"My quinine tablets made no difference, my head was like a drum hammering out strange rhythms, bizarre colors shifted shapelessly across the walls and some desperate heaving produced a green vomit." (p. 41)
The description he uses in this quotation is present throughout the section. In this passage, his diction really paints a picture for the reader and shows exactly how he felt. He is very precise with his word choice to show what was going on with him at the time.
"Allergic as I am to the cold, those 20 meters there and back that I swam to retrieve what Alberto had shot down made me suffer like a Bedouin. Just as well that roast duck, flavored as usual with our hunger, is one exquisite dish." (p. 48)
This scene painted by Che shows us that he is: allergic to the cold, a retriever for Alberto's game, and extremely hungry. He shows us in these two sentences that he was extremely hungry and swam for the duck that Alberto shot down. I like how he depicted this scene especially.
