All-Inclusive
Jamaica is
warm! Not just in the weather, but the culture and the people are so warm and
inviting. The resort was really nice! I am so glad we were able to swim in the
water and lay on the beach. After the winter we have had, I never want to leave
the warmth again. I really enjoyed talking to the workers at the resort. There
were 4 people in particular that I talked to the most: Lorree, Sabrina, Jamar,
and Marcus. Kacey, Kewan, Autumn, and I talked to them a lot about their
culture, their thoughts on Americans, and their music preferences. They were
all very shocked that we knew who Vybz Kartel was. After a quick survey, I have
come to realize that many people think that Vybz was framed. I asked them why
and one of them thought it was because he had such a high pull with younger
people that it could be threatening to the government. I do not know much about
Vybz, expect the small little things we learned in class. Now I want to read
his book even more! I also asked them if they all listen to Bob Marley. They
all said they loved Bob Marley! I then asked them if they associate any artist
with America as we do with Bob Marley and Jamaica. They said that no one in
particular stood out in their mind. Throughout our stay, I could not get out of
my mind Here Comes the Sun. I hope
and hope that none of the workers had to endure a life similar to Margot while
working at that resort.
