The representation of Anita's dream was that there would be increased political tensions.

<h3>What are Narratives?</h3>

This refers to the storytelling that is made with the aid of a narrator to show the sequence of an event in the story.

Hence, we can see that Anita has a dream that represents the dictatorship of the Trujillo regime and how her uncles try to overthrow the government which causes her extended family to flee.

These events build internal conflict for Anita as everything she has ever known is crumbling to her eyes.
