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.

George Floyd: What happened in the final moments of his life - BBC ...
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.
  

When he was born:
14 October 1973 (Aged 46)  
Where he was born:

 Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States 

When he died:
25 May 2020  

Where he died:
 Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

Why he died: It began with a report of a fake $20 (£16.20) bill 
Floyd grew up in Houston, Texas. He played football and basketball throughout high school and college. He held several working-class jobs, and he was also a hip hop artist and a mentor in his religious community. Between 1997 and 2005, he was convicted of eight crimes; in 2009, he accepted a plea bargain for a 2007 aggravated robbery, serving four years in prison. In 2014, he moved to the Minneapolis area, finding work as a truck driver and a bouncer. In 2020, he lost his security job during the COVID-19 pandemic. He died while being arrested for allegedly using counterfeit money to buy cigarettes; Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for nearly eight minutes.
