Inan’s amber eyes trap me in the truth of his betrayal, but it isn’t the gaze I
know. He’s a stranger. A soldier. The shell of the little prince.
This could be compared to someone who you would call two-faced.

“I could skin Saran alive and I still wouldn’t have my revenge.” I shrug off his
hand. “It’s not about him. It’s not even about me. If I don’t stop him tomorrow,
he’ll destroy my people like he destroyed me.”
For the first time since the torture, I feel a hint of the old fire that used to roar
louder than my fear. But its flame is weak now; as soon as it flickers, it’s blown
out by the wind.
This could be compared to chapter 74 where King Saran firmly believes in duty over self. Peace between maji and kosidán
failed in the past, so he does not want to try again.
Inan believes he must make a similar choice between his country and his
heart. He makes the same choice as his father, even though the majacite
sword blisters his own skin (this is symbolism). Inan gives up everything to be
everything his Father wants.
But the only difference is that Zelie's duty is to bring back piece and magic. Unlike King saran, his duty is war and death.

Science electrical circuits.
Completing this topic allowed me to understand more about series and parallel circuits. And this can help me in my every day life especially if I’m a builder. Now I know how all my lights work and weather they are in series or parallel.

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 How some people treat dogs and cats with disgust just because they are animals.

“You know what intrigues me about your kind? You always start in the middle
of the story. As if my father didn’t fight for your rights. As if you maggots didn’t
burn my family alive.”
“You can’t enslave an entire people for the rebellion of a few.”
Saran bares his teeth. “You can do whatever you want when you’re the king.”
This relates to someone who thinks only about the history of their family and uses that as an excuse to kill others.

“How will me coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak,
your father calls for my head!”
“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s 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.” He gestures to the camp, face
alight with so much hope his smile practically glows in the darkness. “Zulaikha
created this in one moon, and there are already more diviners in Lagos than
anywhere else in Orïsha. Just imagine what we could accomplish with the
resources of the monarchy behind us."

“I’ll prove myself to you, to all of you,” Inan declares. “You’re on the right side
of this. My only desire is to stand there as well.”
“Good.” I lean forward to hug him, holding on to his promise.
But when his hands wrap around my back, all I can think of are how his fingers
are resting just above my scars.
He doesn't deserve a second chance, for all the things he has done.

English Chapter 49
Chapter 49 – Amari
Strike, Amari.
Father’s voice rings in my head, but it’s not his strength I need.
Be brave, Amari. Binta soothes instead.
Be the Lionaire.
King Saran sees the ability to hurt others as strength. Amari has realized that strength can
mean something else, as she learned from Binta. I believe strength comes from being strong
enough to do what is right.
This reminds me of the movie the lion king.

English essay
In the scene going for a run 1:29, from the movie The Power Of One director John Avildsen wants us to see the aspect of an aparthid.
In the scene were PK and Duma go for a run, the director uses a long shot to stress the environment that they are in. For instance, we see that the government only allows 1 small and run down toilet for every 200 people. The director's purpose is to show how unequal the government's policy of apartheid was between whites and Africans. How even the basic amenities, like a toilet, were unfairly distributed. This film technique allows the audience to visualize what the reality of having no home toilet but instead a single toilet for 200 people.The long shot with the tracking shot is key as it shows Duma and PK’s transition from the rundown, overcrowded and dirt street environment of the africans, compared to the modern looking, less crowded and wider sealed road environment.
In the scene, the director uses a mid shot to show PK and Duma going for a drink after their run. This scene is showing PK trying to drink out of a whites only water fountain. But it doesn't work. As PK frustratingly tries to get a drink, Duma goes to the non whites water fountain, which is only a tap. The director did this as he wanted to show that whites and blacks were not legally supposed to drink out of the same water fountain. This shows the audience how the people were racially segregated. Although it showed only a non white was supposed to drink out of a non white fountain, PK still felt comfortable enough to drink out of it. This is because he knows it is unlikely he would be in trouble for doing so. This would not be the same for Duma if he drank out of a whites only drinking fountain.
In this scene were Duma walks away from PK, the director uses a deep focus shot to show Duma walking past a white mother and her two children. As Duma neared the mother and her children, the mother pulled them protectively aside. The director did this to show a fear of letting white children to close to a male african. Like you would try to pull a child away from a wild dog in the street. This suggests to the audience that whites, especially white females, believe Africans are less than human. This is important because if whites considered africans were less than human, they could justify treating them inhumanely.
Hi Ryan -- excellent effort on your visual text essay! You have shown me that you are really keen to succeed, and this is great. Based on what you have added in the time you had for extension, I have moved you up from a level 4 to a level 5 (at the level) for this assessment. You have included some terrific advanced vocabulary choices such as ‘inhumanely’, ‘transition’, ‘visualise’ and ‘segregated’. In your introduction, the aspects are the film techniques (not Apartheid). Make sure you list these. A conclusion is also really important in an essay. In your body paragraphs, you could improve your writing by included links to your own experiences and/or events happening now in the wider world. Ka rawe Ryan :)
