In life it's hard to stand up for what you believe in because sometimes people can laugh or try to put you down. In the book The Butterfly Revolution, it gave a lot of action into how some people stood up for themselves and others would do wrong choices. A child by the name of Frank Reilly, was a straight A student who had huge eyes and was brave enough to stand up for himself to be leader and begin a revolution. As an experience to the children who went to the camp, had a crazy experience that turned out of control. He was a kid who somehow had control over everyone because he would confuse him. Nobody would want to confront Reilly as a group and stop the revolution because they were too afraid of the consequences they might have to pay.Then, the kids from camp didn't realize that the more confusion they had the more control Frank would have over them. He didn't want to stop the revolution until he thought it was safe to do so. But Frank was completely wrong. Problems would keep getting worse and worse. An example was like when Frank and Stanley disliked each other when in reality they caused a crime by killing Mr. Warren. Nobody knew about it until the cops came and Stanley confessed about it. He said that Frank holded his arms while he stabbed Mr. Warren. Everything got so out of control in the revolution. The kids were manipulated with the way Frank gave out his speeches.Winston knew that everything he would say were pure lies. The revolution was suppose ably to have fun. Frank had the plans and others would put it in action. What had saved Winston into going into jail was his diary. He would write every night before sleeping of how he felt. The biggest problem was saying the pledge because Winston didn't believe in God. He stood up for his rights and ended up not saying the pledge. In this book it showed me that if people don't really stand up for themselves things can go really wrong. In Butterfly revolution three people were murdered and it was only because one guy wanted to have fun.
