Essay:
In the story, Children of the Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi an important idea is about second chances and forgiveness. This idea relates to the story when Zelie didn't know if she could forgive Amari or trust Amari because of what her father did.
The first scene I will be talking about is chapter 13-Zelie.
In this chapter, Zelie was talking to train and questioning if she could forgive Amari or even trust Amari to help her for what Amari's father did.
I want to trust her No, you don’t. Well, even if I did, I can’t. Her father ordered the Raid. Her brother burned down our village. What makes you think she’s any different. A message I take from this scene is that you shouldn’t judge people because of the family they come from. This could be compared to forgive and second chances as when Zelie is scared that Amari will be just like her father but I think everyone deserves a second chance.
The second scene that relates to Forgiveness / Second Chances is chapter 45 when Zelie “Your people, your guards. They’re nothing more than killers, rapists, and thieves. The only difference between them and criminals is the uniforms they wear." A message I got from this is that just because someone is different and does \different things to you it doesn't mean they are all like that we are all the same. This relates to the real world because people judge others by what they look like and from there past .but in reality, we are all the same, we are all unique and all have our own personality but we are all humans.
