I have noticed through reading, novelist, take in consideration current events that is trivial to the time period to write about, or even if a huge event in the past was trivial enough, the writer would write about that as well. The question brought to mind, however, is defining what trivial is considered. Each person may consider what trivial is. Is trivial something that is life and death? Does it have to do with family, concerning a family member? Concerning your own life? What are the characteristics of trivial so that it can be written about and change ideals around the world.
Looking at The Dew Breaker I was trying to define what characteristics make it stand out from other novels. The big issue which is being addressed is the issue with the Hatian government and those who are torturing the civilians and citizens of the country. Danticat explores further in-depth about how those who were involved with this issue, deeply, were affected by it. And with that, it brings up other issues, more personal issues with the family, more intimate. Which one is more trivial? Is one issue more important than the other issue?
