Ernesto "Che" Guevara

The big question that has everyone stuck is was Che Guevara a hero or a villain. Che Guevara was a marxist revolutionary, which is a practice of communism which is not a good thing. Communism leads to dictatorship because you want everyone to share wealthiness, so everyone is equal, no one is being paid more no one is being paid less than anyone else. People can have less money than they had before but everyone is still equal. The bad part is some people are working harder than other people but they still get paid the same, also the people who do what the dictator says can get paid more money from the leader which means they might as well go back to where they started because the leader and the people who does what the leader says have more

Julius Caesar, a play written by William Shakespeare, speaks about friendship, trust, love, and betrayal. The conspirator’s believed that what they did was justifiable. One may argue that they did it for the love of their country, but did they? Some might say yes while others may disagree. This essay will talk about how the conspirator’s actions were not justifiable and how they killed Caesar out of bad intentions.

The most important sources that this paper will analyze are Che’s personal writings: Diary of a Combatant and Reminiscences of The Cuban Revolutionary War. Both are crucial for understand Che’s transformation from a troop doctor to a guerilla commander. To understand Che’s influence on the Cuban Revolution it is important to understand Che’s background. Che was born Ernesto Guevara de la Serna in Rosario Argentina on June 14, 1928. Che’s upbringing was modest and his parents were educated and a part of the middle class..

Antique cars line up along the streets of Havana, while horse buggies prance on the cobbled roads with large posters depicting images of the country’s revolutionary leader, Che Guevara posted on the walls besides them. Entering the small towns,Whitman students and teachers were welcomed by Cuban dancers and offered by the locals to join in their activities.

While still idolized by many, Che was far from a hero or a just man. Through the annals of history there have always been false idols who have abused power. The individuals who lead these great attacks on not only people that they attack but the good of humanity as a whole. Che Guevara was a leader of the Cuban Revolution who still represents hope and anti-oppression for many. Despite his later vile and atrocious acts he is still mistakenly viewed as an icon a facade of what is imagined of him to be. The reality is that he committed evil and impermissible acts “This is a man who banned music, burned books, hated blacks, was an anti-Semite, murdered those who disagreed with

Ernesto “Che” Guevara was a part of the 26th of July Movement in Cuba. He became a revolutionary leader who inspired many and brought the guerrilla to victory in 1959. He was a part of the eighty-two men who sailed on the Granma from Mexico to Cuba in December of 1956 (Staten 114). The biographical film, Che: Part One directed by Steven Soderbergh, shows the journey of Che and the guerrillas as they attempted to defeat Batista’s military. Che: Part One is not simply just a depiction of Che’s life, but it brings you right into the action of the armed struggle the guerrilla faced. The revolution shaped Che into the leader he became. He started out as a simple doctor who wanted to bring the people of Cuba what they deserved. Che went through changes as the periods of the revolution went on. He grew to be a leader that would bring his people to the victories they achieved. Throughout the portrayal of the revolution, it can be seen how Che changes and adapts based on what situation he is facing and how the movie shows it. The film goes back and forth between the times Che is in Cuba fighting and after he wins the revolution and talks about his experiences.

The film Che is about the man, Che, who joined forces in Cuba and start a revolution to end of the Batista regime in Cuba. The men that fought in the revolution were in bad conditions because they were on a really hard and dangerous combat, most of them got hurt during this fight. Also, the film shows that a lot of peasants were tortured and murdered by Batista’s army because of two men that decide to betrayal to the revolution and one of them was the messenger of the Rebel Army. Indeed, I think that Che became a hero in Cuba because he was a doctor but during the revolution, he was the commander and the one who protect and gave Cuba the freedom again and everyone respects him and him made sure that everyone was doing the right thing.

Che Guevara is one of the most well-known Latin American revolutionaries in history. Che helped Fidel Castro overthrow the government in Cuba because he believed if he were in power he could build a successful Marxist society . However before joining Castro Che was a physician. During Che’s journey across South America he came across the indigenous population of the countries he went through. Through his encounters with them Che got the idea that they were an unsophisticated, population. An example of Che experiencing this is when he is making water by melting ice and he noticed that during the “spectacle” of drinking his “strange brew…not a

Hated by many, loved by loyalists, the name Fidel Castro would increasingly begin to be recognized by many across the world. One of several sons of a Spanish immigrant and soldier during the Cuban War of Independence, Castro was lucky to be raised in a wealthy family granting him greater opportunities growing up compared to others in his hometown. This led towards better education where he would later in his life begin studying law at the University of Havana and become heavily involved in political activism. This ultimately sparked his radical political viewpoints on the current state of Cuba at the time as well as the political climate in other countries. Castro gained self-confidence through studying the works of prominent historical

Fidel Castro was welcomed by many Cubans in 1959 overthrow of the dictatorial President Fulgencio Batista, but made many Americans nervous. Fulgencio was pro-American and was an ally with many companies in the U.S. He was also against communism, unlike Fidel. Sugar plantation in Cuba was taken over and owned by American corporations and many successful individuals, as well as its mines, cattle ranches and utilities. Fidel opposed the approach that Americans took to their business and interests in Cuba. The time had come for the Cubans to take more control of their own country and properties. Fidel replaced the Cuban system from capitalism to communism, this is when transformation started taking place. He promised his people to give them back their rights, and free them from the U.S. The US was against Cuba since Castro was a communist, all they knew was that communism was bad. They have this image that communists are people who have beards, dress weirdly and are bad so we should stop them. This was an example of what schematic reasoning might lead to. They did not get to know Castro although he wasn’t that bad, all what he wanted to do was

What does a hypersexual Argentinian revolutionary called "the butcher" have to do with protests on American college campuses during the 1960s and 1970s? As it turns out, quite a bit. Che Guevara, the aforementioned revolutionary, was a rallying call for the American college students involved in these protests. The college students saw him as a manifestation of justice martyred and saw his beliefs as aligning with their own. During the 1960s and into the 1970s, protests occurring on American college campuses created an atmosphere of rebellion. College students wanted a symbol to represent this spirit, so they chose Che Guevara, despite the fact that he was a ruthless mass-murderer. College students used him as an icon to represent themselves,

Unfortunately he also had a very dark and brutal side. As the only other ranked Commandant besides Fidel Castro, Guevara was a harsh disciplinarian who sometimes shot anti-revolutionists. Deserters were punished as traitors, and Guevara was known to send killing squads to track those down. As a result, Guevara became feared for his brutality and ruthlessness. During the guerrilla campaign, Guevara was also responsible for the sometimes summary execution of a number of men accused of being informers, deserters or spies (Anderson-Lee 59-65).

Che Guevara was a revolutionist in South America. At first Che was part of the wealthy class in Argentina and he thought poor people were just awful. He took a journey across South America in places like Venezuela and Peru with friend Ernesto because they wanted to become doctors. Across their travels Che noticed a lack of health care throughout the countries and realized that the rich were undermining and treating the poor badly. After traveling Che decided to join Fidel Castro and his revolution movement. Che did this because him and Fidel had the same ideas on giving equal rights to the poor and basically drain the rich of their money. Since Fidel and Che overthrown Bautista who the USA supported the USA hated Che and Fidel for having
