Julia Alvarez’s book, In the Time of Butterflies, is the detailed retelling of how four sisters lived through an oppressive dictatorship. Throughout the book each sister goes through a great deal of hardships both mentally and physically. The Mirabal sisters’ throughout the book sacrifice so much, by doing this it shows their determination towards receiving their freedom, and their courageousness.

The Author also used courage to show us that you shouldn’t let anyone get in the way of your life or stop you from living your dreams, just how the Mirables sisters didn’t let trujillo get in the way. Throughout the novel Julia Alvares includes many symbols and characterization to teach us how courage and purpose is represented by each of the sisters. Whenever you t

Captivity is a subject that has been discussed thoroughly by many people. Captivity is the main concept touched in Daniel Quinn’s novel, Ishmael, and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Plato makes the compelling argument that people are captives of the world of ignorance. Ishmael complements Plato’s allegory by agreeing that there are two groups of people, that it would be difficult to distinguish the truth, and that people are being deceived.

During the volcano eruption, Julia starts questioning her quality of life. At first, when the news advises citizens not to leave their buildings, Julia thinks she cannot leave the homestead “when the animals [need] to be fed, the cow milked, the chores done” (7). She considers these tasks as her responsibilities and never thinks about them in the past. Yet, as the fear of uncertainty surges in her, she starts to doubt her ability as she thinks that “[she] can’t do anything about a volcano” (12). This pessimistic thought surfaces because of the years of exhaustion and boredom she has harboured to convince herself of her satisfactory life.

Ishmael divides humanity into two groups that enact a story, Takers and Leavers. Takers are humans as described above, blind members of the capitalistic system, who emerged 10,000 years ago with the beginning of the agricultural revolution and civilization. Leavers, on the other hand, are people who lived before that and lived a primitive life-style in the eyes of Takers. Only a few Leavers remain on the planet in the form of native people. Ishmael uses the term “Takers” to describe the modern white man who takes resources from the earth and “Leavers” who left resources for others.

“Two thousand years went down in a dust sound of earth falling” (159, Wuorio). In “The Space Between the Stars”, by Geeta Kothari, and “The Singing Silence”, by Eva-Lis Wuorio, the two main characters, Maya and Vicente, are vastly different. On one hand, Maya is unhappy and lacks a feeling of belonging, while on the other, Vicente exemplifies content and delight along with a purpose. Overall, by examining each story’s main characters, Maya and Vicente, it is evident that they are practically entirely opposite characters.

"Their (Natives) present condition, contrasted with what they once were, makes a most powerful appeal to our sympathies…By persuasion and force they have been made to retire from river to river and from mountain to mountain, until some of the tribes have become extinct and others have left but remnants to preserve for a while their once terrible names. Surrounded by the whites with their arts of civilization, which by destroying the resources of the savage doom him to

Julia Alvarez also uses language to show how the four Garcia girls adjust to living in a new, and to them alien, culture. The protagonist in this novel is the family Garcia de la Torre, a wealthy, aristocratic family from the Santo Domingo, who can trace their genealogy back to the Spanish

Worse than Slavery is a monograph that discusses Parchman Prison and gives various accounts of men and women who lived within the prison. Overall, Parchman was another way for white men to stay in charge and to keep black men oppressed. During this time, ninety percent of the prison population was African American. Although slavery had ended many years prior to the establishment of Parchman, it had many characteristics of slavery. The prison system at Parchman reflects themes of poverty, racism and reform.

To her, freedom was “[keeping] the small rules” so “you could break the big ones” (Orwell 129). Julia doesn't believe in associating herself with an organization such as the Brotherhood because she thinks their pointless and they have no direct impact on her life. She is under the impression she already attained freedom since she is able to indulge in some of the perks that The Party is trying to keep her. Although Julia is not a firm supporter of freedom, she does tend to think with her heart. Even from the beginning Julia has so much confidence in love, she risk her life just to pass a note to Winston which read “I love you” (Orwell 108). Her faith in emotion persisted when she and Winston talk about the consequences of The Party finding out about their love affair. Winston claims that confession is not the worst deed The Party can coerce them do, rather force them to stop loving the other. Julia trusts that “they can't do

The book’s main appeal and power is the author's use of Estrella, who serves as the focal point of all the large issues. In one particular scene, we see Estrella playing with one a naked doll. Estrella asks the naked doll if she was okay and then shook the doll's head “No”. This conversation with the doll can be seen as the sense of denial that takes place in a child’s mind that is not allowed to openly express herself, her fears, her anxieties, and her hopes. She allows the doll to represent her honest feelings about the lifestyle of living she is placed in. She is a unique and interesting individual, who will not grow up to be knocked down by economic issues, difficult labor, and especially men.

The main difference between the Leaver and the Takers is their views on how to live. Takers believed their role is to expand and spread their views of life to others whether or not people want them or not. Whereas Leavers believe everything has a right to live the way it prefers to there is not one single way can be right for everyone, and everyone has a right to select their way as long as it does not infringe on others' right to life. I believe I am much more of a Leaver than a Taker, I feel that everyone does have a different way of living that works for them and no one should be told how to live their life otherwise. Another major difference is how they view the idea of culture and how it is passed down. Leavers culture has evolved since
