children of blood and bone

 I let go of her wrists, but inside I let go of so much more. Father’s tactics. His Orïsha. Everything I now realize I don’t want to be.

This was said by Inan while he was moments away from killing Zélie. Then he accidentally used his power and could see Zélie’s struggles and bad past. Before this moment, he believed that all maji were evil. When Inan saw Zelie’s past, he saw the struggles of the maji. He felt bad. Inan realized that they shouldn’t be treated differently.
I agreed with Inan that the royals shouldn’t fight with the maji. This is because they are also people.
This reminds me of Adolf Hitler and his hatred of the jews and how they are treated as the lowest class of race. This is like the book as the king is like Hitler and the Maji’s are the jews.

This book teaches us that everyone is an individual. This is because people can have their own opinions and are different from one another.  Like how Inan changed his mind after seeing how the maji were treated and how Zelie was treated. The world would be a better place if we all thought for ourselves and not put people into categories and stereotyping them.
