The incident of Binta being killed by Saran helped me to understand the important idea of How much hate saran really had towards the maji because it showed me that Saran was willing to kill his daughters best friend just because she was a magi.	We see this in the text when King Saran gets Binta to touch the scroll so he can see if she has magic in her or not. When Bintas hands filled with light from magic Saran just smashed his sword right through her with not even the slightest amount of remorse  for her. ‘Father strikes fast. One minute Binta stands, in the next fathers sward plunges through her chest’	This means that… Clearly we can tell in the quote that Amaris father, king Saran kills Binta because light exploded from bintas hands when she touched the scroll, magic.	This made the reader feel upset or scared for Amari and Binta because King Saran is capable of taking someone's life so fast over magic.	It reminded me of another important part in the book when King Saran carved maggot into zelies back with no remorse for how she is feeling and her screams because this also shows the idea of hatred towards magi as zelie was a magi too.	In the real world, this idea is important because we see this in the real world everyday but mainly in america at the moment with everything going on with racism and the BLM movement with police brutality.
