Che's Last Letter

Che's last letter was a very moving to read. Che Guevara was a Cuban revolutionary and became a symbol of the freedom fighter. Che became very popular with the college students of the 1960s because of what he was doing and what he stood for. The letter is sad, it starts off with Che freezing under a blanket in the jungles of Bolivia with no supplies left. Although he was pretty much trapped at this point and eventually died in 1967 fighting this war, he never gave up hope and what he stood for. At the end of his letter, he even says that he is dying but isn't upset because of what he had accomplished for the future generations. He was in it all the way and never once second guessed himself. It was because of these reasons that college students and protesters looked up to him and Che Guevara became on the greatest symbols in freedom fighters to this day.
