Thesis

Che did not know what he wanted to become but in fact became the person that he did through different experiences and hardships that occurred in his life.

essential question: che

I think that Che knew early on that he wanted to have a true impact on the world around him but more specifically the communities he was involved with. He saw the things around him that he liked and disliked and wanted to change the things he saw as wrong for the better. You can see in his writings when he speaks of not being able to help the sick woman that he wishes he would have been able to do more for her even though he was unable. He wanted to become someone that the people could rely on to make a change having their best interests at heart, but did he accomplish this, one must decide for themselves. He went from country to country early on seeing the world around him molding the future beliefs that we saw so prominent to him in the documentry.

article

This article reminds me of some of the work Che did during his lifetime. When they talk about how the U.S. is training troops in Pakistan it reminds me of when he was training people in Bolivia. It is different in the way that the United States is taking a major role in the efforts as opposed to when, I believe, they were against it occurring in Bolivia. They were also just the same with the secrecy of the projects, although it is not secret anymore!

voice

One great example of Che's voice is when you read the letter he writes to his mother. This not only shows you how he is protective of his mother by sharing selective events with her but also the more caring side of him. He tells his mom not to worry about him and by trying to keep in contact, shows that he is happy about his life and family. Another example of this is when he is talking about the dog, Comeback. He shares deep feelings for the dog, relying on him as one of two companions for a part of the trip. Both these things provide a glimpse into the man Che was during his journey.
