Social Issues

    
     The main social issue in "Strange Angels" by Lili St. Crow is the naivety of the innocent people in Dru's world. You see in this book their are two reality's. There is our reality; naive, violent, peaceful. The only thing we fear in our reality is lack of money or death. Dru's reality is pretty much a nightmare come true. "Hi. I'm Dru Anderson. My father went way out of wack after my mom died and now he travels around hunting things that go bump in the night, killing things you only find in fairy tales and ghost stories." (Crow, 19) Dru is special, she was born with 'the sight' as her Gran called it. Her father was also granted with this gift, they aren't the only one's with this gift. There is a group of people that have this that go on 'missions' to basically keep humanity safe. They act like guardians for humanity. They hunt the vampires, werwulfen, zombies, you name it! Few people are aware of the "Real World" as Dru calls it. The purpose of the naivety of the innocence in this story is basically the axis of Dru's life. She shakes her head at us who fear nothing but lack of money or death when what we really should be afraid of is those unexplainable sounds in the night or that eery feeling of being watched when you're alone. Without this in the book there wouldn't be much of a story, maybe a little action here or there but its there to make the book interesting. It guides you through Dru's life, through the eyes of someone abnormal.
