Long Answer
1. Anita in the beginning of the novel is a curious pre-pubescent girl who is described as talkative. By Chapter 7, she has started menstruating and has stopped asking many questions about the political situation in the Dominican Republic. While menstruation is a biological rite of passage, Anita’s change in personality is a reaction to the changing political situation in the Dominican Republic. (Various Chapters)
