Whenever I hear the word butterfly, the first word that will come to my mind is the word beautiful. Likewise,I think the best example for beautiful is butterfly. For me, they compromise each other just like how their sounds were alike. If I were to describe a butterfly physically, first thing I would notice aside from how beautiful it was is that it was also small and being small makes them cuter than ever. Another thing is thatthere are tons of different types. Butterfly comes in different colors, different shades, different shapes, different sizes, and different designs on their wings. There are pure black, pure yellow, and pure white in color. Some are dark while others are just light. Mostly, wings are color combination of black or dark ones and then another bright neon color.Butterflies are wonderful creatures. They can’t swim, but they sure are very good at flying. They can fly for long distances and they are also good at eating and giving birth.They used to be a creepy ant, but then they grew out of their “shell” and a beautiful butterfly came out.When I was young, I wondered how the designs or patterns on the butterfly’s wings were made and I don’t get to know how is that so. I was wondering also why butterfly is called a butterfly. Of all the words that can be connected to fly it would be butter. Funny how I wandered about this when I was growing up yet when I was still a child, I don’t mind why and how a butterfly is called like that. What matters to me before is that by just seeing a butterfly makes me feel good, makes me smile so bright, makes me forget how bad my day was, makes me wanna jump of too much excitement and even dance of sheer happiness. It was like a painkiller to me that relieves any kind of negative emotions that I was feeling. It helps me lessen the anger that was building inside of me and also when I’m mad at someone and on something that happens. What is this special kinship we feel for the butterflies? What in our DNA

    1. Bolt has decided to skip two years in history and he uses the Common Man to summarize the intervening events for the audience. The Common Man reports that two Acts of Parliament have been passed. Do some Internet research and summarize what The Act of Supremacy and The Act of Succession state? What was the Treasons Act? 

The Act of Succession, passed in March of 1534, states that the child of Henry and his first wife Catherine, Princess Mary, would now be considered a bastard and therefore not in line for the crown. The child of Henry and Anne Boleyn, Princess Elizabeth, would be next in line for the crown. 
The Act of Supremacy, passed in Nov. 1534, made King Henry the head of the new Church of England. This new religion replaced the Catholic Church with the Pope at its head and required all citizens to be willing to take a vow of allegiance to this Act. 
The Treasons Act was later enacted. This act made it possible to put to death any person who refused to take a vow pledging their acceptance of the Act of Supremacy. This is eventually how Thomas More was executed for treason.…

    In the short play and film adaptation of M Butterfly, David Henry Hwang allows his readers and audience to identify several bilateral misperceptions that overshadow the cultural and political differences between a proclaimed feminine Orient and a foreign devilish West. "M Butterfly" underscores the devaluation of women in general by Western culture, communism and espionage in China during the Vietnam War era, and is also synonymous with one man's fantasy of being loved by what he perceived as the Perfect Woman…a drag-queen.…
