The Ideology of Che Guevara
Throughout the documentary, viewers learn about the life of Che Guevara. He started off as a doctor, and then decided to travel the world. His intentions were good, and he wanted change for the countries he had power in. His whole ideology revolved around revolution and reform. Che had a more moral incentive to the revolution rather then the materialistic point of view. He wanted to be involved in the revolution purely for the good of the people rather then for the position of power he could receive from it While most dictators or influential people in the government were greedy, Che Guevara had a different outlook.

My Documentary on Che Guevara

If I were to create a documentary on a man who I know little to nothing about, I would research him first. I would have the documentary go in chronological order from his birth until his death because otherwise it gets too confusing and I think that the audience viewing the movie would be confused if it went it media res or having flash backs or beginning in the end. If I were the director I would make the most outstanding point, whether he was generally a good or bad person, and highlight on them the most.

Road Trip To Disney World :)

I remember back in 7th grade my family took a road trip to Florida. The purpose of going to Florida was to see Disney World and have a fun time ☺. All five of my family members piled into my Dad’s big white Tahoe, and we traveled what seemed like a million miles in order to reach our destination. Our first stop was in Virginia, where we had some lousy pancakes and orange juice with an obscene amount of pulp in it. Next we made it to South Carolina where we stopped at a rest stop. We did not really see any sights while traveling through these states, but I’ll never forget that I was actually in different states. We finally made it to Florida, St. Augustine, a beautiful beach with orange rocky sand. We stayed in a Hotel for a few days, it was breath taking there. We finally made it to Disney world and it was like seeing every theme park ever made all in one. We stayed in the Contemporary building, and we traveled around in the monorail to get from park to park. My favorite ride was the Rockin’ Roller Coaster. The hotel room was a double suite, the bed comforters had a weird blue green and pink pattern on them. The bathrooms were all in white, the counters were marble. The ride home was sad, I knew I wouldn’t be back in Florida for at least a long time.

Book Preview: The Motorcycle Diaries
When I first look at a book, I look at the cover to see what type of illustration on the front. Next I look at the color schemes to see if they follow a pattern. When a book is bright and eye catching, I am more likely to read it. When a book is black and white I think that it is old, therefore irrelevant to my life. This book has a white and black picture of a man, but also it includes the colors yellow and blue. After viewing Beck’s video about the man Che Guevara, I have nothing to expect but a book about a man who killed a lot of people and became a symbol of revolution. I think this book will be interesting not because of the main character but the title of the book. I want to learn why it is titled “The Motorcycle Diaries.”

Che Guevara- The False Idol
At the beginning of this video, I had no idea who this guy named “Che” was, but after watching the video several more times I gained a better understanding of who this man was and what he did. I think that some of Beck’s facts were wrong, or were embellished simply because of his attitude towards what he was talking about. I agree that Che Guevara killed many people and is responsible for many deaths, and I also was
was shocked that his face was printed on tee shirts of ignorant “westerners”. When Glen was talking about how Che was an executioner a judge and a jury I was shocked because I have no idea who this guy is nor have I seen him on a shirt. Beck talked in a way that he was trying to get his point across before he laid out the actual facts that would help prove his points. I think that the manner in which he spoke would make anyone not want to listen or watch his video because it is almost sarcastic and extremely embellished and over zealous. Beck’s key points were that Che has been idolized by people who do not know who he was. Beck was trying to expose the truth that Che was a communist that was responsible for killing people. He also claims that Che is almost a celebrity communist. Che is a man who killed many people, and should not be glorified for it.
