The butterfly is a good symbol for this book because it represents the evolution a person goes through from birth to death and the changes that they go through. Myra starts out closed off and insecure. At the moment when she gets the butterfly it is like she is coming out of the cocoon and spreading her wings. But with life there comes death. The Butterfly is a good example of something that goes through many changes before it dies. Even though Myra was only 11 she had gone through changes in her own life. So as the butterfly dies at the end of its life cycle she is about to die at the end of hers.
