English Essay

 Do you think people should be judged by what their family has done ? In Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, you see that people are judged because of their heritage , so I'm going to talk about when ZΓ©lie judged Amari because her family hates ZΓ©lie people. When Inan tells Amari to stab Tzain that's when she said she's not like her dad, “I cannot be  like Father. The maji are not my enemy.’’ 


That there are two sides to every story was shown in the scene where Amari tells Zelie “ My father killed my best friend-”
And Zelie snaps back with “Your best friend or your slave?”
This helps the reader understand that there are two sides to every story.

There is a lot of tension between the forces for magic and those against it.  We see how bad the tension between the maji and Amari people. Zelie hated Amari people because of what her people did to Zelie people and her mum.


King Saran told stories of the Grounders, who used “sand and rock as lethal weapons.”
Binta, a diviner/Amari’s friend, was told different stories about the Grounders - that “they are peaceful, and used their magic to make settlements from the sand.” Amari got told two different
story about the maji but now she see what the truth is now. Now she knows what really is the truth about the maji.

  1. Great writing, Tanaya. You have chosen some important scenes from the novel and have written about what they have helped you to understand.
    Can you add a sentence to each of the last two paragraphs? You should write about how they relate to real life. (What is the lesson?) You have already done this for the first paragraph.

    1. We had a discussion in person and you told me that
      - The second scene makes you think about how people shouldn't be judged because of the family they come from.
      - The third scene makes you think about how there are two sides to every story, and that everyone should find the truth for themselves.
