Post #5 Social Issues

Bustin, Pam. Mostly happy. Saskatoon, Sask.: Thistledown Press, 2008. Print

Throughout this book, there are many social issues. A few of those include, poverty, death, crime, abuse and rape. I felt that the purpose of adding these social issues to the novel was to create pathos in the reader. While reading this novel you start to feel sympathetic towards the characters and what they are or have already gone through. This story is also about life, and these issues are definitely a part of life.
