Day Of The Butterfly By Alice Munro

Julia Alvarez in her book In the Time of the Butterflies uses lots of describing, connecting and helping us to realize things that happened in 1960, in Dominican Republic. The book genre is historical fiction, in this genre truth is often based on emotion validity rather than factual reality. Author looks up the ways to demonstrate the essence of each person's thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In this book it tells about three sisters that with the revolution have released people of their country from the dictator’s oppression. It is not a secret, for Dominican Republic it was a very hard time. Throughout the novel, Alvarez uses violent imagery, which I think supported the deeper immersion into this time situations. In the book there are four

In David Hwang’s play, M. Butterfly, the story covers the superior attitude that Western white men hold toward Eastern oriental women which is shown through Rene Gallimard’s experiences. Throughout the story, Gallimard constantly brings up his favorite play, M. Butterfly, where an oriental woman, Butterfly, gives up and loses everything including her life for the white man she loves, Pinkerton, and despite Butterfly’s efforts, Pinkerton ends up marrying another woman causing Butterfly to commit suicide. Many white men enjoy this play because it portrays white men to look superior and gives them the assumption that oriental women would do and give up anything for a white man. Gallimard is also one of the white men who believe they are superior to oriental women and that no matter what he does, an oriental woman would never leave his side. Gallimard 's belief of racial superiority is what led him to his control over Song as if Gallimard was Pinkerton and Song was his Butterfly, this fantasy that Gallimard created for himself was false because in reality, Gallimard was the Butterfly and Song was the Pinkerton.

"The novel Cage of Butterflies primarily explores how scientific research can become corrupted by the profit motive."

In Alvarez book the first two pages are filled with good comments and reviews of her book. This quote is one from a nationwide known magazine company that may be older than the U.S itself. “Full of pathos and passion ( Alvarez)”, that it is worldwide known magazine company that it is. The pages are filled with about 35 reviews all positive and praising to the author and her supposedly “haunting (Alvarez)” novel. All of them used to promote the book and give it a sort of certified feel to it, so many experts and magazines giving this book a thumbs up. “In the time of the butterflies (Alvarez) ” a novel that has done something that not many books can do, that is gain approval from large amounts of Americans. The sheer credibility would make

One must form his own identity by himself, not allowing external forces to prevail, or he will detrimentally entangle himself in real and imagined conflicts. Throughout the novel’s beginning,

“We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.” This quote by Revolutionary Che Guevara is quintessential of the mindset of the Mirabal sisters, as well as the Dominican people. The year is 1930 and Trujillo has been declared president of the Dominican Republic, after running a secret campaign of torture and political maneuvering to rig the election -- the dictatorship has now begun. Throughout the following years, a shadow of fear and distrust would overtake the fatherland, as corruption and torture by government officials became a norm in Dominican society. It was because of this that the Mariposas—otherwise known as the Mirabal sisters— rose to the occasion to fight for the rights of their people. The Mirabal sisters were four real-life women who carried out clandestine activities against the Trujillo regime; whose lives are chronicled in Julia Alvarez’s novel. In the novel “In the Time of Butterflies,” the Mirabal sisters symbolize the courage of the Dominican people in overcoming barriers and prejudice while being subjected to the political despotism of Rafael Trujillo’s tyrannical regime.

Young love, it is a thrilling time in where the blinded youth cross a field unknown. A field where one must undergo a numerous amount of challenges and temptations. In the short story "A White Heron" the author, Sarah Orne Jewett, tells a story about a blossoming girl who encounters a young man, a typical boy meets girl scenario, so it would seem. The desire to be loved can drive a person to do the craziest of things, especially at a young age.

In society each gender must face different experiences through life.

In "A White Heron", Sarah Orne Jewett address a social issue of gender inequality by presenting a story about a man 's urge to control a girl.

Marie Antoinette: The Journey, is an insightful biography written by Antonia Fraser. Antonia Fraser, writer of the best-selling book, Faith and Treason: The Story of the Gunpowder Plot, had done extensive research to help bring the life of Marie Antoinette into the light. Fraser has a unique dedication to Queens, as she has written not only about the Queen of France but also of Mary, Queen of Scots.

The human race likes to believe that it is the most intelligent and powerful life form on planet Earth. While mankind has proven to be capable of many remarkable feats, there is one force that proves that man is relatively fragile. This force; though not living, is capable of rendering even man utterly weak and powerless. This force is nature. Throughout Sinclair Ross’ short story The Lamp at Noon, the historical context of the Great Depression helps to reinforce the story’s theme that nature is more powerful than man. This is evident through the fact that in the story and in real life; nature caused the Great Depression, nature can cause man to do unusual things and the fact that nature continually outsmarts man. These examples have been exemplified throughout the text and history to help prove that nature is indeed more powerful than man.

What was once a terrifying creature has now been turned into something that sparkles and seduces seventeen year old girls. Vampire movies have really changed over the years, each having their own way of displaying vampires to their audiences. Anne Rice, the author of the book Queen of the Damned, shows vampires in a way that most wouldn’t consider normal. Bringing the immortal into the music culture allows Rice’s main character Lestat to feel on top of the world again. With a healthy balance of blood and death, this movie allows its audience to learn Lestat’s history, while a dark soundtrack provides the scenery.

I have learned many things throughout the module; not only have I learned things in the module educationally, but also learned more about unusual behaviour from humans. The literature in the module had contained many ideas of the way humans behave and interact to each other during a relationship. The most interesting idea in this module was the way humans adapt to a loss of someone important, or someone who was not as important others but had a relationship to one individual within the group, later impacting the group of people who avoided that person. The way humans behave when facing the reality of loss with somewhat or is in relation with, can have minor or devastating effects on human behaviour, that can show the fear of darkness and death.

Struggle is the situation in which oneself carries the unbearable weight of others; suffering through the devastating miseries of life with no one to reach out to; foraging to find both purpose and worth; or simply just the endeavor for that last spark of transfiguration. However, struggle also elucidates a strive acquired to achieve or overcome a situation or obstacle in the face of adversity or resistance. Notably, both of these definitions are interpreted in different ways; some may put it best between a pessimist and an optimist. However, in this perfectly imperfect world, we, as a whole, require both perspectives to an argument for, even as much as one may subdue the other, “Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil.

First person tense is regularly present when an individual takes the steps to self-discovery as an approach for individuals to see the world differently, attain new values and come to understand their own distinctiveness and the uniqueness of others. The rhyming couplets in Frost’s poem ‘The Tuft of Flowers administers an exceptional example of this. This language draws the audience to unearthing the speaker’s feelings. He feels lonely but later realizes that there are others in the world that work alone. The speaker makes an important personal discovery when the mower finishes its job and the worker senses his isolation. As a result, he has noticed that the mower is a replication of himself because it likewise accomplished its job unaccompanied.
