60/175
The Motorcycle Diaries
Ernesto "Che" Guevara




Ernesto is a young man, who has wavy, black hair and usually has a mustache. He is a doctor along with his friend Alberto. It was when they got fired that they decided to go on that long journey to United States of America. I think this is just proof of his personality; a laid back guy.

He doesn't seem to plan very well. He and his friend just got fired and they think they have enough money to travel a long distance? And to add on, they planned to go by motorcycle. And it is just one for two, full grown men. It is not even a decent one. They had many issues along the way. Tire goes flat, screw gets loose, etc. Also, many times, on the hills, they took falls that overtime damaged the bike. As well, they didn't plan that well; they stay in parks, beaches, friendly people's houses, and some friends they happen to bump into. "In  the kitchen of the police station we were sheltering from a storm unleashing its total fury outside." (Guevara, 53)
