As I finished reading the book "In The Time of The Butterflies" I couldn't help but notice that Minerva shows the most courage throughout the whole novel. As a young women she slaps Trujillo for what she feels was an inappropriate behavior and defends herself and her family from his attitudes. As Minerva grows into an adult she books a resistance group that is determined to overthrow Trujillo. She actively recruits other to join the resistance. Minerva and her sisters then become imprisoned but she doesn't not have any fear she bravely faces the situation and uses it to further promote the cause. She also helps the women in prison and uses her time to teach them to live a better life and inform them of the rsistance. Minerva Mirabal is a strong independent women and I hope to one day be like her.
