Tolarence... "Ch. 12/Prompt 16"

All year in class we have spoken about tolerance of all cultures and respecting each other as human beings who are all equal. In this book tolerance is a problem. Mexican relate to Mexicans while they constantly fight with the whites. there is very little tolerance in the book and this climaxes in Chapter 12 when Jesse gets beat up by a gang of white boys. Tolerance is a key part to peace in this world and the people in this story do not understand that.

A Spring Trip "Ch. 10/ Prompt 7"

Earlier I predicted that Abel would travel. My prediction was half current. Abel did travel but, Jesse went with him. They decided to travel for spring break and they planned on visiting Pismo Beach by way of hitchhiking. I predicted Abel would leave but I thought he would go alone not with Jesse. I was right in believing Abel would leave but I did not have the right circumstances.

JESSE... "Prompt 18"

The title of my book is Jesse. This is a simple and easy title. The story is about the life of a man names Jesse. He is the main character so the title makes good sense. If I were to change the title of the book I might call it, "Nuevo Familia" This means new family is Spanish. I would call it this because of the vast changes that Jesse family has. He goes from living with is mom and step dad to living with his brother and even adding girls into their lives.

Where do u REALLY want to go? " Ch.9/ Prompt 10"

In the story Jesse often asked where people want to go, but he is not interested about that moment he asks them where they want to go if they could go anywhere. His brother Abel first said the forest and in chapter nine he answered the amazon. I have a friend that often asks the same question as Jesse. "If you could go anywhere in the world, Where would you go?" His name is Rj and one of our hobbies is to just drive around until we fidn something that interests us. Almost everytime we do this he brings up the question of our altimate destination and the one place that we would most like to go.

BORING!!! "Ch. 8/ Prompt 1"

In chapter 8 almost nothing happened. The only significant thing that happened was that the brothers ahad a yard sale and made an extra 27 dollars for the week. Also Jesse found out that the girl he likes has a boy friends so he is kinda stuck in a tough situation now. I found this chapter very boring which suprised me beacuse this is the one chapter n the book where I felt this way. So far the story has been quite entertaining but chapter 8 was a disapointment for me.

Not Mexican??!!?? "Ch. 7' Prompt 4"

During this chapter Abel and Glenda hung out a bit more and even had a, "date" to the movies. When Abel returned home Jesse asked about the movie and asked also if Abel had been having feelings for Glenda. To this Abel replied, " she has a baby, and she is not Mexican." This greatly surprised me. Never before in this book had race been an issue. there was injustice but not due to race and never had any racism been spoken about. Suddenly Abel is not allowed to like a girl unless she is Mexican, when Jesse asked why Abel said, "it's just not right." It feels like another story of forbidden love.

Espanol..."Ch. 6/ Prompt 11"

The author often uses Spanish in his writing. In the story Jesse and his brother refer to their grandmother as, "abuelo" and often speak of the movement led by Chavez as, "la causa." This use of spanish brings the reader closer to the story. It allows yuo to connect further wiht the characters in the book. The spanish is used in a way that even with no knowledge of the language you could figure out the meaning of the words. This allows anyone reading to have to same connection with the characters. This connection very much increases the enjoyment of the book.

Time to Travel "Ch.5/ Prompt 6"

In Chapter 5 Jesse's brother Abel announces that he would at one point love to leave Fresno and travel to a great forest and live there for an extended period of time. This discussion sparks when a visitor stops by for dinner with the brothers and they all discuss school. Abel tells Jesse and the guest that he is studying forestry and plans to major in it so he can live in the forest when he grows old enough.
I predict that one point in the story Abel will leave for his journey and Jesse will be left alone. Support is found in the way Abel and Jesse discuss the matter. Jesse is surprised that Abel would do such a thing and Abel doesn't really seem to care what Jesse thinks of his plan. He is going to do what he wants regardless of Jesse.

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.

Thesis

Che Guevara's impact on today's world is relative to ones location, with distance his mark diminishes and in today's world his global influence is greatly inflated.

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.

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.
