Abstract
Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the international revolutionary, and Eva "Evita" Peron, Argentina's influential First Lady during Juan Peron's first term as President, are perhaps the most recognizable Argentines of the 20th century. Che's bearded, beret-wearing image leaps out at every protest demonstration, whether it is a sit-in for higher wages, a walk for the cause of peace, or a fiery protest against international trade talks, while Eva Peron has become an unofficial saint in the country of her birth, apart from being the subject of theatrical musicals and a Hollywood movie. This essay compares and contrasts the lives and times of these two enduring icons whose legacies transcend borders and generations.

From the Paper
"The early lives of Che and Eva are a study in contrast. Ernesto was born in a middle class family and received his early education from his mother and a father from whom he inherited revolutionary literature and a hatred of the "left fascist" dictatorship that existed at the time in Argentina, "capitalist oligarchy" and the pervasive influence of "American imperialism." Ernesto, however, is not known to have indulged in student politics in his early life and concentrated instead on becoming a doctor by pursuing his medical studies at the Buenos Aires University. His initial interest in medicine was focused on understanding his own infliction of Asthma that later branched off into study of leprosy "the first indication the young doctor was concerned about the sufferings of the poor and the suffering.

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
The paper explores "Che" Guevara's trip through Latin America as recounted in "The Motorcycle Diaries", his Marxist ideals and his role in the revolution in Cuba. The paper looks at how these events served to shape how Guevara saw himself and how others saw him as well. The paper also points out that Guevara's death was confirmed by empirical observation but his popular identity continues to be developed through the use of famous photographic images and his legacy continues to be reinforced by people in search of heroes today. One of the most famous photos of Guevara is included in the paper.

Review and Analysis

From the Paper
"The popular identity of Guevara that emerged following his death has been powerful in shaping popular thought in a number of countries. For instance, Benavides-Vanegas reports that throughout the majority of the history of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, the central square has been designated the Plaza General Francisco de Paula Santander, in recognition of the contributions made by this leader of Colombia's independence movement in the 1800s. Following Guevara's death in the late 1960s, though, Colombia students increasingly rejected this appellation in favor of one honoring Guevara."

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
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."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the lives and ideas of Rigoberta Menchu and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. Both are/were leaders of populist movements, but each brought his/her own perspective to the task of working actively for political change. In studying two narratives of their lives, "The Motorcycle Diaries" and "I, Rigoberta Menchu", the reader learns that their ideas and their actions stem from the profound experience of injustice that both encountered in different ways - Guevara on a motorcycle trip around South America and Mench through the experience of life as an indigenous person in Guatemala.

Abstract
The United States feared the creation of "one, two, many Vietnams," as Che had proposed, and thus had to kill Che to set an example for the rest of Latin America.

Abstract

From the Paper
"During the 1950s, he traveled throughout North America on a motorcycle along with one of his friends. This book gives a detailed account of his journey. They explored almost all of the North America on an old fashioned Norton motorcycle. During the journey they faced a lots of hurdles, experienced some memorable moments and went through lots of hassles. As they traveled through different parts of South America, they met a wide range of people belonging to considerably different cultures and having significantly different attitudes. A couple of years after this wonderful journey, Ernesto Che Guevara became actively involved in the Cuban revolution and soon emerged as a left wing militant. He was always in a habit of writing down the major events of everyday in a diary. "The Motorcycle Diaries" is in fact a collection from his diaries that he wrote during his journey on the motorcycle. This book is a good source of information about the South American environment."

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
The paper relates Ernesto "Che" Guevara's views of travel, that everyone should have the right to not only travel freely, but immerse oneself in the very essence of the culture and situations of the native inhabitants. The paper discusses how Che's view of travel as a freeing and learning experience is completely contrary to the American view of travel in the post September 11th era. The paper describes how Americans perceive travelers as suspicious individuals that need to be consistently monitored and constrained. The paper argues that America needs to change its views and reduce restrictions, since by limiting what travelers can actually see and treating them with hostility and suspicion, America is actively losing supporters on the international stage.

From the Paper
"Che's understanding of travel is to that it not only allows for one to have reckless fun, but more importantly it opens up your eyes to the all of the multitudes of manners in which people live their lives. Throughout his journey, he did not only try to receive a surface level understanding of the places that he went to, but rather delved deeply into every aspect of life. In Chile, he goes and visits a woman dying of tuberculosis, and is appalled to find the failings of the public health system that prevents the woman from receiving adequate treatment. He receives a tour of a copper mine and finds out the stark reality of deaths that occurred to make it possible. He even goes as far as to visit a leper colony and live among their inhabitants. Che's view of travel is that everyone should have the right to not only travel freely, but immerse oneself in the very essence of the culture and situations of the native inhabitants."
