Chapter 19 was a big surprise for me. I didn't expect IMan to die because it was nearing the end of the book and Chappie seemed to finally have peace in his life living amongst the rastas. This event was typical for Chappie because people that he cares about or care about him always end up leaving him in one way or another. His mom, his dad, Russ, Bruce, Sister Rose, and IMan all left him and those were all the people he cared about. It's possible that in Chappie's last lifetime he could've been a serial killer and this could be what happens when you live a bad life before.
Man's inhumanity to man is one of the sad things about the world. Genocide and other forms of inhuman acts happen every day. In the novel, Chappie's stepdad Ken shows inhumanity by raping Chappie and driving him away from his own mother. Basically leaving him to die. It's hard to imagine anyone that would try so hard to get a child away from the only person that cared for him, his mother. Humans can act very selfishly and it's depressing to know that people don't care about how other people feel about anything.
The person responsible for IMan's death is Ken. He was the root of Chappie's journey to Jamaica. If Chappie would've never left home, he never would've met IMan and even if IMan moved to Jamaica he wouldn't have been in Doc's spaceship having sex with Evening Star. It had to have been Doc that ordered Jason to kill IMan.
