Children of blood and bone essay



Do all Humans deserve to be treated equally?
Well, in the book Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi,
Amari the daughter of the ruthless of Orisha what the victim of the subject
because of her Father ( King Saran) was a ruthless, overpowering
ruler that only cared about himself.

In Chapter 9, Zelie miss judged Amari because of her family background
and her heritage. This is shown when in chapter 9 when Zelie drags Amari
into the fire because she sees Amari’s father in her. Amari screams but Zelie
doesn't want a bar of it. Zelie hates Amari’s family because her father and his
men killed thousands of Maji’s. At this, Amari and Zelie bearly know each other
and don't understand one another nor do they understand that they are different
from their family's. although, like the hunger games both people are from
different families and different backgrounds. Zelie and Amari just met and
Zelie already has a hatred towards Amari because of her family.


In chapter 45, Zelie judges Inan (Amari’s brother) and treats her like the rest
of their family. Like when Zelie says “Your people, your guards.
They’re nothing more than killers, rapists and thieves.
The only difference between them and criminals is the uniforms they wear.”
Zelie categorises all of Inan’s and Amari’s family and people as criminals
and terrorist just because of what King Saran (their father) and his guards
have done to the Majis. Does Zelie not know that there are more fish in the sea?
That there are more than evil? Well, she soon finds out.

Well, in chapter 41 Inan finally sees how evil and heartless his father is.
When Inan cuffs Zelie’s wrist tight, he said to himself “I let go of her wrists,
but inside I let go of so much more. Father’s tactics. His Orïsha. Everything
I now realize I don’t want to be”. He wants to be King of Orisha, a better king
for Orisha. Inan wants a better Orisha, An Orisha that gets along and doesn't
fight but his father is still in power and his father wants the opposite.
You see, Inan has never been out of the castle and has never experienced new
people and people with different views but since he had been out he wants to
do better for Orisha. His duty has always been to Orisha but he wants Orisha
to be a better place for all and so no one suffers.


In conclusion, Amari and Inan finally see what the rest of Orisha is like
and wants to change what their father wants. Zelie could see past all history
and now is trying to save her people and Inan wants the best for Orisha.
People deserve forgiveness if they earn it and we need to stop judging books
by their covers.
