__Social Issue Revelance:__ This book dealt with sexism. The female character, Susan Carol, was descriminated because of her gender. When Stevie first saw her, He thought she was not as good as him just because she was a girl. The dictionary definition for sexism is: Prejudice or descrimination based on sex, especially with women. One of the biggest stereotypes based on sexism, is peoples place in work. For example, the men are suppose to do the manual labor, annd bring home the check. But the women are suppose to stay at home and clean, and cook. That stereotype has been disapearing more and more lately, with women being more impowered, with more rights. For instance, women can be in the military now. Well that definately shows how far we've come, but that definately doesn't meen it does not exist anymore. Women working 41-44 hours per week earn 84.6% of what a male would earn for the same labor, and the same hours. I feel as if that is not right. I feel like everybody should be treated equally.
