Three ways that Amari has changed through the book is, her attitude towards Zelie and Tzain. I mean this in a way of respect and love, she now considers Tzain as her partner and Zelie more of a new Binta which is very hard too believe from where they started off wanting too kill each other too becoming a very strong team. My second explanation is Amari has completely broken out of her shell from being a shy and very quite and unphased girl too a warrior fighter basically overnight really has shaped her and her attitude towards the reality of the life outside of the palace. Lastly Amari’s learned whilst being with Tzain and Zelie and meeting all the effected diviners and maji that her fathers vision is horrible and evil, she was able to get past his crazy lifestyle and realise she can build her own future and decide on her own what she needs and wants to do.

Blog post: Our group's chosen character is Amari, we decided on this particular character because of her changes throughout the journey of bringing magic back and so on. From being this shy broken girl too becoming an absolute warrior has been a very amazing transformation for Amari, having too betray her royal family for the safe sake of magic and the diviners have really given her the opportunity to show her own potential and brush off that horrible attitude and mindset her fathers pushed on her for her whole life. Including convincing her brother that he doesn't have to be like their father King Saran, they can choose their own pathway.

Chapter 66 Response

 Chapter 66 – Inan

Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust.
For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
…
In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is that the father doesn't care about the people that he has killed because they killed his family.
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?

My wondering is why the king is hurting her own daughter?

English Writing Prompt Chapter 30

 Chapter 30 – Amari

Chaos.
Before this moment, I never truly understood the word. Chaos meant Mother’s screams before a luncheon. It meant the scramble of oloyes to their gold-lined chairs.
Now chaos surrounds me, pulsing through every breath and heartbeat. It sings as blood splatters through the air, snickers with delight as boats explode into oblivion.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is it reminds me of War because they are fighting because they are in boats and they have to fight to stay alive. For me when I think of chaos it reminds me of my brother and I fighting.

Chapter 22 - Amari
I pause for a moment, aghast at the number of them filling the narrow path. Before today, I caught only glimpses of the labourers brought in to staff the palace—always pleasant, clean, groomed to Mother’s satisfaction. Like Binta, I thought they lived simple lives, safe within the palace walls. I never considered where they came from, where else they might have ended up,
“Skies…” It’s almost too hard to bear the sight. Mostly diviners, the labourers outnumber the villagers by hordes, dressed in nothing but tattered rags. Their dark skin blisters under the scorching sun, marred by the dirt and sand seemingly burned into their beings. Each is hardly more than a walking skeleton.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is: My wondering is why they go somewhere, where no one normally is and there are a lot of people there.

 Chapter 13 - Zélie

  I turn back toward Amari and try to let it go. But in her eyes, I see her brother’s. I feel his hands choking me.
“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?”
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is that they start to feel sorry for Amari because of whats happened in her life.

Novel Study

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 graying 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.
This could be compared to Harry Potter because they both have magic

Creepy Old Lady

In 1981 there was a woman named Sally Jones and she was a serial killer. She was always bent over when she walked because she had a very bad back. Her skin was wrinkly with moles and freckles all over her face. She had pale skin which was peeling because she was always sunburnt and all she liked to do was stand outside people’s houses and watch them. Her silky black clothes dragged across the ground behind her as she walked. Her walking was cracked at the bottom because she dragged it across the ground instead of lifting it while walking. The only thing that made people scared of her was the massive scar across her face, it went from the right side of her lip to the left side of her forehead. Her curled up moustache was extremely greasy that she would drink the grease instead of drinking anything else. At night she would sneak around the back of people’s houses and check to see if the back door was open, if it was she would go in and look for people to pulverise but if it was locked then she would look through their windows. When she sneaks into someone’s house and she finds someone she comes from behind and then she grabs them by the neck and then chokes them to death or if the person turns around then she tackles them and uses a sharp object to kill them. Once she was finished with the body’s she would put them in her minivan and drive into the middle of the woods and then dig a 6 ft hole to bury them. She would then drive away and go to the next person’s house and then she would do that over and over until she got bored of it. When she gets bored she flies to Iran and she gets knife and gun training so she can continue with her creepy life. When she is finished with her training she fly's back to America and she continues to sneak into peoples houses. She said that her goal was to kill at least 40 people a night. In 1995 she died from leukaemia (Which is a type of Cancer). She was buried in Maryland in 1996.
