"In the time of butterflies" is a book that’s filled with mystery, humor, and many more emotions. The fact that it takes the reader on an emotional journey makes the novel a page turner, and very enjoyable to read. All four of the sisters in this novel have different personalities, and characteristics, but in a way they are all so similar. For this blog entry I’m going to take a look at Minerva, the second oldest sister, and my favorite character. Minerva was truly an inspiration to most, and incredibly bold. I see exactly why Mate looked up to her, and idolized her so much. In Minerva's narratives, every word is strong, and most readers may say that she’s extremely self-involved, and self-centered. I disagree because it’s evident throughout the book that Minerva cares a lot for her family, and is empathetic for the cause she’s fighting for. She knew she was risking her life to stand up for this cause, and ensure a better future for others. I consider this heroic, and not self-centered. Minerva is extremely strong willed, and determined; two qualities that I believe everyone should have in order to make things happen.
