Landan Gross English 160 37 15 November 2012 Ernesto “Che” Guevara Ernesto Guevara. For many, the name means nothing. Although people can instantly recognize his face, many have no idea who the man was or why you see his face on T-shirts, posters and other merchandise all around the world. Most people know him as Che. He is the man in the iconic picture wearing a beret looking outward with his pained and hopeful eyes. The famous image of Che has come to represent many things since its rise in popularity

Ernesto Guevara Iconic Status Aged twenty-four, Ernesto Guevara pens a regular letter home to Rosario, Argentina from his flat in Mexico. It concludes: "Things are moving with tremendous speed and no one can know, or predict, where or for what reason one will be next year"[1]. This, perhaps, is one indication of the mans legendary appeal - not as a hero of socialism or political ideologist, but as a free-spirited and non-fictitious adventurer. After all, how many of

country and eliminated them. Many people were disgusted, even offended that Batista would do such a thing. This is what sparked Fidel Castro 's hatred toward the Batista regime. He began plotting Batista’s downfall, later having the help of Ernesto “Che” Guevara. July 26, 1953 is a day that shall live in infamy in the Cuban history.

She played with her friends, pretending to be Che Guevara and fantasized about the similarities between her god and Karl Marx. It would not be until the conflict of lovers from incompatible social classes (between Mehri, the maid and their neighbor) along with stories of her grandfather (the prime minister

Might Have Been Pérez-Stable concludes the first chapter of The Cuban Revolution with a section entitled: "The Cuba That Might Have Been". She talks about how the transformation of monoculture appeared to be in the future, how U.S. capital was on the rise into Cuba, how tourism was booming into a significant new industry, and how a few other industries were in a position likely to succeed in the 1960s.

1. What can this book teach a 21st century reader about the period in which it was written or set or both? (In some books, they are the same, in others not.) Waiting for the Barbarians did an excellent job of masking the exact time frame that it took place in. Despite this, some details, for example, types of weapons demonstrate the fact that it takes place in roughly modern times, at the very least, post-industrial revolution. Despite this, the conflicts that occur in the book seem to be reminiscent

they are false. Every year our International upward-mobility ranking regresses, meaning it is becoming harder and harder for Americans to move up the financial ladder. But how is it that a country that has the largest GDP can be outside the top 10 in upward-mobility? Why is it that the most powerful and wealthy country in the world doesn’t have free/universal healthcare? How is it that while other nations have begun promoting free college tuition we have refused to do so? This is because the United

Task 1 Part A: A satire to some, but a slanderous novella to us: George Orwell’s Animal Farm uses a plethora of satirical techniques to mock our glorious authoritarian regimes. Throughout the sequence of events, the animals live under ridiculous commandments, such as not wearing clothing or sleeping on beds. They are each rightfully voided until one modified version remains: “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL / BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell, Animal 133). The trimmings of freedom, although
