The Bone Sparrow Sparknotes

In The Bone Sparrow, by Zana Fraillon, the worlds of Subhi and Jimmie are very different. In The Bone Sparrow, Jimmie and Subhi meet under different circumstances. Jimmie, who lives in a house, wants to see what on the other side of the hill and Subhi, who lives in a tent, wanting to get out of the detention centre. Subhi living an tent in an detention centre wants to break free from the detention centre, and Jimmie wants to learn about where she lives, exploring new places as she goes. When Subhi is given food, he has no idea on what it is or what it is made of, but Jimmie eats food that she knows what it is. Jimmie comes home and goes to her warm bed but Subhi goes to his tent and sleeps on a rock hard bed. Subhi longs for some freedom and wishes to be out of the detention centre and Jimmie enjoys her freedom but she wants more.
In The Bone Sparrow, Subhi and Jimmie learn that they both live in mildly different conditions. Jimmie lives in a nice house in a town, where Subhi lives like a caged animal in a detention centre, who lives in a tent. In the book Subhi starts explaining where he lives to the reader. He tells us this by “I lie on my bed, Queenie’s feet pushing ageist my cheeks and listen to the waves lapping at the tent”-Subhi (Pg1). This is telling us that Subhi lives in a tent where it is really crowded, because they are sleeping head to toe. To conclude, this shows that Jimmie has better living conditions then Subhi and that they are very different to each
