    In In The Time of the Butterflies, Julia Alvarez utilizes the power struggle between Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic in 1994 and the Mirabal sisters, who try to overthrow the government, as a means to demonstrate the power struggle the people faced during this time period of Trujillo’s reign. Trujillo is a man who thrives on power and put spies in place to make sure that none of the people were even hinting towards a revolt. When Papa makes a snide comment about Trujillo being a female ruler, in that moment, “the dark fills with spies who are paid to hear things and report them down at Security” (Alvarez 10).

  • How Do Honey Bees Affect The Environment

    370 Words  | 2 Pages

    In contrast to endotherms, the ectotherms such as butterflies regulate their body temperature by adapting to the environment. This affects their effectiveness in the environment because they must accommodate with whatever their surroundings provide. Much research was shown by evidence how the honey bees survive low temperatures, but scientists are still hypothesizing on how they deal with higher temperature when evidence shows that honey bees do not stop working in hot temperatures. Scientists compared the honey bees to the bumble bees because they hypothesize that the honey bees function similarly to the bumble bees. Because the bumble bees have large abdomens, they are able to radiate and release their heat and cool down effectively (“How Honeybees Keep Their Cool”).
