Bob Marley clearly represent the "American Dream". He grew up in the slums of Jamaica with his mother. Before he was born his father left, and made Bob's mother name his Robert, after his brother. Bob grew up in a very small home which greatly resembled a shack, rather than a home. After his music career took off in Jamaica, Bob went to America hoping to create a name for himself. He became the first well known reggae artist to come to America. Bob showed people that it was important to embrace where you came from because it turned you into the person you are today. Most of Bob's music consisted of uplifting songs that everyone was able to relate too. His music inspired people to stand up for what they believed in, and to try to remain positive at all times. His music influenced people all over the world, and it still does today. Bob's musical career accurately represents the ideal "American Dream".
