Children of The Blood an Bone Essay

   In English, we are going to be writing an essay about a novel which we read and its called The Children Of The Blood And Bone.

               Children Of The Blood And Bone

                            Introduction

Is it fair to treat someone differently just because they're different from you? The Children of the Blood and Bone's author Tomi Adeyemi shares this idea throughout the whole book. I will be mainly talking about the characters and their point of views, the settings and different types of Maji's and their Deities.
  
                                              Body 1

The main protagonists of the novel Children of the Blood and Bone are Zelie, Inan, and Amari.
These characters have a chapter each and in every chapter, they share their different point of views.
The use of different point of views helps the reader to understand what's happening to the character and
what they think and feel about the situation. The battle at Ibeji is a good example because it started with
Zelie's point of view in the fight and shifted to Amari's point of view. The author even gave Inan a point of
view as well and what makes this interesting is that he is trying to find out which side he belongs to the
Maji and the Kosidan or his father. The important thing about point of views is that it helps us see the
evolution of the characters.

                                                               Body 2

Zelie is a diviner(Divîners are people who have the ability to do magic, but their powers may not yet be activated she lives with her father and brother Tzain. Amari and Inan are siblings and both children of King Saran. The other thing that makes the book interesting and exciting is the different settings and on the first page of the book you can see the map of Orisha and that helps you with the book also. The characters were first introduced to the book in different settings Zelie lived in Ilorin, whereas Amari and Inan (Connector) lived in the Royal Palace(Lagos). The campsite where all diviners were hiding was a challenging setting because when all the diviners were celebrating the king's army attacked them. Many diviners were killed leading to Zu, Kwame, Yemi's death, and Zelie's capture. That's what's good about this book you'll never know what will happen next and this gives the reader excitement and suspense. 

                                                                      Body 3

                                                                   Conclusion

The Novel The Children of The Blood and Bone was created by the author Tomi Adeyemi and contained some important that helped make the story. These were the uses of the point of views it helped the reader understand how the character feels and how they think about the situation. Then there were the challenging settings one memorable setting was the Holy Temple because the ending was intense and it was filled with suspense. Last but not least the different types of Maji and their deities this is something that makes you feel excited and it could be linked to Avatar: The Last Airbender because all of them have their unique gift. Well these were my thoughts if yours was different it only means we think differently.
