VAMANOS!!! "Ch.3-4/ Prompt 13"


During this section of the book Jesse is often pressured to go to the rally down own for higher wages for people working in farms. These rallies are organized by the famous Chavez who is very well known for such rallies. Many of Jesse's freinds are going to the rally but Jesse is stuck in a sticky situation. He needs the money from work and can not afford to skip a day for the rally, yet he wants to support the cause and continue to be stuck inthe situatoin he is currently found. Finally Jesse makes his decison and decides to attand the rally. He discussed this with his brother Abel and his brother is quite mad. They will have a tough time the week of the rally because of the shortage of money.
I would have reccomended that Jesse stay at work. One person wont change anything at the rally the point will still get across, the family is haveingn hard times and family is the most important thing in the world. Fo rthe families sake Jesse should have worked.

JESUS IS DEAD!!??!! "Ch 1-2/ Prompt 5"


In chapter one Jesse's step father and her had a brief discussion about god. They are discussing Jesse's long hair and Jesse says, "Jesus had long hair," to which her step father replied, "Jesus is dead." He shows his believes by shutting down Jesse's. Jesse responds back arguing that Jesus is alive inside everyone, to this the step father says, "I don't see or hear him."

This is a moving statement for me because it shows the lack of faith Jesse's step father has. I have a strong faith and I am touched in a bad way that the stepfather doesn't. I believe a relationship with god is very important to everyone's life and I feel bad for people that lack such a relationship.

Differences


During his stay in Peru Che realized that he is much different than the Indians in which he was interacting with. Can you think of anything different between Che and yourself? Explain.

This do now compare Che to people of our generation. We have yet to do this and I think much conversation could result.

Essential Question


Before we studied Che I assumed his goals were to be a world power. He was a big piece of the Cuban Communist puzzle in my mind and I thought world power was on his list for things to accomplish. After studying Che and reading his journals I am starting to believe that Che maybe is getting what he actually wanted. I think Che wanted to be remembered, he wanted to impact the lives of millions even after his death. His journals are written in such a way that I believe maybe he knew he was going to die before his time. His goal was to come across as a hero and a good guy that people can look up to. In his untimely death he has left behind mystery abut his life that makes his legacy controversially but for many Che is a hero and he will be forever.

Chili!!!!!!!


pg. 87 "Why do you complain about your treatment if you are not contributing to the maintenance of this hospital?"

This quote could have influenced Che's beliefs in communism. The quote is saying that everyone should have a part i doing work that helps the community. You have no right to complain if you do not help with the issues in which you complain about. Communism is about everyone working together for the better of the community. This is related directly to the quote and i belief this situation might influence Che's ideas in the future.
