Abstract
Che's post-"Motorcycle Diaries" life as a revolutionary is reviewed from his first encounter with resistance in Guatemala to his successful revolt in Cuba to his execution in Bolivia. Topics including Che's beliefs and ideologies, his revolution attempts and the immediate and indirect effects of his actions are explored through Che's own writings and a host of factual and opinionated reviews from Che's time to the present day. After thorough review of the topic, a look is taken at the range of contemporary opinion held about Che and specific viewpoints are highlighted. Finally, a conclusion is drawn in comparison and contrast to contemporary views, finding that Che's intentions were indeed admirable, however the effect of his efforts was sub-par.
From the Paper
"Che believed that for capitalism to be crushed, a complete social revolution, a worldwide uprising and cooperative movement of the working class would be necessary: "it must be defeated in a world confrontation" ("Che":Wikiquote). As later revealed in a public speech in the Algers, Che also believed that unless the soviets and other major communist powers were prepared to give unconditional support to reforming third-world countries (resulting in a loss for their own countries) they were no better than the profit-seeking imperialists themselves (Che 127). Making this particular speech worsened his relations with Russia (James 131), then allies of Cuba, but stands as testament to Che's unwillingness to curb his beliefs against the powerful, even if it meant scrutinizing allies. Necessary to fighting for a good cause is the unwillingness to compromise that cause."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Henry Butterfield Ryan's book, "The Fall of Che Guevara," an analysis of Che Guevara's insurgency. The paper shows that Guevara, while falling short of his goal in Bolivia, was still a remarkable man so that even in his mistakes he had the courage to follow his ideals. The author finds that this point is clarified in: I)Reasoning behind Che Guevara's placement in Bolivia; II)Che Guevara's physical location; III)The effects of the Bolivian Communist Party on the guerrilla movement; IV)The U.S. view on the insurgency in Bolivia; V)Spies, Soldiers, and Diplomats in The Fall of Che Guevara; and VII)Guevara in the classroom.
From the Paper
" "(I)n Order to form a more perfect union?," the preamble to the Constitution of the United States intimates what its founding fathers knew from the beginning. There is, and wouldn't ever be, a perfect union. Perfection is something to strive for, even though it cannot be reached. There is no definition of this perfect union. Is perfection to be strived for only within our borders? What about those countries we deal with? Is it easier to find perfection when it is compared to imperfection? We have relations with the South American country of Bolivia, and consequently, with those that govern it or try to change the way it is governed. One of the individuals that tried to change the way Bolivia, to a more perfect union, in his eyes, was Che Guevara. The American view of him, as well as his efforts, is of pure imperfection. After all, how can a fight for communism, a principle which so vehemently violates ours of democracy, be remotely considered as perfect? In his book, The Fall of Che Guevara, Henry Butterfield Ryan, while conceding that his insurgency was anything but perfect, Guevara was a remarkable man. Most would not agree that communism is any form of perfection, but Guevara saw it as more perfect than what was already in Bolivia. He was fighting for a principle that the U.S. was founded on, whether or not his interpretation of the word "perfect" is something most agree with matters not."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Guevara's early school life was a very dynamic one. Even though, he suffered from regular Asthma attacks, but never let those stop him from being a very active youngster. He was always involved in sports like soccer, golf and rugby. His aggressive nature and style also earned him the nickname of "de la Serna". Guevara studied medicine and upon his medical travels across Latin America proved to him that what the country needed was a drastic reform at all the economic and industrial levels. He believed that the trends of free enterprise and imperialism were resulting in huge social gaps and were allowing the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. These incidents instigated in him a drive to initiate change which was why he got involved in the movement in Guatemala and visited the United Nations sessions to promote the belief that he though was necessary for the kind of change that would initiate a more balanced economical division across the world."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Che Guevara failed to export the Cuban revolution to other countries because he lacked the political finesse to do so.It examines how his failed attempts to spark revolutions in the Congo and in Bolivia demonstrate the problems caused by Che's political ineptitude. The paper concludes that Che failed to help Cuba export the revolution because he failed to appreciate how Fidel Castro's political prowess guided Cuban rebels through a unique situation.
From the Paper
"Cuba was ripe for revolution in 1956 when Castro and his rebels in the Granma landed; Che was not a part of creating many of the conditions that contributed to their eventual triumph. Fulgencio Batista was a repressive leader who was not supported by a constitution. His brutal practices created virulent enemies and an unsupportive military. Facing constant pressure from well organized resistance from the M-26 organization and the Directorio Revolutionario in the cities, Batista could not devote the attention or resources necessary to put down what seemed like a relatively small threat from Castro in the mountains. Meanwhile, the urban members of M-26 were providing Castro with life-sustaining reinforcements and supplies. The guerillas in the Sierra Maestra could never have survived without the help and diversion provided by rebels in Cuba's cities."

