Children of Blood and Bone ll Chapter 3

Today I am learning to relate to a quote from the story to my experience.

Chapter 2 - Amari
“I am afraid not, Your Highness. I saw it with my own eyes. Their magic was weak, but it was there.”
Skies… What does this mean for us? What shall happen to the monarchy? Are the maji already planning an attack? Will we have any chance of fighting back? Memories of Father before the Raid play in my head, a paranoid man with grinding teeth and forever graying hair. The man who forced Inan and me into the palace cellar, placing swords in our hands though we were far too young
and weak to lift them. The maji will come for you, he warned. The same words every time he forced
us to spar. When they do, you must be prepared.

A message I take from this scene is that the maji are feared by the royal family because of their evil power. They were also jealous of the maji which turned into hate.
- Amari is also scared for the maji to come back because she doesn't want her father to go back to the way he was.

Children of Blood and Bone ll Chapter 2

Today I am learning to relate to a quote from the story to my experience.

Chapter 2 - Zélie
“It’s a diviner tax.” I grip the draped fabric of my pants, still haunted by the guard’s touch. “They came for Mama Agba, too. Probably hitting every home in Ilorin.” Tzain presses his fists to his forehead as if he could smash through his own skull. He wants to believe that playing by the monarchy’s rules will keep us safe, but nothing can protect us when those rules are rooted in hate.

This could be compared to the story of the Power of One where they treat one race differently from the other. In this story, the rules of the monarchy reflect their prejudice to the diviners.
A message I take from this scene is the guards are seen as enemies, not protectors.

Street Art

In Art, we have been looking at street arts around Christchurch. During my research, I have found a few of them that interests me.

Reference from watchthispace

'Kaitaki' is Maori for 'the guardian' and this depiction of Ashleigh Sagar is meant as a symbol of protection to the city. The bird on the right is a kingfisher or kotare and is found on the South Island where Christchurch is situated. The owl on the left is called a ruru and they are sacred to Maori culture and synonymous with signs of warning.

Kaitiaki, Fin Dac, 2017

1. Why do we look at street art? Why do we stop when we see it? What is our reaction?

• We look at street art because it interests us and it catches our attention.

Am I addicted to my cellphone? If so, is it a problem?

I’m not really addicted to my cellphone. I only use my phone to listen to music and do other things. I mean I also use social media but I’m not always on it. I’m mainly on my Chromebook watching things.
