Year 10 English l The Children of Blood and Bone Essay

So the finished product of my essay is below this text but before you read the essay (and after you read) tell me what you thought of it once you have had a read of it, in my opinion, I did better than last year mainly because I actually finished my essay on time this year and put a bit more effort into this one but that's all I have to say for now, have a read of this: 

Introduction:

In Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, 

One memorable idea in the text was in chapter 66 when Inan’s father cuts the word “MAGGOT”
into Zelie’s back, this moment was quite sad because Inan watches in terror as Zelie is getting
cut and Inan cannot do anything about it and what makes this worse is that Inan and Zelie are
in a relationship at this point in time.

This is only the beginning of my essay, so be prepared to read a whole lot more.

Body Paragraph 1:

An interesting idea is when in chapter 47, Zelie says to Inan “You fight for a man who will
always hate you just because of what you are.” 

The person Zelie is talking about is Inan’s father, Inan’s father hates Inan because he isn’t a
good enough son and this could also mean that he may know about him working with Zelie at
this point and if that were to be true, Inan would have to be executed.

Anyway, before meeting Zelie, Inan wanted to prove himself to his father by finding the scroll
and giving it to him to show that he is a worthy son but then he found Zelie and she made him
realize how bad his father really is and Zelie basically turned Inan against his father.

Body Paragraph 2:

Another interesting idea is when in chapter 30, Amari was thinking about what she thought the
definition of chaos was, previously her definition of chaos was her mother’s screams before a
luncheon and now it’s blood splattering and boats exploding, that… is the true meaning of chaos.

She is most likely thinking about this because Amari misses the days where there was less
fighting, no blood being spilt, basically wanting everything to go back to normal and I think
there’s a message which is to not take anything for granted like how you have toast or cereal for
breakfast in the morning or how you have a bed to sleep on or a better example would be how
peaceful it is now but it could all change in just a matter of days, hours or even minutes.

Body Paragraph 3:

An idea I also find interesting is in chapter 13 when Zelie is unsure whether to trust Inan’s sister
Amari because Amari’s brother Inan burned down Zelie’s village and their father ordered the
raid on the village so Zelie is assuming Amari is just as bad as her father and brother. 

But Amari just wants to help Zelie and so Zelie decides to trust Amari and then they become
friends later in the book so what I’ve learned here is to not judge someone for the family they
come from even if they set a bad image, get to know that person first to see what they are truly
like.

Conclusion:

So I am going to review what I have said in the previous paragraphs so in paragraph 1 when
Zelie says to Inan “You fight for a man who will always hate you just because of what you are.” 

This was indeed an interesting sentence because you wouldn’t understand why you would
fight for someone even though they hate them, but Inan is fighting for his father otherwise he
will possibly be executed, ok so here’s another one.

In paragraph 2 when Amari was thinking about what the definition of chaos was, if you’re living
a peaceful, normal life, you would consider chaos as something like when 2 siblings are super
energetic and running around knocking things over but the real definition which you wouldn’t
want to experience is people dying and explosions happening.

Most important to me is in paragraph 3 when Zelie isn’t sure whether to trust Amari because of
her family background, don’t judge someone because of what you’re family is like even if they
give a bad image, don’t pass the families bad image onto an innocent person in that family who
doesn’t mean any harm.

Live your best life now, you don’t know when something could change.

The last sentence is kinda dark but it's something.

Year 10 Drama l Sci-fi gun

Description: My gun has a pencil on the end to stab people with and to draw :)
It also has yellow near the trigger because it indicates a signal and if I press it, it will send a signal to my space cadets to come and rescue me on my space missions.

The mission for tomorrow: There will be a huge battle with me and my comrades battling other aliens.

Year 10 Science l Corrosion experiment

Aim: 
I am investigating the factors that cause rusting in Irons

What I think is going to happen: 

I think that the magnesium and water will be the best at preventing the corrosion on the nail and the plain water will corrode the nail, those are my thoughts.

What is corrosion?
Metal being damaged or a better word would be rusted.

Here are some pleasant images of nails corroding.

The best at preventing corrosion: Oil
Which caused most corrosion: Nail polish
That's pretty much it so tell me in the comments if I need to improve upon anything or just tell me what you thought.

Year 10 Social Studies l The stolen generation

The stolen generation was Aboriginal and kids were taken from their families.

"Took the children away" song

The song "Took the children away" by Archie Roach is about how the aboriginal children were being taken away and you are being told their story, it mentions how it happens and what their new life was like and how their family reacts.