Abstract
The paper explores why, although Che Guevara lost every revolutionary movement that he was the head of, he is still a symbol of revolution in Latin America. The paper details the early life of Che Guevara, how he joined Fidel's July 26th Movement, became the head of the Cuban National Bank and was finally captured and executed in Bolivia. The paper explains that Che Guevara became a symbol in Latin America because he was a rebel who stood up to the United States. The paper also explains that because his image was made famous by artist Jim Fitzpatrick, he managed to become the symbol of rebellion, reform and overcoming repression.
From the Paper
"October 9, 2007 marked the forty year anniversary of the death of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. As Che Guevara was attempting to lead a guerilla insurgency in Bolivia, he was captured and executed in 1967. The execution of Che Guevara created an astonishing impact on the Latin American community. Ever since his death, some 41 years ago, Che has become a symbol for revolution and an icon in Latin America, despite the fact that the majority of his efforts ended in total failure. There has been much speculation as to why this phenomenon came to be."

This paper analyzes T.S. Eliot's short poem "La Figlia Che Piange", which examines the re-writing and re-creating of an experience, drawing attention to the role of the poet and of poetry itself in re-defining reality.

Abstract
This paper reviews, in detail, each stanza of T.S. Eliot's short poem "La Figlia Che Piange" noting the specific word choice, which furthers the poem's displacement and wistfulness, and shifts in verbs from a wistful imperative to the subjunctive tense. The author points out that the ultimate effect of such writing is perhaps not the seamless reversal of control the speaker had envisioned because the speaker reveals that, regardless of his rewriting of the situation, he is left with little more than words to placate himself. The paper concludes that the ultimate purpose of "La Figlia Che Piange" is to fabricate a scene richer than reality in which the woman does react with emotion to the departure, in which the poet is in control and in which the contrived details satisfy a void in the speaker's experience.
From the Paper
"In beginning the poem with such careful instructions, Eliot conveys an element of focused personal concern, adding a weight to each action. If the poem simply began "She stood on the highest pavement of the stair, leaning on a garden urn," we would not feel the same sense of the poet's desperate attention in arranging the scene exactly as it appears in his mind's eye. To further this effect, Eliot repeats the phrase "weave, weave the sunlight in your hair," reinforcing the personal importance of this detail: the sunlight in the woman's hair is such a powerful image it seems a product of her own doing (thus the active verb "weave"), rather than an incidental effect of the sun."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the life of Ernesto (Che) Guevara who grew up in Latin America and was a witness to the extreme poverty that plagued those within his social order. The writer discusses that as a young man Guevara determined that the most effective way that he could serve his community was to attend medical school and return to assist those that were in need. The writer discusses the issue of poverty among the Latin-American people and Guevara' views in this regard. The writer maintains that for Guevara the capitalistic concepts in place were centered in the United States, a country that appeared to consistently be present wherever Guevara found misery among the people.
From the Paper
"As a young man Guevara determined that the most effective way that he could serve his community was to attend medical school and return to assist those that were in need. Yet, it was not until he graduated from medical school and began to travel throughout Latin America that Guevara soon began to witness the full impact that poverty had on the Latin American people. Guevara's ideals were significantly altered during these travels, as he began to believe that the only people that were allowed to have physicians attend them were the wealthy and that the fate of his people was being determined by capitalistic forces that had no right to destroy lives."

Abstract
Using comparative techniques, this paper discusses the differences and similarities between Antigone, a fictional character created by ancient Greek writer Sophocles, and Che Guevara, a real life revolutionary of the 20th century who helped form Castro's Cuba.
From the Paper
"Antigone is furious and stunned at the action of Creon and she vows to bury her beloved brother no matter what. She sees both of her brothers in the same light and believes that "traitor or not, [Eteocles and Polyneices are] equal in blood" (111, sc.2). According to her, they are both human and should be treated equally. She tries to get her sister Ismene to help her, but Ismene says "think of the danger! Think of what Creon will do!" (34, Prologue). Antigone leaves her behind and goes on with her work. Antigone draws attention to the difference between God's law and human law."
