Columbia and Venezuela

"...that you will die with a clenched fist and tense jaw, the epitome of hatred and struggle, because you are not a symbol (some inanimate example) but a genuine member of the society to be destroyed." (page 164)

"But despite his words, I now knew...I knew that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic halves, I would be with the people." (page 164)

"I fell my nostril dilate, savoring the acrid smell of gunpowder and blood, the enemy's death; I steel my body, ready to do battle, and prepare myself to be a sacred space within which the bestial howl of the triumphant proletariat can resound with new energy and new hope." (page 165)

Each of these quotes describes the energy and the passion that Che feels. He speaks about how he wants to work for the people and how if he had to choose he would do anything for the people. He talks about how he is ready to go and fight for the people and what both he and they believe in. He seems to know that it will be hard but he wants people to have a new energy and a new hope. The first picture I chose were of a protest, which symbolizes how Che plans to work to benefit the people. The second picture is of a soldiers face but from an angle that is looking upward. This symbolizes how the people will be looking up to Che to guide them and how he is strong and a good leader.

  1. I chose the same quotes as you and I agree. In this little section he talks with passion about helping the people. All these quotes shows that he isn't going to just give up and he is ready to battle for these people. I also like your pictures because one is like the people he is fighting for and the other is like him ready to fight.
