Children of Blood and bone chapter 59

“How will I coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak,
your father calls for my head!”
“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s misguided, but his fear is
justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring.
They’ve never experienced anything like this.” He gestures to the camp, faces
alight with so much hope his smile practically glows in the darkness. “Zulaikha
created this in one moon, and there are already more diviners in Lagos than
anywhere else in Orïsha. Just imagine what we could accomplish with the
resources of the monarchy behind us.”

A message I can take from this scene is that later on in the book that there will be no diviners or majis left and Inan is a bit hopeful because of what he is doing to other people and I think that it is not a good idea because he could do something wrong.

Children of blood and bone chapter 52

“I’ll prove myself to you, to all of you,” Inan declares. “You’re on the right side
of this. My only desire is to stand there as well.”
“Good.” I lean forward to hug him, holding on to his promise.
But when his hands wrap around my back, all I can think of are how his fingers
are resting just above my scars.

A message take from this scene is that Inan wants people to trust him and not go against him.

Do you trust Inan does he deserve another chance

I don't trust Inan because he might go and kill everyone and he does not deserve another chance because of what he might do

Do people in real life deserve another chance yes because they could change their behaviour from bad to good?

Children of blood and bone chapter 49

Strike, Amari.
Father’s voice rings in my head, but it’s not his strength I need.
Be brave, Amari. Binta soothes instead.
Be the Lionaire.

This can be compared to different strengths because people have a lot of different strengths than other people and one strength could be fighting for what is right.

The power of one

This is my term 2 assessment on The Power of One film

In the Power of One film director  John Advilsen and the scene, we are talking about is ‘Going for a Run’ with P.K and Gideon Duma (1:29). Some of the film techniques used in the scene are pan, long shot, non-diegetic sounds, and facial expressions. These film techniques help the audience show that they mixed the black and whites people and they do not get on well with each other except P.K and Gideon Duma because they are good boxing friends and partners.

In the scene going for a run, the director uses a tracking shot on P.K and Gideon Duma and it shows the line of black people waiting for the toilet 

 On the way to the bus station, they run pass a huge line for the toilet. P.K asks Gideon duma why is there a long line and Gideon duma replies the government only supplies only one toilet for every 200 of us.

The director did this to show the audience how long the line for the toilet is. And how many people are waiting in line?

This helps us understand that P.K wants to know what the huge line is for and why only one toilet for every 200 people. This is where the tracking shot is used because they are running and the camera is moving backward. and shows the long line and shows apartied by the difference between the black and whites. 

This aspect can be compared to Maria’s house because the black people live in little shelters and maria and her family live in a big fancy mansion with 2 or more toilets. We know this because they have different toilets because they have servants and they have to use their toilets.

What am I proud of?

Something I am proud of is I wrote something down for the assessment. Also, I think I am working at the level of year 10 English.

Something I can do next time to improve could describe my examples using more details and I could make links to the wider world or experience.


One thing I enjoyed learning about film was that all country don't have one toilet for every 200 people and only 2% of people in Africa can go to school and learn and they have to live in tiny shelters made out of sheets of metal and wood and other people live in big warm fancy houses.

One thing I found challenging about learning about the film was understanding the start of the film

One thing I learned that I will use the next time I write an essay is to use paragraphs and full sentences.

Children of blood and bone chapter 39

My handshakes. The moment to kill still hangs between us. Yet I can’t bring myself to move.
Not when all I see is the scared and broken girl.
It’s like seeing her for the first time: the human behind the maji. Fear embedded in the pain. A tragedy caused in Father’s name.
Father…
The truth sears, a bitter liquor burning down my throat.
Zélie’s memories don’t hold the villains Father always warned of. Only families, he tore apart.


This can be compared to tragedies in real life because they are really bad and people get really hurt and have to go to the hospital to get fixed up. Also, people could die and their family would cry and be sad.


My prediction to the story is that Zelie and Inan are going to rescue Zane and Amari from the badies and there going to rescue them by splitting apart and going there own ways because they won't get captured.
