Quarter 4 - Blog #5

For this blog, I'm going to blog again about the book I'm reading for class, In the Time of the Butterflies. The book is based on a true story, and I only have about 10 pages left. But in the end of the book, the three butterflies are killed. I find this really sad because they were just innocent people who wanted to better the lives of everyone. The girls were driving home from just visiting their husbands in jail, which they often do. They have to drive on a twisty-turvy deserted road. What makes it more sad is that on their way there, Minerva realized that she had a card in her purse and on the back is said "AVOID THE PASS", but it was already too late, as they were on their way. On their way back, Minerva also said that she didn't want to say overnight and wait for the storm to end, and insisted on going home. They were assassinated, a long with the driver about 10 minutes later. This is so sad to me because they were given all of these clues, but chose to ignore them.
