What Does Time Flies Mean To Me

97 Words1 Page

Time Flies…. This Christmas marks my 10th year living in Canada. As I look back on the last ten years, a few months after moving to an utterly different part of the world, who would have thought that OrKidstra would become such a big part of my life and make me the person I am today. This marks the ninth year of this program and each year, it keeps getting better and better. I am truly grateful for all the adventures and the memories you have given me, and the endless hours you have put in me.

    I hope your summer was just as good as mine. This summer I read the The Boys in the Boat, and I enjoyed the author’s details about how the olympics went upon their success. I was very surprised how the author was very detailed about the struggles they overcome. As I was reading, I thought of our team sports class and how Daniel James Brown’s descriptions of not giving up and working together as one related to our classes discussions about playing certain sports.

    Often in works of literature, symbolism reveals significant information about characters and the theme of the work as a whole. Symbolism in the novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, is an example of this. The novel is set in the Dominican Republic, during a period of the tyrannical control of Rafael Trujillo. The Mirabal sisters, (Patria, Dede, Minerva, and Maria Teresa) from whom the point of view is set, are involved in the underground movement to rebel against Trujillo’s regime. Alverez uses symbolism to support the idea that those who may be initially considered harmless can make the biggest impact.
