Argentina

Pg. 34
Che describes the ocean as "a confidant, a friend absorbing all it is told and never revealing those secrets; always giving the best advice - its meaningful noises can be interpreted any way you choose." Che is very conscience of nature and commonly refers to nature to represent his innermost thoughts and feelings.

"After an eternity of trakking through deep mud we recognized the stream flowing out into the Carrue, and almost immediately the trees disappeared and we reached the flat. The huge figure of a stag dashed like a quick breath across the stream and his body, silver by the light of the rising moon, disappeared into the undergrowth. This tremor of nature cut straight into our hearts. We walked slowly so as no to disturb the peace of the wild sanctuary with which we were now communing." Pg. 49

Che takes a scene about running into a horse in a field and turns it into a vivid live scene with a very dramatic awe inspired tone. The description of the horse dashing like a quick breath, silver by the light of the moon in this wide open field is very striking. The word "tremor," shaken to their core, dramatizes the scene incredibly.
