Duties are the reason which requires something important or a task that must fulfil. In the book of Children of Blood and Bones by Tomi Adeyemi, Inan chooses duty over himself, he chooses to destroy magic than saving magic and his love. The chapter that I'm gonna write about is chapter 36, 9 and 85. Tomi Adeyemi wrote this book so that readers can understand that we need to make our decisions carefully.
In Chapter 36, before Inan and Zelie battle, Amari tries to convince Inan to make his choices. Inan ordered by his father That his duty is to keep the Orisha alive rather than bringing the magic back. When we have this problem we need to believe that we must make a similar choice between our duty or ourselves. In Chapter 36-Zelie, Amari told Inan "Those are father's words, Inan. His decision, not yours. We are on our own people. " meaning that we need to make our own decision, not theirs so that Inan can understand his situation. The Author wrote this chapter so that people can understand that we need to choose our own decision, not theirs.
In Chapter 9, when Zelie tries to fight back for the Orisha, a small thought of whispers in her head told her that she doesn't have to continue her duty to fight for the Orisha but in the end, they save the magic and the Orisha. In Zelie's quote " I hold onto the words for a moment, grasping my only chance to escape. But when my lungs wheeze, I force to kick, bringing me back my broken world I know". Tomi wrote this chapter so the reader can understand that no matter how much we crave peace, we still need to stand up even though it's difficult.
In Chapter 85, when Zelie meet Baba in another world, Zelie doesn't want to go back to the real world because she can't survive the pain in the real world. "Zel orisha still needs you". Baba told Zelie that Orisha still needs her help. In real life, sometimes we need to leave our loved ones because of our duty. For example, our parents, they tried hard so we can achieve our dreams, feed us and take care of us. In this scene, the writer wrote this chapter so that people can understand that sometimes we have to choose duty instead of our loved ones so that we can take care of them.
The Children of Blood and Bones is an interesting story because it has a lot of moral lessons. Inan and Zelie have different choices. Inan shows that he chooses to destroy the magic and Zelie chooses to save the magic. The Children of Blood and Bones story helps the readers to understand and what to do if they have a situation like this.

What if you fell into acid?
What happens if you fell into acid?
Acid is a molecule/chemical that donates a proton or hydrogen ion into water. Acid is one of the most unforgiving substances it eats away at everything we are made of and can destroy our bodies in gross ways. A 'concentrated acid' reacts with no water to heat it, so when acid comes in to contact with your skin it, it immediately burns your skin as 60% of our body is water. Acid can make you also blind when it contacts your eyes. 'Nitric acid' is a strong acid and a powerful oxidizing agent which can cause a chemical burn as it decomposes your muscle. An oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize the other substances. Anyway, nitric acid is also used for making plastic, fertilizers, and in the manufacturing dyes. "Sulfuric acid is also commonly found in industrial or agricultural sites and for manufacturing copper and zinc.
In 2012, a construction worker Martin Davis fell through a roof into a vat of acid using for cleaning steel. He was pulled out by his co-worker, undressed and sprayed with water. The tank of acid that Davis landed is contained 40%-70% of nitric acid. Davis's skin was burnt and his body was bright red. And in 2007, Fernando Gonzalez drowned in the vat of sulfuric acid. He fell forward into a waist-high vat of it. He was wearing protection but it wasn't enough to save him.
Nature can be also a place to find dangerous acid springs like Norris Geyser hot spring known as the largest active geysers in the world. Colin Nathaniel Scott and his sister were visiting in the park and he fell into the hot spring. His sister called the forest rangers for help but they were unable to go into the spring because of the harsh conditions.
We have seen that acid burns the skin, it can make us blind and even dissolve our body and falling into a vat of acid or in the spring can be extremely serious consequences.
What to do when the acid contacts your skin.
If you spill acid on your skin, immediately wash well with water, do not attempt to neutralize a spill on your skin.
Neutralisation
our mouths contain bacteria. These bacteria can change the sugar left on our teeth into acids. This acids then dissolved our teeth and it can cause tooth decay. If we brush our teeth with toothpaste, the toothpaste will neutralise the acids produced by the bacteria in our mouth. The toothpaste contained fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, and sugar. The average pH level of the toothpaste is 9.
