noughts and crosses take away

homework
from what i can tell so far from noughts and crosses , the
message is that once something is said you can never take it
back because sephy one of the main charictors in the text
says "stop it your acting like animals , wores than that
blanker". But from earlyer in the text we found out that her
best friend callum was a nought and the phrases 'blanker'
was a rasits word and the descust on his face when he heard
what was said by sephy of all peole indicated to me that
words do hurt , this also links in with the quote blackman
deceded to use in her novel 'stick and stones may brake my
bones but word will never hurt me ' because it proves word
can hurt and they can be very painful when used in the
wrong context and sometimes sorry dose not fx
everything.s we later found out when callum says '"i dont
think we should be friends at school no more"',but to back
this up when he leaves the private beach sephys perants
own he dose not once look back but did not brush sephys
head of his shoulder in the previous scean of the book.
!or those reasons above i think that the
scean at the school where sephy shouts is the most tense
moment so far,i think this because sephy was saying only a
day ago how lovely and ama"ing it would be for her 'best
friend ' to go to her 'very own school'and how so close they
both was.lso from what i can tell calum and sephy have
know eachother since they was young because meggie
callums mum worked for sephys mum#and have not had a
ma$ior falling out up untill this point...nother reason for my
thought of this being the tenses moment so far is also
because it realates to a real life situation in america with the
little rock nine and the book described the pain and hurt
through some one actually phsyicaly getting hurt to get
across to the reader the hurt and devestation this insident
had coresed befor in real life and in the book . t this point
the reader is probely going to feel discusted and
disipointment because of how the segriation of the same
human kind was treated $ust because of the race .
