Along the way, Che is exposed to extreme events of poverty, vulnerability, and overall suffering. Originally, Che’s only goal in life was to become a famous doctor who would help fight off the leper disease invading South America.

    Che Guevara's Legacy

    • 324 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The popular culture view of Che Guevara imposes on his position in history. Society holds the ability to construct the image that he holds in the public today. The problem with this lies “in the mythologizing of a figure such as Ernesto Che Guevara is the loss of a critical analysis of praxis” (Holst 170). Meaning, we lose the ability to learn from Che and clearly understand his position and influence on the world we live in today. The fate of his legacy is dependent on his representation as a human in history. To insure that he is analyzed fairly it is necessary to be informed on both the positive and negative actions throughout his life. As well as clearly understanding the biases that Loewen’s idea of heroification has on his legacy. The…

    Motorcycle Diaries

    The effectiveness of the film as a source of history of a time period was not excellent because the film just focused on Che Guevara’s beginnings. It showed how he started to opt for his political career rather than continue medicine, yet it did not go more in depth of the actual accomplishments he had. It was evident that the cruelty, injustice and tremendous poverty created a strong impact on Guevara, psychologically, emotionally and idealistically. Since then, he became a Marxist and supported Fidel Castro. Che Guevara turned his attention to South America. He believed that Bolivia would be his best bet to start a revolt, because of its discontented peasant population and the United States’ relative lack of interest in it. He grossly misjudged the political climate, however, and found it difficult to recruit soldiers. He was captured by Bolivian Army troops on October 8, 1967. The army was in a dilemma as to what to do with him; they feared a trial would only stir up support for the revolutionary. The next day they executed Che Guavera by shooting him in his cell. Che reportedly…

    In 1960, America was enjoying a period of relative prosperity. With the exception of the stirrings of the modern civil rights movement, domestic turbulence was low, and the primary foreign threat seemed to be the intensifying Cold War. Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba in 1959, and installed a Communist regime just ninety miles off the coast of Florida. In May 1960, an American U-2 spy plane was shot down inside the Soviet Union, further intensifying tensions between the superpowers. The Republican nominee, Vice President Richard Nixon, was enjoying a growing reputation for his foreign policy skills after his televised "kitchen debate" with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1959. The Democratic nominee, charismatic Massachusetts Senator…

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. The image has become so popular that it has come to represent more than just the ideas and life of Che.
