Picture

This picture depicts the life of a solider as he embarks across the vast land that he has helped take over. Running across this rugged land he lacks the ability to realize the true beauty that surrounds him. The difficult times of the past and his unknown future hang on his shoulders yet he lives in the minute, forced to focus on the now. Death in his field tends to be just a fact of everyday occurrence yet he continues to fight on in the hope that all will end as it should.

Decisions

In todays day and age I think that a multitude of factors effect the decisions we make. First of all I think that the way you were raised and the beliefs that you have are a major weight. Growing up in different ways gives us different perspectives on life. These perspectives supply us with ideas that shape who we are and what we want to become, this person made through decisions we make. For example when choosing the college that I wanted to attend I found guidance through what I wanted to be in life and how my choice would benefit me.
Another major factor I think is the society and the people around you. Not only does society help make decisions for you but it sometimes shows you the results. Countless people have done things in the public eye and you see that and either decide that maybe you should or should not do something because of the way society reacted. I also think that the people around you play a major role because these people provide an outside but close aspect for you to talk it over.
Decisions impact you throughout your life and are as simple as which way to drive or as difficult as what college you want to attend. However large or small they may be it is important to make the right choices for yourself so that you end up who you want to be.

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.

Do Now

Che describes the process in which he and Alberto got things from people whether it be food or shelter. Do you have your own version of this technique for certain purposes? Does it always seem to work just like it does for Che and Alberto?

I chose to ask about this do now because I was surprised at how they had comprised their own little way of doing things, almost as if it were a script. I wanted to know if anyone else also had any similar ways of doing things and when they use it.

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.

By right or might, land undefined.

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.
