Children of Blood and Bone quote interpretation

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"

Chapter 30 - Amari 
The Children of Blood and Bone novel incorporates many real-world issues into its text. This quote is in a chapter written in the eyes of Amari, a princess who has never been exposed to poverty and only knows what lies inside the palace walls. As she goes on this journey, she encounters various situations that she has not been exposed to in her royal life and truly opens her eyes to the kingdom her father reigns. As Zelie and Tzain enter the arena, Amari sees what true chaos is. Although many of us cannot relate to being a royal and experiencing new things as Amari does, many people around the world have not truly experienced what true poverty is like and how it affects the lives of others. I have been to Malaysia on three separate occasions now, and I have experienced what Amari felt at the time of the battle. Seeing people living such a hard life cannot be compared to the luxurious life I lead.

Chapter 33- Zelie 
Gods help us. I close my eyes, trying to drown the tragedy out. Through it all,
the cheers never stop. The praise never ends. As we stand on the platform, the
crowd rejoices as if there’s a reason to celebrate this bloodbath.
Beside me, Tzain holds me close; he hasn’t really let go since he carried me
from the ship. He keeps his expression vacant, but I can sense his remorse.
Though the competitor in him has prevailed, we’re still covered in the blood of

those who have fallen. We may have triumphed, but this is no victory.

Chapter 33- Zelie 
Many rough events that occur during The Children of Blood and Bone are celebrated by some diviners as well as many of the guards. Many famous dictators and other historical figures have done many horrible things around the world but are celebrated for their acts as if they are a saint. Around the world, everyone has different views about what they believe to be the right thing and the wrong thing. Different societies have implicated different rules, values and beliefs. So when one country or society believes that forcing people to do things is a correct act, another society may believe in the human rights system where everyone has the right to freedom etc. An example would be the horrible acts of the very famous dictator Adolf Hitler, a man who did many bad things to many different types of people. In Hitlers time, people celebrated him and what he did to others, and I can kind of see the resemblance in the situation. 

Chapter 52 - Amari 
“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.

Chapter 52- Amari 
Something that I take from this quote is that although Inan has hurt Amari in the past, he is still there for her now and will continue on doing so for the rest of his lifetime. Even if Inan claims he is going to help them in their journey, the other characters still have that shadow of doubt about him. When someone makes a mistake in life, sometimes people will never forget that and typecast them as the type of person to continuously make that mistake, whether it is intentional or not. Stereotyping others based on their mistakes is a very common issue around the world. 

Chapter 66 - Inan
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.

Chapter 66- Inan
The word Maggot is a derogatory term used to describe the diviners and is supposed to be used to put them down and is very similar to how "the N-word" is used. The N-word is a very similar derogatory term that was used to discriminate black slaves. People that use the N-word now don't really understand where the origins of this word lie and don't understand what the word actually was used for and why it was used. King Saran showed no remorse while carving the word Maggot into Zelie's back, very similar to how people use the N-word nowadays.
