It’s the first day of school and everyone looks at Myra Sayla differently than everyone else. Feeling like you don’t belong and having kids talk behind your back, and laugh at you would make most people want to change. But in this story, Day of the Butterfly, Myra doesn’t feel that way. To her, just having one friend would be amazing and lift up more confidence about herself. Myra is confused because she doesn’t know why nobody likes her. Readers can relate to Myra because "Day of the Butterfly" is a realistic story that has to do with real life. You would think that it’s the main character that realizes a lesson, but it’s actually not. Myra grows and doesn’t let things her to her.
Any person in this position would do whatever there is to fit in and change. But with Myra it’s different; something just comes to her and it gets a lot better. But things don’t turn out for the better; it’s worse. She is not excepted at first but then when she get leukemia things change a lot. People start to realize that something is suspicious about her not being at school, so people find out that she’s in the hospital with Leukemia. That could happen with anyone, getting diagnosed with Leukemia and the kids at school that were mean to Myra felt bad. Especially when she ends up dying. So much can be learned and a valuable lesson.
Going through what Myra went through was very very tuff and difficult. She went through so much with kids not treating her right and the chemo that had to be done with the Leukemia. But Myra still never had it get to her and that’s what made her so strong.
