 **__Mrs. Frisby and The Rats of NIMH__**

 Robert C. O’Brien’

The message of Robert C. O’Brien’s novel Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is being **civilized**. In the novel we see the rats we see the rats being civilized because they build a shelter, food and running water which equals off to electricity. This lesson, or message, will be supported with examples from the novel. The message of Robert C. O’Brien’s novel Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is being civilized and making and environment without stealing. In the novel we see how the rats want to make and produce and not steal.

In my own words, being civilized is having a more advanced life, and having a tep ahead of life. When you have a house and tools throughout your life that you worked for. The whole entire concept is working for achievement. The other is to have a step ahead of the people and to be organized; if you’re not then you’re probably not civilized.

The rat and the mice both build shelters to live in. These shelters have to be built properly. They have to be where there safe and where they can get food easily. The rats have to build their own society in the rose bush. They have rooms and elevators and all things a rat "house" should not have but they had to work hard and make something out of everything they do. The author in the book is showing how the rats are being civilized.

The rats and mice also have to have food to live. Humans also need food to live but the diffrence is it is alot harder to get food as a rat. The rats have a system of getting food and supplies. The rats need someway to get rid of the cat it would kill them and probaly ruin everything. So the way they avoid it is by making a sleeping powder and put it in its food bowl. To do this it is hard and very dangerous. This is where being self sufficent and civilized comes right into place. Being civilized is another word for working hard for something that can help with something else, like a chain reaction.

The rats have a way of getting running water and electricity to have and make the stuff they have. The rats are very intelligent and have to have some way of working to get water and electricity. This is what they do, they take a wire running through the house out side and plug it into there supplies that need electricity to work. That is STEALING from Mrs. Frisbys house. The rats want to build their own society so they dont have to STEAL. The rats need a place where they have easy access to food, water and supplies so they can put it into something worth living off. The authors meaning to this is that you shouldnt have to steal to have this beauty of stuff but to make and produce this stuff. The rats are being self-sufficient and civilized rats.

The message of Robert C. O’Brien’s novel was the rats being **civilized**. In the novel we see the rats where clearly being civilized and the rats and the rats being civilized lead to a shelter, food, running water and electricity. That is how the rats are civilized, the rats are self-sufficent as they are civilized. The whole story was being civilzed. The lesson of the book was all being civilized and self-sufficent.
