We see this in the text when the king sent Inan and his guards to go after the scroll and Amari. This means that Amari thought stealing the scroll was the best thing to do. This made the reader feel Surpised because Amari had the courage to go against her own father. This made the reader feel Surpised because Amari had the courage to go against her own father.

Chapter 56 – Zélie
We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides. Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving their joy, their life.In Social Studies, we have been writing an essay about the popular technologies and how they have changed over time
Agricultural Age
During the agricultural revolution period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during time were tractors, Seed drills, and Fertilizers. These inventions seen during this time are all still widely seen and used today.
A significant invention during the agricultural revolution period were the tractors. A tractor is used for pulling or pushing agricultural machinery or trailers, for plowing, tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and similar tasks. The first gasoline/petrol-powered tractor was built in Clayton County, lowa, US. Tractors have evolved and advanced quite a bit since the first engine was invented by Benjamin Holt and Richard Jordan Gatling in 1892. This is why this is an important invention
Another significant invention during the agricultural revolution period were the seed drills. A seed drill is a device that sows the seeds for crops by positioning them in the soil and burying them to a specific depth. The first known seed drill was attributed to Camillo Torello in 1566, and then it was further refined by Jethro Tull in 1701 in the Agricultural Revolution in England. This system is still used today but has been modified and updated such that a farmer can plant many rows of seed at the same time. This is why this is an important invention
Combine Harvesters were also used during the time period of the agricultural revolution. The first one was introduced in 1834, in the United States and was invented by Hiram Moore. The Combine Harvesters are capable of reaping, threshing, and winnowing cereal grain. The early versions were pulled by horses, mules, and oxes now it is pulled by machines. This machine is still in use today and powered by diesel and gasoline engines. This is why this is an important invention
In conclusion during the Agricultural era, there were many significant technological advancements seen Some of those discussed are the Tractors, Seed drills, and Combine Harvesters. These are all commonly seen today all around the world and are still very important.

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 world wars
A message I take from this scene is

Now it takes everything to gain control. No matter how hard I fight, the risk of feeling Zélie’s pain lingers. A constant and growing threat.

Chapter 2 – Zélie
“It’s a diviner tax.” I grip the draped fabric of my pants, still haunted by the guard’s touch. “They came for Mama Agba, too. Probably hitting every home in Ilorin.”
Tzain presses his fists to his forehead as if he could smash through his own skull. He wants to believe that playing by the monarchy’s rules will keep us safe, but nothing can protect us when those rules are rooted in hate.

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 wars that were fought by children
A message I take from this scene is that Amari is scared for the maji to come back. she doesn't want her father to go back to the way he was before the raid.

“Mama, are you okay?”
Tears come to her eyes, spilling into the wrinkles of her dark skin. “It’s been so long,” she whispers. “I never thought I would feel the warmth of magic again”

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?”

A message I take from this scene is that Zelie is having trouble trusting Amari
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.

A message I take from this scene is that Amari thinks all people lived in fair lives
