conflict

In The book "In The Time Of The Butterflies" so far there there are different conflicts both internal and external. One internal conflict that occurs in the book was when Patria was having fear of her sister Minerva. Patria is scared for her sister because Minerva speaks out loud about Trujillo. Minerva knows that Trujillo has ears everywhere but she doesn't care, she has her own opinion and speaks the truth, and this makes patria scared for her sister. One External Conflict that happened was in the party that Minerva was at when she was asked to dance with Trujillo. Trujillo was aggressive and Minerva didn't like that and Minerva slapped Trujillo, "I can see my hand in an endless slow motion rise- a mind all its own-and come down on the astonished, made up face(Alvarez #100). Alvarez showed many Conflicts and gave good details of the conflicts.
