No Women No Cry

I’m reading a story on bob marleys wife. The book is called No Women No Cry by Rita Marley.  This story tells me about how she lived in Jamaica her whole life. She went through a lot. Her mom passed away, and she had to live with her mean grandmother. They both went through poverty. They lived in a neighborhood where you would here gun shots every night. Later on she began a reggae band. She sang in cafes and restaurants. Later on she met the Waller brothers the band Bob Marley was in. they both made a song together. They started going out and eventually they got married. They had eight kids. They both became famous. They both sang together in all sorts of countries. Bob had a viral disease and he had to take 6 pounds of marijuana every week. One day bob was playing soccer and he had a foot injury. It was against his religion to get surgery. Eventually it got infected really badly and he passed away at 26 years old.

Rita Marley was a woman that went through drugs, poverty and living in a really bad neighborhood. I think that Rita wanted to live in ghetto places because she mentioned how she loved to be around her friends. Her friends did drugs and one of them was arrested for murder. Maybe she just got used to the ghetto neighborhood that she thinks that she likes hanging out with those kinds of people. Also her mom was addicted to crack cocaine. One day they were going through bankrupt that her mom decided to committing suicide by overdosing. I think that Rita likes to hang out with people that are bad influence on her because of her mom, but on the other hand her dad did leave her. The grandma hit Rita and abused her brothers. Rita also mentioned that singing helps her get away from all the stuff that’s going around her.
