Passage: Chapter 22 of Summer of the Mariposas

Review paragraphs 37–43.

Which of the following statements BEST describes the resolution of Summer of the Mariposas?

37 “Odilia.” Papá took my hand and tugged on it gently, pulling me in closer to kiss me on the cheek and caress my hair. “You look beautiful. Have a good time.”

38 “Thanks for coming,” I said, taking my hand out of his and turning away from him.

39 “Okay,” he whispered. Then, taking one last look around the yard, he turned around and walked away. As he disappeared behind the lime trees lining the side of our house, I stood trembling in my bare feet, wondering if we’d ever be close again, the way we were before he’d abandoned us.

40 Juanita came up behind me. She stood silently beside me, looking past the trees and shrubs at the lone figure of a man moving away from our house, crossing the street, and finally driving away in his car.

41 “And he didn’t even bring a present,” Juanita lamented. She put her arms around me protectively and leaned in to kiss my cheek.

42 “He did,” I said, swallowing my tears. Her warmth engulfed me. “You just can’t see it.”

43 I turned around and looked for Mamá. She wasn’t dancing anymore. She was standing across the yard pulling the twins and Pita into her arms and laughing at something. It was at that very moment that I knew with certainty we would always be one, together forever, protecting our loved ones, braving the wind and illuminating the sky.

• Odilia has learned that presents are not the most important thing in life

• Odilia has gained a new sense of optimism about her family and the future.

• Odilia has accepted that her family is troubled and will always be that way.

• . Odilia has enjoyed her family at the party but is worried about the future.

Part A: Read the following excerpt from chapter 20: “I must have knelt there for at least fifteen more minutes before mass started and I had to join Mamá and my sisters at their seats.
