Colombia & Venezuela

"It was...as if everything solid melted away in to the ether, eliminating all individuality and absorbing us, rigid, into the immense darkness." (p. 163) This is when Ernesto is talking about the poor people and how no one really notices them or cares about them, and he wants to help. They don't have any voice, and Ernesto feels almost obligated to help these people.

"Revolution is impersonal; it will take their lives, even utilizing their memory as an example or as an instrument for domesticating the youth who follow them." (p. 164) This is alluding to the courage of Che in fighting what he believes for. He is fighting for his people and a country to protect them from being taken over by an invading group of people. The picture shows him leading his people in a fight for freedom.

"I knew that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic halves, I would be with the people." (p. 164) This quotation talks about Che being split into two separate antagonistic halves. And in the end, he would choose to be with the people. The yin-yang below represents the two halves Che was talking about.
