"It is a glimpse of two lives running parallel at a time, with similar hopes and convergent dreams." This quote describes Che Guevara's individual voice as the narrator of this story. Che is reflecting on his hopes and dreams he shares with at first what seems like his friend Alberto, but really Che was describing himself. I think that in a way Che wants to believe that he went on this journey purely to be adventurous, but looking back he had another side of himself that wanted this journey for other reasons.This quote has some imagery, it makes you imagine how his life is a journey. His syntax flows well, as well as his diction and word choice.
"My tired eyes refused to sleep and in them a pair of green spots swirled, representing the world I had left for dead behind me mocking the so-called liberation I sought." page 40. This quote immediately jumps out at me as having imagery. Also, it has a lot of descriptive words that portray this kind of mystical feeling he is having from lack of sleep. This quote also digs deeper into his subconscious viewpoint of his own journey during that time. He feels as if he is chasing a dream that is condoned.
