Characters:

Female Narrator
Dad
Célianne(The pregnant teenager)
Manman (Narrator's mom)


Plot:

Male and female narrators have kept a connection on writings they write to each other. The female narrator feels bad that her father doesn't approve their relationships, but she finds out he spent everything to protect her under the threatening of soldiers at that time. When the female narrator's family found out that their neighbor is get killed by soldiers, the male narrator started his journey to escape to Haiti. On the boat, there is a pregnant girl, who got raped by a soldier and the girl is called Celianne. Celianne throws the baby and her expectations to the future off the boat in the end. The female narrator saw a black butterfly in the end and realized that the male narrator has died too.

In such background, people live in a chaotic environment. There is no justice or strength to reject the authority and its branches. The theme is focusing on how to reflect the miserable experience by letters from two narrators. The story is related to the violence, death, sex, and morality. Those factors are still existing around our lives, but they are enhanced in the story.
