Reading Assignment on "Che"
1. Using the link El Cubano Libre write a summary about the three articles.
2. Define Guerilla Fighting? Do you believe that these methods are fair when fighting against the United States?
One year of combat Basically the article talks about the struggle. Che and his people were tying to help peasants but they kept ratting them out. It wasn't until they began to kill the peasants children that the peasants began to support Che. Everyone who was with Che had one similar motivation and it was Cuba. Many soldiers of Che died but the blood they shed was for the sake of the peasants they did not want to be in a dictatorship any longer.
No Bullet in the Chamber Basically this is saying that many people are communist but in denial. The article says that a man who is tired of poverty and wants to go against it is automatically considered a communist. The government hides all of its actions and feeds people lies and of course everyone buys it. Basically what it was trying to say is that every nation is a resemblance of Cuba but in denial.
[untitled] Basically what the article is saying is that the United states is hard to frighten. They compared the united states to a giant they said basically how can an ant make a giant scared. all we do when we try to scare them is tell them "hey our nation is suffering and its your fault" and they basically laugh because they are more powerful because they are the ones that are making the place struggle.
Guerrilla Fighting: Guerrilla warfare was a hit-and-run technique used in fighting a war
do you believe that these methods are fair when fighting the United States? I personally don't think it's fair because the United States will be unaware of whats going on who to shoot at and etc.. but, then again, the united states asks for everything that comes their way. each actions has its pros and cons and if they know the cons will be horrible and they still commit it then they should be man enough to take in all the consequences heading their way.
The One Year of Combat is generally explaining all of the hardwork, blood, sweat and tears that the Cuban revolutionaries were going throug in order to reach their goal which was indeopendence and aiding the peasants. However most of the time they were unsuccessful because of being defeated with betrayal. However they all died with dignity and a cause. The "No Bullet in the camber" is generally saying that the government is corrupt and not reliable and that is the reaxson that the revolutionaries are fighting against such injustice. The article"[untitled] is basically explaining the "pact" that the United States was suppose to have with Cuba. The United States were supposed to help but they are the ones destroying Cuba
guerilla fighting- fighting used in one's own territory. Using their landscape as an advantage
No the guerilla warfare was not fair. I say this because I believe that guerilla warfare is not fair to anyone. If a war is being fought both sides should be familar with a space to make the win fair.
"One year of Combat" article speaks about the tough times that the cubans have been going through. They were set out to reach independence and on their way , they endured pain,was tourtured , and even groups were killed. You can say that peasents werent happy when Che began to kill them. 1st he was set out to help but then they pushed him away so he was on attack.
"No Bullet in the Chamber" article speaks about how the government is in denial of everything. People might believe everything the gov't may say but behind closed doors is what we dont know. this article says that "Those who are fed up with so much poverty and pick up a gun, wherever it may be, are "communists." Those who murder the indignant people: men, women, or children, are "democrats." its basically picking peoples political views by their actions which is wrong.
"untitled" basically speaks on how the U.S is suppose to help the ones they are close to but actually ends up hurting them.
The 3 articles , explains the depths of a revolutionary leader named Ernesto Che Guevara.Article one;One year of combat, which gives a brief detail on the starting of the revolution.The number of soldiers che had on his side when the revolution started, decreased because many of them started doubting the reason of fighting. The main point of the article, are the peasants who didnt believe in the government being corrupted, and that Che wasnt anything but trouble for them n their homes. Peasants started to change their perspective towards Che whe n they realized they dont have to live in poverty they way they are. Article 2, called No bullet in the chamber, shows that people who are tired(peasants), do the less harm to their community due to them in poverty, then the people who are killing the peasants, who are not living in poverty, which occurs in other states other than Cuba. The 3rd Article if shows the concern of Cuba, wondering does America really care about the ongoing conflicts that occur in other places,We are simply reminding them."Reminding the United States of North America that behind the July 26 Movement's army there is a people in struggle," was stated in the 4th paragraph.
Guerilla Fighting are hit and run tactics which are used in war. My perspective on Guerilla fighting, is that it should be allowed due to all the other fighting techniques for example, blockades, TAR, and ect., but no type of fighting is fair especially when it comes to the U.S.
The type of problems che had to face were more difficult than or similar to any revolutionist , the peasants told the govt where che and his people were so it was like leading them to che eventually che got caught but before this alot of people died( civilians and soldiers).independence was thier main goal they did not want to take part in wateva thier govt had planned.
NO BULLET IN .... im not sure but i think this is trying to say that their is no kind of trust in the officials and so che tries to start over and fight the wrong doin but the govt tells the people things that arent true so help is needed from the united states but they are helping the govt which means that they are helping mess up cuba.
Guerilla Fighting is the use of your surrondings to your advantage
"One Year of Combat" Che said that the rebels have pass through enormous struggles including surprise attacks by the enemy and traitors. that the common idea of free cuba was the only thing that motivated them. but them some peasants that has suffer the crimes that the gov't had done decide to help the rebels. they gave them combatants, guides and place were to stay. the rebels and peasants treated each other equally something that the gov't didn't do. they created new armed columns, they fought, they found more traitor, the rebels losse many members but still not giving up.
"No Bullet in the Chamber" what this was saying was that communist was the only evil master mind and that all revolutions are their work. this means that all the poor almost defenseless individuals that are in any way related to a revolution were "communist". but the true was that the murderer who rapes , robs, and demoralizes does innocents peasants are "Democrats".
"Untitled" this article explains how untrue the United states is. the great nation that defend "democracy and free world, backing a dictatorship that is against the will of the people". che say that the rebels can't compare to the US BUT YES, will remind them that "behind the july 26 movement there is people trying .. to fulfill the will of the mass. Freedom or Death."
Guerrilla Fighting is a method of warfare that allows a small group of fighters to destroy large amount of targets without or with fewer casualties. is this method fair when use against US? that the question and the answer is: is the massive US army, navy and air-force been fair by attacking this insignificant people that only recourse is to hit and run? if war was really about been fair than give them weapons technology, food, water, man.
One Year Combat( Article 1)- This article is basically talking about how they spend a year in combat suffering sometimes hunger or sickness. But they believed that nothing will stop them because what keeps them moving is their country CUBA..And that the fact that some of their fighters have been killed wont stop them either , it will not be worthless, this gives them more courage to continue fighting until the end.
No Bullet In Chamber ( article2)-This article is explaining how the media is accusing a certain group to be communist, and not not accepting it. Also how the government tries to hide all the injustices that they commit against others, and want to blame communists.
Untitled ( article3)- This article is talking about the United States not being faithful to its compromises. They were suppose to have a pact with Cuba but they didn't follow it.So, Cubans are saying that the pact existed but the U.S. acts as if it never did.
Guerilla warfare-Jungle fighting techniques to fight a war.
Do you believe that these methods are fair when fighting the United States?- I think that they are fair because every country can prepare themselves as they please to fight in a war.It is not another countries fault that the country they are fighting doesn't use the same techniques.If the u.s uses a technique to fight a war they would think is fair because is the way they are taught to fight.
