Imagine living in the town for your whole kid life and you have to take care of your little brother. You cannot play with your friends because your little brother is scared because kids are waiting for him to corner him. This is how the children feel in the story "Day Of The Butterfly".
In the 1960’s in the United States children in the south had to go to certain schools because of their color. In this story boys and girls are seperated by gender. The girls were mean to each other and they didn’t even include Myra the main character. They were nasty to Myra because the girls didn’t like Myra and they were mocking her because of the time period. In the 1960’s it is the same situation but then they were separated by color than gender.
A symbol from the story is the butterfly because it symbolizes friendship. The butterfly came from her friend in a box of Cracker Jack. Helen is being friendly because she doesn’t want Myra get caught in the same situation as the narrator. And Helen doesn’t get caught in the same situation as Myra after all.
In conclusion Myra doesn’t get in the same situation so Myra’s life wont be as bad as Helen’s. I learned that you shouldn't be criticized because of your color or your gender.

You did a good job going into detail with the story. It seemed that you really understood the story and liked to talk about it but I think that you have lots of summary. That's a good thing, but you have to give explanations to what your support paragraph is about, rather than just all summery. The organization was great.
