Cell #1
The main characters are Clayton Riddell, “mustache guy”, Franklin, Tom, and Alice. The story starts out in total chaos around Boston. Clayton notices everyone on their cell phones then turns into “Zombies”. Clayton Riddell, “mustache guy”, Franklin, Tom, and Alice all are grouped together to stay alive. Can’t identify any social issues right now.

well, i believe that some of the social issues that are in this story is that people have to survive through this castrophic events going on around them. The world of cell phones causing people to go "crazy", on the world burnig up. This is a great novel so far and i feel it wiil only get better.
I think you do have to look a little into the underlying meaning of things to maybe find the social issues. I was thinking of a commercial on tv right now for the new Windows phone, its tagline is "a phone to save us from our phones." Are cell phones a convenience that gives us greater access or a leash that keeps us tied down and unable to truly enjoy our daily lives?
King usually has a pretty solid approach in placing his characters into scenes where reaction is forced, and interplay is demanded. I think you'll have no issues in seeing the social issues arise in the later chapters of the book.
Later on in the story Alice, Tom and Clay are invited to stay at gatien academy with "head master A" and Jordan, a student at the academy. Tom, Alice and Tom are told by the two new people that the soccer field is where all the phone crazies are "re-booting" themselves and they all make a decission to blow up the soccer feild and when they succeed with that the "head crazy" man comes to they and wants them to make there way to wakamak and Clay really wants to go there to find his son and the others are concidered "outcasts" for killing the groups. So they want to go another route. Anyway the book ends with Clay finding his son and thats is it.
