Symbol

      In the book there was a scene were a symbol was used to show two wills clashing against each other. This was shown by being described as said " For a moment, I imagine them evenly balanced, his will on one side, mine on the other."(Alverez 115) This was a symbol that represented people back then when they fought against Trujillo. It showed how people tried their best to go against the man that was a danger to them. It showed a lot of significance that even small victories meant to the people. This reminds me of battles that me and my men fought for and sowed a theme defiance against those who ruled unfairly.
