Rabbit Proof Fence in Australia

Molly is characterized as a hero because she demonstrates the courage and mental power to stay strong and look after herself and sister and cousin even though she has been taken away from her mother. She tries her best to fit into the surrounding environment but it's very hard for her since she's very used to the aboriginal life, and finds it difficult to get used to the British culture all of a sudden. Molly realizes that she will not be able to fit into this culture and decides that she should run away to her mother, even though she's 1200 miles away, this shows Molly's hero-like mind and strong will.
