The book I am currently reading is City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. This book is part of the Mortal Instruments trilogy. I think there are many social issues in this book. Some are like a metaphor to social problems in reality. One example is that Jace and the other Shadowhunters treat Clare like a mundane (human) instead of a Shadowhunter which she really is. Also they treated Simon like a monster just because he is a Downworlder (more specifically vampire). I think this is a metaphor of how people treat other people differently just because they are different. I say everyone is different from each other and everyone should be treated equally. Racism a very big social problem. I think they are stating it metaphorically to show how big this social problem is in an interesting way.
Another thing is that you hide something very important. In the book Alec a Shadowhunter is gay but hasn't told anyone. But his friends found out by his actions when he sees Magnus a warlock. His friends haven't asked him and by his actions I think he doesn't want anyone to know about him. There are social issues everywhere from reality to books.
