This narrative focuses on the harrowing journey of Isabel and her family as they bravely attempt to flee Cuba. They face numerous life-threatening challenges, including encounters with the US Navy, a massive tanker, and dangerous waves that threaten to capsize their boat.
Who is the villain in this story(politically, in my view)
Castero(their prime minester)
How will they escape(transportation)
My hypothesis is that they will travel on boat, and make sure they reach U.S.A before the government catches them

What problems are they facing when they are escaping
they have met the US navy, because Mami was giving birth to Isabel's brother, on the boat. The boat doesn't have any motor now, since Isabel kicked it off the boat to make it float. they're so close to getting into Miami, but Lito, had to sacrifice himself so that Isabel can go to Miami.
they have met some sharks on their way to Miami, and Ivan's leg got eaten, allowing him to die on the boat.
they have reached the bahamas, and Isabel's mother can give birth to Isabel's baby brother, and the police officer said that they had to return to cuba so that she can give birth,but they can give her a checkup. Isabel's mother doesn't want to give birth to her son in cuba.
they also ost the medicine, so if someone gets sick on board, they could die
after they met the tanker at sea, the waves that followed the tanker, were just as dangerous as the tanker, it could flip the boat, but luckily, it didn't, but instead senor castillo fell out of the boat
1 day, after they escaped from Cuba, they met a tanker, that was heading right for them, they could get crushed
What is the problem in the country
Her father is one of this people, he has tried to escape 2 times, but now he needs to leave Cuba forever
People have tried to escape to the north(el norte) to get to U.S.A
The Soviet Union falls, so then the all the resources that Cuba had received are no longer being sent to them
