Forth annotation.

http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bob-marley-lyrics/no-woman-no-cry-lyrics.html

Fr my forth annotation i decided to do something different. since my national history day project is on bob Marley and being that he legacy shines through his music; i decided to annotate his lyrics. bob Marley believed he could create world peace through his music.his lyrics were not just lyrics, he talks about what he saw in the world and how he could change it.
in his song "no woman no cry" being one of his biggest hits talks about observations in his home trenchtown which kind of gave me a sense of the setting of where he lived.

Third Annotation.

Peake, Mike. "Biography." "The ultimate Bob Marley Fan Site" 20 Mar. 1998. 29 Nov. 2008 .

This website gave me much more detail on bob Marley. the part that helped me on my project the most was "After the amazing honour and experience Bob Marley continue to record, "Uprising" was released in 1980". this was my favorite part because it showed that his legacy still lives on today. his music is just songs on a record. his lyrics has meaning, and effected a lot of peoples lives.

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...
