Essential Question #2

Ernesto had wanted to become a doctor so in 1948 he enrolls into a medical school at the University of Buenos Aires. He had a part time job at a hospital but he had to quit and decided to go on a trip with Alberto, his best friend. Before he left for his trip he had "to take exams in as many subjects as possible"(p.33, Guevara). He decided to go on this journey because he wanted to see things through his own eyes. Ernesto Guevara was an adventurer and a dreamer.  On this journey with Alberto, he saw many things that lead up to who he actually becomes. By seeing how the poor people were struggling he wanted to help them and adopted the idea of communism. He had impacted everyone around him like the poor people because he said that he wanted to help them. He also impacted everyone else because they thought he had great charisma. His daughter who wrote the preface in the Motorcycle Diaries thought he was such a great guy and an adventurer.
