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>.

Answer:

The best way to repair a friendship that has been strained is by going directly to the friend and talking to them about it. Don't talk to someone else behind the person's back because that could, and will, just lead to more unwanted drama. t Be the bigger person and even if you didn't do anything wrong still apologize. This will make the person more likely to apologize back as well. Also, you should talk about what happened and why the friendship is strained. If you feel like the relationship has been toxic, then I suggest that you leave for your emotional, physical, and mental safety. The best way to do this is to talk to the friend and if they put everything on you like it is all of your fault and like they did nothing, then talk to them and say, "It has been nice knowing you, I wish for you to have a happy future and a happy life, but I'm not wanting to be in it. I have my reasons and I don't feel the need to share them with you. Goodbye (insert name here)."

Explanation:

I hope this helps you with whatever it is.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

So Huckleberry Finn is different from Tom Sawyer because he likes to get into trouble. However Tom Sawyer also likes getting into trouble but, he ends up going to live with his aunt sally because of some things that occurred in the story. I think that overall, Tom Sawyer is more mature than Huckleberry Finn though.
