 This is about the power of failure. 

It's about learning from your failures. Learning about your resilience "It was pretty bad" Akira Ioane said. "I got sick and tired of trying to impress lots of people. And when I lost my enjoyment, I sort of lost my way. The Maori All Blacks, the Blues, and an appearance off the bench for the All Blacks against France on their 2017 northern tour.  Hoping for a place in the 2019 All Blacks World Cup Ioane missed out after a public roasting from coach steve.

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. Zélie’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 Orïsha 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.
