“She took only her imaginary cage filled with papillons, her dreams; this her held to her—her future”(Guy 80). I didn't like Tin Moune’s character so much until I saw this sentence because her courage and reactions are super strong. She didn't do much things against her parents except taking care of Dainel and not doing work, but since Daniel was taken away from her, she started to reacting so nervous and active. When I saw her leave the home with only her dreams, I truly felt the power of her character and the power of dreams and love! I couldn't say anything because I never went out alone with nothing; however, I can still image how lonely and hard for a sixteen years old girl. On my personal perspective, I saw Tin Moube as a sympol of independence and freedom. I know there are so many things involves in love, but independence and freedom are the main topic.

I can always feel Tin Moune doesn't have much freedom and independence, and she wants them so badly and she looks like an outstander in her own village. She is the only person goes to the brook where others are not allowed. Here I see a curious child who is trying to discover more and see more, but rules are limiting her abilities which make her break rules and always want to know more about new things which also explain the reason why she wants to take of Daniel. Because of her desire of new, she started take care of Daniel which is also a decision made on her own, so she is feeling, like finally I can be on my own and I can help others. Then she falls in love with Daniel, but it was too sudden. In my opinion she falls in love with him is not just about love, but also about more proving herself. “I'm not a child, Tonton Julian,” Désirée answered. “I'm sixteen years old—and strong. I have no fear.” (Guy 61). As we can see, she doesn't want Tonton to treat her as a baby anymore because she wants to make her own decisions which is finding her true love Daniel, and she also want Tonton to treat her as a adult who are free as the dreams and butterfly, so she proves herself by going to the big city and finding out the Daniel. With this emotion Tin Moune started her journey which she wishes; however, it won't be easy for her!

I truly like Tin Moune now because she is taking all the pain such as the shoes, couldn't understand the language and Daniel forget who she is which is making her evolving into a new life situation. I know she hopes the dream coming true, but I also understand how hard it is for her to accomplish it. I am looking forward to read more tomorrow. So far, she had shown me a strong character and a great dream. However, as she is showing all her dreams the cage of butterfly will be broken, and I hope she be as free as those dreams!
