The more difficult it feels to achieve becomes one of your best accomplishments in life. In
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, a memorable idea is pushing for a better world,
even though it’s difficult. This idea is shown in the blurb, where Amari was holding the scroll and
the author’s note.

The blurb of the book is “They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. Now
we rise. '' This is used to help the reader understand that when life gets rough, to never give up
and that you can still rise from what has happened. A similar conflict happens in Avatar: The Last
Airbender where Katara, Sokka, and Aang had it rough a few times but each time they changed
so that they would become stronger and make a difference. If we have people like this now in the
world, then we have a chance for standing up for the greater good rather than the bad.

Pushing for a better world, even though it’s difficult was shown in the scene where Amari says
“Reality told us we would fail. But again and again, we fought. We persevered. We rose. This
helps the reader understand that pushing to the fullest gives us a little nudge in the right direction
to making the world a better environment for us to live in. A similar conflict happens in the real
world, where people go out of their way to help those suffering to rise up. If only people like
Amari would keep trying to do their best to help make the world better for more generations to
come.

The author’s note of the book is “And just like Zelie and Amari, we have the power to change the
evils in the world. We’ve been knocked down for far too long. Now let’s rise. '' This helps the
reader to understand that even though we don’t have the authority to do most things by ourselves,
we as people have the power to banish the evils lurking in our world. That nothing can knock us
down. And stop us from doing what is right. A similar conflict happens in my life when bad thing
s knock me down and I still get up from what has been going on. Everyone who wishes to make a
change in the world could make it happen by taking little steps at a time.
We are all one. We have the power to change the world. Even if we fail, we could try and try again. Whatever knocks us down in life, which makes us rise afterward just proves that nothing is impossible. Pushing for a better world, even though it’s difficult is something more generations after us should look forward to.

Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

Amazing work, Nelly!
ReplyDeleteYour writing is detailed and organized. You have provided quotes, links and comments during your essay. I like that you made connections to other stories, the real world, and even your own life.
The decoration with pictures was a nice touch, too.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome ... I love the detail in your writing, and your use of plenty of quotes to support what you are saying. Has reading this book changed you and your thinking in any way?
Kia ora Nelly,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting piece of writing. I myself have never read the book you are writing about, however I feel like it would interest me after reading how you related the main theme to the world around us.
I agree that we all have the power to make a difference in the world, we need more people believing that they have this power.
I also like the link you have made of failure & success, it is important to continue to pursue your goals even if you are unsuccessful at first. Nothing worth having is easy!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Is there anything happening in the world currently that you feel the urge to stand up for/against?
