella
into this story? Why did Isabella fear NIMH so much? Why did the author compare Mrs. Frisby with the owl?
Explain. What do you think “The Plan” is? Explain. |
