Contemporary Relevance

  My teen issue for my novel is war. War is when two or more government groups that are states or soon to be states fight each other with weapons. This does not include fights between single people, or gangs. It leads to the death of many people of all ages, and even destroys home to many living things. One of the only ways for it to stop is for the governments to negotiate to come up with deal that the governments would be happy with. But more war will continue coming and it wont stop easily.

  Three ways it relates to the book is that the main problem is about war between Pakistan and Bangladesh, and how Bangladesh is being overpowered since Pakistan has more armies and stronger weapons. There are also people dying and suffering since they aren’t able to be free from the soldiers and have to listen to them no matter what. The book also focuses on how a family would act when they’re at war and how they decide to help their country.
