How it is revealing and limiting
Another popular Jamaican folktale that is both limiting and revealing is “Anansi the Spider.” One way that it is revealing is because it shows how some of the houses and celebrations look like. Jamaican celebrations are celebrated using traditional ways, and Anansi shows some of these ways that Jamaicans have celebrations. Also the author, Gerald McDermott, reveals that in Jamaican folktales, it is common for there to be a 'trickster' in the story. This relates
to the culture because it is traditional to include a trickster in the folktale. The colors also reveal Jamaican culture. The pictures in the folktale use bright, rich, and bold colors that are also used during celebrations. This story doesn't limit much from the culture except for the personality of the people who
live in Jamaica and how welcoming they really are.
