For anyone who has read ANIMAL DREAMS what is the statement the author is making and how is it illustrated ?

PLEASE answer if you can i’m in need!

Animal Dreams is a 1990 novel by Barbara Kingsolver. A woman named Codi Noline goes back to her hometown of Grace, Arizona to help her aging father, who is fighting Alzheimer’s. She then takes a high school teaching job and lives with an old high school friend. Animal Dreams features Kingsolver’s trademark – alternating perspectives throughout the novel. Some chapters are told from the perspective of Codi, while others are told from her father Homer’s perspective.

The novel features some Hispanic and Native American themes. Codi’s sister, Hallie, moves to Nicaragua to teach local people more sustainable farming techniques and dies after having been captured by the Contras. Another political theme in the novel is the town’s fight against the mining interests whose polluted water will eventually force residents to abandon it.

In addition to political themes like these, many of Kingsolver’s novels also feature images and themes from biology. Animal Dreams is rich with natural imagery and the study of the created world. And, as with most Kingsolver novels, this one is laced with genial humor.
