Post a Comment. Butterflies is a short memoir that describes a memory of author, Roger Dean Kiser, during his time in an orphanage. Kiser illustrates the innocence he had as child when he was around six or seven years old. He begins by explaining the routine he went through each morning. With the other thirty boy who lived in his dormitory, he would wake up, make his bed, and march to breakfast in two straight lines.

This process repeated every morning, as if he lived in a prison instead of an orphanage. After breakfast one Saturday morning, he noticed the house parent chasing and catching butterflies.

After catching the butterflies, the house parent would then pin the butterfly's wings to a cardboard sheet, while it was still alive. Kiser was secretly watching the entire time as he winced at the cruelty of the beauty that was being killed. After the house parent left, Kiser entered the room and stared at the struggling butterfly. He touched the wing, and the pin fell off.

After flying around and trying to free its other wing, the butterfly broke its wing off and fell to the ground.
