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>.

<em>Atlas Shrugged - The Trilogy</em>

You know when you're sick and need something mindless to watch? And the thing you pick turns out to be so terrible that you almost become sicker? That describes the Atlas Shrugged trilogy.

I could spend hours going on about how bad this movie was but here are some of the lowlights.

First off...the cast changes from movie to movie...not the characters the actors playing them. Whether it was because the people making the films were running out of money and the subsequent sequels were budgeted lower grade I don't know but...it was a wee bit off putting.

Secondly...the whole trilogy is shot in some sort of soft focus sort of thing more reminiscent of softcore entertainment from the 90s. Maybe it was intended to make it more sci-fi-ish or something but...again...no clue.

Thirdly...the dialogue. I have never ready Ayn Rand's work nor do I care to but...my god...if these movies are even a faint reflection of her work then it so so heavy handed and over the top that it's more than slightly cringeworthy.

Fourthly the editing was/is atrocious. Characters appear and disappear almost at will. Little explanation is given to motive or...anything.

I freely admit I watched it until the end out of...self loathing or something I don't know but...if you don't want to make yourself even sicker...avoid it at all costs.
