Trinidad & Tobago is a Caribbean island full of Corruption, Cocaine, & Murder. the island from google's perspective is a beautiful tropical island filled with crystal water, soft sand, and a vacation paradise. although the island is indeed beautiful on scale, the country has some major problems. there is lots of violence, that comes from gangs, & drugs. in particular Cocaine. Trinidad & Tobago is the HUB for all cocaine trafficking. they export to all of the biggest countries, including the United States. Trinidad is also home to one of the biggest murderess countries, the drugs, cocaine, and corrupt system feed into the violent murders in the country. Needless to say Trinidad & Tobago is a beautiful country with a Corrupt system, drug infested streets, and mass murders.

"Cog- looks sickly, Moria who had once been a hospital nurse would sat to ma'am Jovey. Cog-Burt suffer, ma'am said ma'am Jovey. what does he suffer from? oh he suffer from worms, or so they say" and Cotton Candy "Lola waded through the lukewarm preludes, searching with unsure steps for the deep water of unhampered sex." some differences on why these stories are In fact different. the authors that wrote the stories, have two different audiences that they are trying to reach, as well as two different messages that they are trying to get across. Little Cog-Burt's message: two people who hate each other like the same things. Cotton Candy's: don't wait until you are about to die, to fulfill one of your dreams. these authors have two completely different messages that they are trying to get across to us, the audience.

Teiyette and the Devil
Teiyette and the Devil is a short story written by a young 17 year- old Guadeloupen girl. One can infer that she is Afro-Caribbean based off the text from the context "Tetiyette and the devil, however has the distinction of having been recorded as told in creole, by a seventeen year old girl" (Tetiyette and the Devil). In my personal opinion this short story is literary, meaning this story we read was entertaining all while getting a very important message across. In my personal opinion the message the Author was trying to get across was that: just because a guy is good-looking, doesn't mean he is right for you. The intended audience for this particular story is young girls. The author does this in many clever ways. One of my personal favorites is describing the first guys she meets in the story as animals. "The young girl came out, picked up the most beautiful of her silver cups and gave the goat a drink from it" (Tetyette and the Devil) this gives the reader a picture of a goat, which is not attractive at all. he continues to add another man that approaches her as a pig, he does this so us readers can see the guy she is seeing as a slob, and fat just like a pig. another great thing that I love on how the author got this message across was through Poetry using: repetition, rhythm, and a strong message. an example:
"oh, Mama! oh, Mama! Bel-air drum!
the man to whom you married me, Bel-air drum!
is a terrible devil! Bel-air drum!
he's eating me up! Bel-air drum!" (Teiyette and the Devil)
by using repetition it emphasizes the feelings that character has during that time, so us readers can have an understanding of what they are feeling at the time. You might notice that the words "Bel-air drum!' are used at the end of every sentence of this poem. this sets the rhythm, and or beat for the reader. It allows the author to create a way for every reader to read it the same way, just by creating a flow of using the same end phrases. I think this author did an outstanding job of building a story, for young girls to read and learn from. it creates a fun and entertaining story, all while getting a very important message across.

Trinadad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago is an island nation near Venezuela, with distinctive Creole traditions and cuisines. The smaller island of Tobago is known for its beaches and the Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve, which shelters hummingbirds. I have been studying the Island in the Caribbean called Trinidad and Tobago. I find this island very interesting. some things about this island that I find interesting are that the locals there have a huge carnival in celebration of their history, fashion, art, and culture all fused together to make the "Greatest Show on Earth" Trinidad and Tobago is also home to the largest round-about in the entire world!! how cool is that. also, has the worlds largest brain coral measuring 16ft across! now thats cool! Trinidad is home to the world’s largest Hanuman Murti statue outside of India, standing at 85 feet tall located in the village of Carapichaima. Tobago also has the largest and oldest protected forest reserve in the Western Hemisphere.
