Group 2: Religion
Rastafarianism is a religion existing primarily in Jamaica. Some things that come along with the religion are dread locked hair, red/yellow/green colored clothing, and smoking a hell of a lot of marijuana. In the book Rule of the Bone, I-man follows almost all of the guidelines of being a true Rasta. He only eats natural foods grown by himself without any chemicals, he smoked loads of ganja, has dreads, talks so no one's quite sure what he's saying, and he also seems to have resentment toward white people.
I learned a lot about Rastafarianism from this group's presentation. I knew very little about it before. The only thing I noticed was all of the weed and the dread locks from reading the book. Also, I did notice that they seemed a little angry or had some contempt toward white people. The scene in the book where the Rastas kill a whole bunch of them led me to notice this. I-man also talked the "language" of Rastafarianism. As a reader, ignorant of the details of this religion, I was incredibly annoyed trying to read the Rasta talk, especially when Chappie/Bone started to talk about it. But after the presentation today, I understand why all of that was necessary in the book. That's about all I have to say about that. Do you like my poem?
