The incident of Saran cutting the word maggot into Zelie’s back helped me to understand the important idea of Prejudice because it showed me how far he would go to torture.	We see this in the text when  Saran says’s “I admire your defiance, child. It’s impressive you’ve made it this far. But I wouldn’t be doing my job as king if I didn’t remind you what you are.”	This means that King Saran is abusing his power as King to torture Zelie because she is different than him.	This made the reader feel Zelie because she is on the other end of a King abusing his powers.	It reminded me of another important part in the book when Saran killed Amari’s maid Binta because this also shows the idea of Prejudice.	In the real world, this idea is important because you shouldn’t treat someone differently because they are different than you.
Another way the incident of Saran cutting the word maggot helped me to understand the important idea from the other perspective because it shows us how vulnerable and helpless Zelie’s is when Saran is abusing his powers.
