Children of blood and bone: chapter 3.

Chapter 3 – 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 greying 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: Her father has always been afraid of the maji and what they could do, so he has made is own children train to 'be ready' because he is afraid of what they will do, afraid of their power.
I wonder what is going to happen next, I wonder who will win.

Children of blood and bone: chapter 2.

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 can be compared to today world with all of the racism, and the unfair treatment of people of colour and how they are under pained and treated extremely different just like how the diviners are treated by everyone else.

Street art.

This week in art we looked at street art and symbols. We research what symbols are and why they are important in our environment.

How electricity works in my phone.

"a cell phone is essentially a two-way radio, consisting of a radio transmitter and a radio receiver. When you chat with your friend on your cell phone, your phone converts your voice into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted via radio waves to the nearest cell tower."
It uses electricity from the wall outlet, the battery, the WiFi, the speaker.
