2nd annotated biblography

Gilfoyle, Millie. They Died Too Young. Malaysia: Chelsea House, 2000. 5-44.

This book talked a lot about the different sections in Bob Marley's life. The book was sort of like a timeline, it showed different important time periods in Bob Marley's life. The book contained five different sections; "Country Boy, Trench Town, Tasting Success, King of Reggae, and, Hope Road". The section that stood out to me the most was Hope Road. This section stood out to me the most because on December 5Th bob was assured to do an outside concert. He was told it was not a political concert but one just to help keep the peace, so he agreed. A couple of days before the concert bob and his sister Rita were both shot and in critical condition. When the day of the concert came bob still performed at the concert. this amazed me because of all the the danger he was exposed to and he still wanted to keep the peace...
