The social issue in my novel so far would be alienation. Although the story is based around the main character Naomi trying to recreate the passed of her family through memories and dreams. more specifically the one involving her aunt and recently deceased uncle. Along with there struggle through WWII in Canada. At a point in the story Naomi and Obasan come across picture from 1941 of Naomi's father and uncle in front of a boat the two of them made. following the discovery of the picture Naomi found out that it was moments before the R.C.M.P officers condemned the boat. Adding further insult to injury the R.C.M.P decided to arrested all the Japanese fishermen on sight and impounded their whole fleet. there is also the packages that Naomi explains as "the light that shines in the lives of the Nisei, in their desperation to prove themselves Canadian" this is foreshadowing the hardships and degeneration of Japanese Canadians to come.
