English: Another World-Diversity

In the last two terms of english, we have been learning about "Another World", Meaning that we have been learning from other people perspectives as well as our own. We have seen a variety of perspectives and values of people lives from films and books such as Zootpia, Avatar the last air bender, Glee and the book of "The Children of blood and bone". This has been teaching us how to deal with these challenges as if they were our own challengers. I have learned so many stuff through the topic of "Another World". It has changed my understanding of people and the way I use to think and act. One major thing I have learned over the year is the word 'Diversity' and it's meaning. What diversity means to me is to understand people as an individual and accept them as who they are and what they believe whether I believe it is right or wrong, It has also taught me how to be kinder towards people because we don't know what everyone has been through.

Children of Blood and Bone Essay

Everyone deserves to have their values and opinions whether you think there bad or not?. In the book Children of blood and bone written by Tomi Adeyemi, A memorable idea is everyone is an individual. I will be showing this idea from three different chapters including Chapter 3 - Amari, Where Amari remembers her father warnings, Chapter 41 – Inan, When he realizes that he wants to make a better Orisha, Chapter 49-Amari, When she gets a flashback and comes to realisation and lastly chapter 59-Zelie, When Zelie explains to Amari and Inan about their father.

A very memorable idea from the book in Children of blood and bone is seeing everyone as an individual. This is shown in chapter 41 where Inan realise that he needs to make a better place for the community. ̈ ̈My duty has always been to my kingdom, but it must be for a better Orïsha. A new Orïsha ̈. You can see in this chapter that he becomes more independent mentioning that, ̈it must be for a better Orïsha. A new Orïsha ̈. Even without the permission from his father the one person he had obeyed by from birth, He realises that what his father wants for him and his kingdom is something that he would like to change into a new direction. I believe that this type of situation can happen in the real world from the smallest of situations such as not being a bystander and stand with your opinion and values as an individual.

Another chapter showing the same Idea seeing everyone as an individual, Is in chapter 49 when Amari sees her father reminding her and enforcing the idea that maji are evil and dangerous people that maji are the ones to fear.  ̈Strike, Amari.Father’s face returns. Hard. Unforgiving. This is what I warned you about. If we don’t fight, these maggots will be our end ̈. But the thing is that Amari is to kind hearted and knows that what her father was enforcing isn't what she had been experiencing she said that, ̈I cannot be like father. The maji are not my enemy ̈. She knows as an independent girl that what her father had been doing was wrong and tearing families apart.

Lastly, I see the same idea of how seeing everyone as an individual. This can be shown in chapter 59 where Zelie said that Inan and Amari father had been“Misguided, but his fear is justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring. They’ve never experienced anything like this ̈. This just shows how Zelie can see their father as an individual and see what he's been through rather than just judging that he hated them for no reason and he was thought and believed that the Maji and Diviners were horrible people. This can be compared to real life how people may judge people on how they show their values because of an event that might have occurred. This could be solved by if people wouldn't judge others and actually ask why they may think like this.

Over the last three paragraphs I have been trying to use keywords from my introduction quote, ̈Everyone deserves to have their values and opinions whether you think there bad or not?¨. Such as learning to see people as individuals and respect each other's values and opinions. This can be shown from the quote I used in the last paragraph where Zelie say that Amari and Inan father had been “Misguided, but his fear is justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring. They’ve never experienced anything like this ̈. She sees him as an individual whether she believes that his opinion on maji and diviners are wrong or right but can understand where he's coming from.
