Quarter 4 - Blog #4

For this blog I'm going to blog about the book we are reading in class. I am reading the book In The Time of the Butterflies it's a really good book, and based on a true story. It is about an underground movement to overthrow the dictator, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic in the 1950s. There are four sisters who don't like the government and just want what's best for everyone. El Jefe demands that every person hang a picture of him in their home, school, work, etc. If not, they will be jailed. He does things like this, but these end up getting Minerva, the main character in trouble. In the end three of the four sisters are assassinated because they are threatening his power. One sister is still living today and tells the story. There is also a movie base on the book called In The Time of the Butterflies.
