The excerpt from Chapter 5 reveals Dede's admiration for Minerva's assertiveness. The excerpt is culled from The Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.

<h3>Dede and Minerva - The Time of the Butterflies</h3>

The author's depiction of Dede shows her to be practical compliant and gentle. She is the one who gives over her own to make peace amongst those that she loves.

On the other end of the spectrum is Minerva. Minerva is bold, adventurous, strong-willed, and idealistic.

Although Minerva is the courageous one, Dede is the one who ends up dedicating her life to the upbringing of her fallen sister's children, thus keeping their legacy as heroes alive.

The correct answer, thus, is A.

In Chapter 5, the author's portrayal of Dede reveals to the reader <u>A. Dede's admiration</u> of Minerva's assertiveness, as captured by Julia Alvarez in "In the time of the Butterflies".

<h3>In the Time of the Butterflies</h3>

<em>Julia Alvarez's "In the Time of the Butterflies" </em>shows that Dede had a split perspective about Minerva and her other sisters. But when she later grew up, she came to realize that the sisters fought against the injustice hoisted on them and the nation by the Dominican Republic's longtime dictatorship led by Trujillo’s government.

Thus, the author's portrayal of Dede does not reveal to the reader about Dede's surprise at Minerva's behavior, her realization of Minerva's flaws, or her irritation with Minerva's assertiveness but <u>Option A</u>.

Throughout the narration, Rukmani acknowledges her mistakes and weaknesses. Eventually, her perspective is one of a person who has learned to be less selfish, more comprehensive, and to priorize the things that are really important to her.

In the case of Kenny, his point of view comes from a more prejudiced person, who sees himself as superior regarding Indian people.

One of the factors for them to have different perspectives on life is POVERTY. Another factor is PERSONALITY, since Kenny is less emphatic and more skeptical than Rukmani.

At first, Dr. Kenny believed that Indian people needed some philosophical orientation and material assistance. These people were foolish in his eyes because he couldn't understand how deep their poverty is and how much tied they are to their spiritual convictions. Eventually, her recognizes and accepts that many people rely on their faith as a support to face their suffering. After Rukmani notices that they are in God's hands, it is understood that Kenny realizes this is the only choice people have to deal with their situations.
