In the novel, women are certainly not treated as equals to men. Using incidents in this chapter (or previous chapters) as a launching point, argue whether women are or are not treated as equals in American society today. (If you have ever lived for an extended time in another country, say Brazil for example, you can also talk about that country's treatment of women.) Women here today should be treated equally. In the novel,"In the times of the butterflies"women aren't treated fairly. When Minerva's papa went to jail. Trujilio says that she can help her father get out by sleeping with him. He wants to sleep with all the younger women that he likes,and that is not equal to women in the novel. Up to this day a lot of women still aren't treated right. Globally. Here's all the reasons why women still aren't treated equally,a lot of men thinks women are weak,and thinks that they are dominating women because they are a "strong man." Violence against women,domestic abuse,harassment and rape. Women paid less than men. Women shouldn't be treated unequally because without them. NO HAPPINESS. I strongly believed that women shouldn't be treated unfairly.

Have you ever been in a situation where your friend (romantic or platonic) causes stress between you and your family members? Referencing moments in the novel that remind you of your own experience, tell that story?. I have been in a situation where my family wouldn't let me hangout with my friends,because they were doing some bad things,like how Dede and Minerva couldn't hangout with Lio,because he's a communist, and the police wants him,the Mirabal family doesnt like him because they are "enemies of state".My brother saw my friends smoking ,and told it to my mom.They thought that i was smoking with them everytime we hangout( I do not smoke!).Also they told me that they are bad influence ,but for me they're not.It is hard to sneak out, and lie ,just to hangout with them.In the novel "In the Times of the Butterflies",Dede and Minerva lies about not hanging out with Lio and covers him up from the police.My friend didn't influenced me anything bad,its just the fact that they smokes,Lio is a good person but he has to turn himself in.I feel like my story is pretty close from the novel.
In the novel "In The Time Of The Butterflies"Dede,the main character,was reluctant to talk to the reporter,because she did not want the reporter to know about the past tragedy of her sisters,about their deaths.
