For English, our new focus is on written text this term so reading books then answering questions on it. We have two books to choose from but the majority of us are reading the book which is Children of Blood and Bone. We are relating some quotes from a chapter to the real world.
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 laborers 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 laborers 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 quote relates to a lot of us in the real world because when we buy our products from shops we usually think adults get paid to make our products but in reality, there are children making some of our everyday products in harsh environments.
