Children of Blood and Bone Chapter 66 – Inan

 Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust. For him, carving maggot into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zรฉlie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.

This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?
This could be compared to ~ When Pee-Kay from the Power of one was called the rain maker and that is what he went by, Also in the prison the were three different tribes and they all sang there favourite so Pee Kay made a song about the Guards and let the three tribes sing tougher.

A message I take from this scene is ~ That Inan's Father criticises people and puts some people down by classifying them as something they don't like getting called, They are also all people not all of the Maji are bad people, But Inan's Father does not see that in Zelie.




Children of Blood and Bone Part 03 Chapter 56

   We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides. Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving their joy, their life.

The children of Orรฏsha dance like there’s no tomorrow, each step praising the gods. Their mouths glorify the rapture of liberation, their hearts sing the Yoruba songs of freedom. My ears dance at the words of my language, words I once thought I’d never hear outside my head. They seem to light up the air with their delight.
It’s like the whole world can breathe again.

This could be compared to ~ Maori language week with the sentence (My ears dance to the words of my language)

A message I take from this scene is ~ When Zeile says it's like the whole world can breathe again its like she is saying when she gets her magic back saying she can breathe again.

I walked towards the gate drop zone and my pink dirt bike with the number 123 on the side was there waiting for me.  As I was in 3rd place petrol woofed in my face. There was a dry dusty feeling on my tongue. The heat from my exhaust pipe was warm on my leg. Other engines roared past me
