Reflections

Wanted Poster (David Jee) Che was a legendary revolutionary who fought for freedom. The Che was a commander of a Cuban Army, and he was a threat to the world. While Che was in action, the cold war also began as well. The Soviet Union, and the USA were in wars supporting their side. (Soviet: Communism, USA: Democracy) I made this Wanted Poster to show some historical context, that communist countries like the Soviet Union, weren't after Che, but Democracies, such as the United States were. Che was assassinated by Sergeant Mario Teran in 8/9/1967 when an order was received which stated that they were to have no prisoners. Letter to the Editor ( Melanie Campbell) : The purpose of the letter was to provide insight into some of the relationship dynamics involving Che. I also wanted to show how strange it is how quickly Ernesto the doctor became Che the revolutionary. Poem (Melanie Campbell): Che was a very powerful and idealistic leader. The poem was supposed to illustrate how influential he was, but at the same time it shows how his actions and ideals conflict with one another. Clothing ad : (Andres Prince) I found the clothing ad to be a great way to describe Che's style of clothing. It seemed as if he always wore the same guerilla uniform with the berrett and the military boots. So I put those three things for Sale as authentic pieces that were found and now used as memorabilia because he at one point in his life wore these articles of clothing. I thought about putting the modern T-shirts that you see young teenagers with, but I wanted to make something original and I thought this would be an excellent way. I thought it would fit in perfectly with the newspaper theme as well because you always see those random offers for cars and other things in the paper. I also priced them very high because to some people he was a hero and would spend a lot of money on their hero's memorabilia. Song lyrics : (Andres Prince) I wrote a song about Che's dream and how the adventure that he took with Alberto through out South America really changed him as a person. It turned Ernesto into Che and after seeing all the poverty that he passed by through out his journey he realized he wanted a lot more out of life than just a medical degree. In the lyrics I also talk about his determination to get to his goal and how he wont stop until he achieves it. While there is a lot more I cold have included in the lyrics, because his life didn't just include of the trip he took around South America. I chose not to include it because it would have been an extremely lengthy song and I would have had to add a lot more to it. The purpose of the song was to express the feelings and the ups and downs of his life, such as the trip with Alberto and his interesting lifestyle after being banished to Africa. Newspaper Article : (Andres Prince) I found very interesting that Ernesto had six kids, but they didn't say a lot about them in the documentary, so I decided to write an article on how he was a terrible father. I see him as a bad father because with all of the work that he had on his hands he must have not had a lot of time for his kids. So I wrote an article explaining why I felt he was such a bad parent. While I am sure that others would disagree with my opinion I still stand by it because it is what I believe. If he was such a good father he wouldn't have left his family and kids behind when he left Cuba. I understand that he was a very busy man, but he could have found the time to make room for his family. This is why I wrote the article on Che's role as a father figure. Photo Slideshow ( David Jee)  I did Photo slideshow to show a little biography of Che. Che is considered to be a different figures to everyone. Che could be revolutionary, rebellion, or a peace maker. Che fought to bring communism in the world, so that everyone could be equal in their wealth, and their lives. I thought I could introduce Che more by making a photo slideshow. In the Photo Slideshow, I included where Che was born, motorcycle trips, when he got married, and after he joined an army. I made this Photo Slideshow as a quick biography of Che, so that people can have a idea of what he is. I didn't include details about Che, because it is meant to just give a big idea of Che. I also included that Che was sympathetic,because he started to study medicine, when his grandmother passed away. I thought this showed his love, and sympathetic toward his family. I also included two quotes by Che, because I thought his quotes were very shocking, and interesting. Diary Entry ( David Jee)   ﻿ This diary entry is another diary that is found after Che died. I made this as if it was never founded before, and I thought I could use this diary as to show how Che have felt in his life during the revolution. Che's life was threatened so much that, I thought it would be interesting to see everything from Che's point of view. Che should be very suspicious of anyone, because he is a human being too, and when he knows that a lot of people are trying to kill him, he will be more sensitive, and suspicious. The summary of the diary is that, Che wanted to make a world equal for everyone, and Che didn't understand why people won't agree with him. Interview (Melanie Campbell): I used the interview as a way of showing the reasoning behind Che's actions and why he became involved in guerilla warfare. It takes place during his captivity, so one who knows about Che would know that he doesn't live long after this fake interview. This is sort of like his last words.
