Chlidren Of Blood and Bone- English Essay

Children of blood and bones

Ever thought of what type of writing methods writers use in their story? In Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, The author used methods such as symbolism, Events/ Plot, Multiple perspectives to engage the reader with the text. These methods help the reader to engage with different writing methods to hook their readers in.

Symbolism is used to help the reader understand what values of items or clothes the person in the story has a connection to that item of clothing/items. Here is one of the examples…. Chapter 47 - Inan

“I drop the pawn in the dirt and kick it aside. I must draw a line in the sand. I’ve been a sheep. A sheep when my kingdom needed me to act like a king.” That sênet pawn represents his father, every time he holds on to it, it reminds him of his father. Once he drops it, it represents his disobey to his father. The other words such as “ line in the sand”, and “Sheep” it’s a metaphor. Like the line in the sand means he has put his wall saying” this is where I stop” and “sheep” means like a follower. I think that Tomi included symbolism to her story is to make the readers relate to it.

Events/Plot is used to help the reader understand the different twists and turns in the book and also to keep the reader entertained and wanting to read more. For example..In Chapter 12, Inan brings Zélie to the dreamscape for the first time and they both realize that Inan is a Maji. In the movie Star Wars we later find out the Luke and Lea are Brother and Sister and Darth Vader is there dad. In that movie that was the twist that got me. I think that Tomi included events/plot to her story is to make the reader entertained and to think what’s going to happen next.

Multiple perspectives are used to help the reader understand different point of views. For example...Zélie is from a poor village, Her community is made to pay higher taxes because they have white hair, She wants to bring magic back to her people. As for Amari and Inan they live in a castle in Lagos, There community feels hatred towards the Maji and they are wealthy BUT Amari wants to save the Maji as for Inan he wants to obey his fathers wishes to become king and to get rid of all the maji. The author also included multiple perspectives in the book which is where they show Inan’s point of view is when he is stabbed by his father. The next chapter showed Amari’s point of view when Inan was getting stabbed. I think Tomi included multiple perspectives to her story is to make the reader see people's different point of views.

As you can see Tomi wanted to add these Methods/Techniques because she wanted her readers to know the different ways to make your storying more entertaining by adding these techniques/ methods such as symbolism, multiple perspectives, events/plot, and etc. Symbolism meaning the charter connection to the object, multiple perspectives meaning the different perspectives/ points of view, events/plot is when there are different twists and turns and it builds up your suspense.

Corrosion Experiment- Science

Aim: To investigate the Factors that cause iron to rust.

Hypothesis: I believe ( which makes me sound smart instead of saying " I think") that the salt water will be effective because salt has a lot of --------( don't know how to describe) chemicals.

Equipment: 5- less test tubes, Test tube RACK, a bung, 5- less iron nails, Nail polish, Vegetable oil, Saltwater, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium, water.

Method:

1. GrAb yA nAiLs ( grab your nails)
2.  gRaB tHe LiQuId yA nEeD ( Grab the liquids you need)
3. pAiNt tHe nAiL aNd wAiT fOr iT tO dRy, oNcE iT iS dRy pLoOp tHe nAiL iN tHe wAtEr. ( paint the nail and wait for it to dry, once it is dry ploop the nail in the water)
4. pUt sOmE OiL iN tHe nExT tEsT tUbE aNd aDd tHe nAiL. ( Put some oil in the next test tube and add the nail)
5. aDd sOmE sAlTwAtEr iN tHe oThEr tEsT tUbE tHeN aDd tHe nAiL. ( add some saltwater in the other test tube then add the nail)
6. tHe nExT tEsT tUbe y'AlL aDd iS cAlcIuM cHloRidE aNd tHeN aDd yOuR nAiL. ( the next test tube y'all add is calcium chloride and then add your nail.)
7. tHe lAsT LiQuId yA aDd iN tHe lAsT tEsT tUbE iS mAgNeSiUm aNd pLoOp yA nAiL iN. ( The last liquid you add in the last test tube is magnesium and ploop your nail in)
8. lEaVe oVeR tHe nExT 4 dAyS aNd y'AlL hAvE y'AlL rEsUlTs. ( Leave over the next 4 days and you'll have your results)

Observation:
The nail polish only had a little rust at the top, but other than that there was some nail polish that came off.
The oil had no rust, it was just oily.
The saltwater caused nothing.
The calcium chloride had only a little rust in it.
The magnesium didn't rust.

Conclusion:
My guess was wrong because I believed that the saltwater would be more effective, but it was only the Calcium Chloride and the Nail polish.
