Questions about In the Time of the Butterflies by Julie Alvarez: Is there a hero, are there any major symbols?

Are there sections in the book that stray from Standard English? How would the novel’s content been altered if the authors style was different?

I haven’t read the book, but I’ve seen the movie with Salma Hayek. Her character is the heroine and protagonist. There are other minor hero characters along the way that inspire her, but hers is the heroic character.

There are many major symbols. The butterfly becomes a symbol for her and her sisters. Her father is symbolic of his generation.
