        <description><![CDATA[When she goes to the pilgrimage in the mountains, with the church and all, a young boy is shot right in front of her by the gaurdias of El Jefe, or Trujillo. She gets angered that 1) They shot a boy about the age of her son 2) shot him in a religious building and 3) she finally realizes how corrupt their government is and decides that Trujillo needs to be stopped]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Throught the book Minerva is very spontaneous. She is very motivated and she won't let anyone hold her back once she has an idea. She is the most outgoing of the sisters and it's almost as though she is fearless. I admire Minerva for her strength even when everyone is working against her. In the book it mentions many times that she is good at arguing and always wins, she later goes to school to study to be a lawyer.]]></description>

Minerva has caught the eye of Trujillo, and she and Papa are invited to be the dictator's guests at the Discovery...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Maria Teresa is one of the more reliable narrators in the book because she is the only one who has a written record of the events that happened and her thoughts when they occurred.   Granted, her recollections are taken from a diary, which is unquestionably created from a subjective perspective, but still, the fact that she does speak from a written record of any sort gives her narration a little more credibiity than if she were just...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Chapter 1 of In the Time of the Butterflies is filled with foreshadowing. One example is when the interviewer stands before the portraits of Minerva, Patria, and Maria Teresa.  Although she does not mean it the way Dede interprets it, the interviewer asks her, "And where are you?" This quote foreshadows that all the sisters will die except Dede, and that Ded will often torment herself that she had not been with them when they are killed....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In her statement that

"Adversity was like a key in the lock for me",

Minerva is referring to how she is most productive when things are tough.  Adversity serves to unlock an inner strength within her, making her fearless and intrepid, completely effective in her work for the Revolution.
After her release from prison, Minerva had gone through a period of malaise.  She had been depressed and edgy, wanting to do nothing but lay in bed away...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the middle of Chapter 9, just before the ninth break, Dede, Minerva, and Manolo have this conversation while they are on the road to Jaimito's mother's house.  Dede says,

"I just have to admit to myself.  I'm not you - no really, I mean it.  I could be brave if someone were by me every day of my life to remind me to be brave.  I don't come by it naturally".

Minerva notes quietly,

"None of us do",

and Manolo asserts,

"Dede, you're...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter 5, Dede first realizes the full extent of Lio's revolutionary ideology.  Mate reads from the newspaper that

"there had been a demonstration at the university, led by a bunch of young professors, all members of the Communist party.  Among the names listed was that of Virgilio Morales".

Although Minerva and even Jaimito had known that Lio had Communist leanings, to Dede, the revelation comes as a complete surprise.  She really...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Maria Teresa writes,

"I asked Minerva why she was doing such a dangerous thing.  And then, she said the strangest thing.  She wanted me to grow up in a free country.
"'And it isn't that already?' I asked.  My chest was getting all tight.  I felt one of my asthma attacks coming on.
"Minerva didn't answer me.  I supposed she could see that I was already upset enough.  She took both my hands in hers as if we were getting ready to jump...]]></description>
