How it is revealing and limiting
One Jamaican folktale that is both limiting and revealing is "Anansi and the Sky God's Stories." It is limiting because it does not mention music, which is
by far one of the most important parts of the culture that Jamaicans have. For example, Jamaican music can be heard in the most unusual places that
there are in the world, but in the folktale, it does not mention any music whatsoever. It is revealing because it includes the fairies that love to dance, which is relating to the Jamaican dances that are just as important as music. For example, the fairies like to dance under the flamboyant tree, while the Jamaicans like to dance in dance halls. It is revealing because it tells about a god that lives in heaven, while most Jamaicans are Christians that believe in
God and heaven as well. For example, Anansi spun his web up to heaven to meet the sky god, Nyame. "Anansi and the Sky God's Stories" includes limiting and revealing factors of folklore.
