This is so inspirational. You rarely hear about individuals with a spirit and soul as pure and loving as Bob Marley. Just hearing the words in his music can send something through a person. I agree that he was a very insprational figure in history.

Honestly, probably wouldn’t agree with you at all until I read your blog. You did a great job of portraying the positive messages Bob Marley believed in and supported. Good job making it relatable for the readers while still being informational. But you might have wanted to further explain how his music has really affected others around the world, not just Jamacia and US

This was a very interesting piece on Bob Marley, and really accessed pathos (emotional pull) really well, which is key to your argument that he was the greatest individual.

However, I feel your concluding paragraph should have gone further in explaining why his music’s popularity is important, the ways culture has been affected because of his fervent devotion to Rastafarianism or his endorsement of marijuana use, for example.

Overall, this was very educational and entertaining at the same time so good job!

I would have never thought about Bob Marley for this, but he has had a very big impact on the world. I do agree that he is one of the most influential musicians in the world.

I would not have thought of Bob Marley when thinking about who “The Greatest Individual” was. But after reading this I can definitely see him being a valid candidate.
You made some great points, and the pictures really caught my attention. Well done blog.

Okay well I have to say, first of all, you stole my idea. I wanted to do Bob Maley! lol

Besides that though, good job and good synopsis on his life. Bob Marley is awesome and amazing and you captured that. The only problem is that this needs to be an essay on WHY your person is the GREATEST individual in history. You didn’t really address that at all until the very end. It would’ve been nice if you talked about his influence around the world and paid more attention to why he was great, not just talking about his life. You could’ve also cited examples from lyrics from some of his songs. That could’ve helped.

Good job over all =]

Bob Marley is probably not the person you’d think of off the top of your head for being the greatest individual in history, but I’d probably have to agree now that I think about it. He does have a good message, other than the whole marijuana thing, that could influence the world for the better.

Very well done. The pictures draw in the reader’s attention and you clearly illustrate Bob’s philosophy of peace and love and how he demonstrated it by being non discriminatory and producing non violent music. One thing I would have done was put links to videos of the songs mentioned. I’ve heard the songs mentioned, but not everyone is familiar with good music.

One Love.

I mean sure it’s expected for me to comment on this blog lol but I love Bob Marley. He still rings throughout my house and car and pretty much any and every where else. He is the reason and is like a modern Ghandi lmao
