In the book Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, There are many issues. One of these issues being war. This issue are not treated that well throughout the course of this book.
One way the issue is not treated is that 'Verity', the main character, is captured during World War II when her plane is crashed in Nazi-Territory. When her squadron finds this out, they don't go after her and don't help her. For example, in the book it says, "I cannot believe that they did not come back for me, rotten buggers..." This proves that issues are not being treated.
Another example of how issues are not being treated in this book is because when Maddie, Verity's best friend writes back to the RAF's (Royal Air Force) headquarters to tell them that they have left behind Verity, they say that she wasn't qualified to write to them because she was a woman. And at that time nobody cared. For example in the text it says, "You cannot receive or write to anyone in the RAF because you have not the necessary qualifications. Women cannot write to RAF figures." This is another way that issues are not being treated in the book.
In conclusion, I think that Code Name Verity taught us that sometimes you have to face situations like this alone. It also teaches us that even though it may seem that you have the hardest hardships of them all, that is most likely not true.
