  1. Powerpoint presentation #2 By Lorie Katherine Scovish

  2. I have not yet been to Jamaica, I have been to the Caribbean though. I loved it and I can't wait to return. The Jamaican culture seems very unique to the country. The artwork I have stumbled upon from Jamaica is absolutely beautiful.. It's so very unique and being an artist myself, I really admire the hard work they put into their pieces. Music, singing and dancing also seem to be huge parts of the culture. The country appears to be very lively and free spirited which I love.

  3. Bob marley

  4. Bob Marley, one of Jamaica's most famous heroes, was born in 1945. He spent his early years in a dysfunctional family and was known as Tuff Gong. Even though times were tough, Bob's music career was supported by those around him and embraced. In the 1960's, Ska became a prevalent music famous to Jamaica. This is when Bob Marley began to stand out, in his early teens. His music swept the nation as he sang catchy beats and tunes about racism and other deep issues the country faced. Soon enough, he was seen as the voice of Jamaica. He also was accredited for the worldwide spread of reggae music. He practiced Rastafarian ways and also was a iconic member of the religion. Marley and his band, The Wailers, put Jamaican music on the map. He provided hope and happiness through his melodies for the country. Regardless of his death at the early age of 37, Marley's legacy still exists world wide today.
