In the Time of Butterflies
This was a real good movie. Later in time in the Dominican Republican they had a government named Trujillo. What ever Trujillo said went. If someone in the household did something bad, the man of the house would be the one to be sent to prison, killed , or tortured. At a party one of the Mirabal sisters got into it with Trujillo after he touched her butt and she slapped him. She was the outgoing one out of the sisters. She felt as though he deserved it because he disrespected her by doing that. There father was soon captured and sent to prison and tortured. Years later the Mirabal sisters and their husband were arrested for spreading the word about Trujillo. The Mirabal sisters were let out first but they kept their husbands imprisoned. One day they were coming back from the prison to try and get their husbands out and on the way back they were stopped on the road because Trujillo felt that they had done wrong. They were dragged into a collard patch and beaten to death and killed. This movie was really really good you should watch it too.

This story was good. It shows how people translate different languages for one another and how team work is important in life. In the movie Deborah started treating Christina, the emigrates daughter, like her on child and it disappoints both Flora, the girls mom and also the emigrate,and Bernice,her actual daughter. Flora, the emigrate, and her daughter, Christina, comes from Mexico to America to work for this "wealthy" family. Flora worked as the maid and they put her daughter in an America school while living there. When they first got there Flora's daughter was her translator because she knew no English. Finally towards the end the mother, Flora, learned English for herself.
