Columbia and Venezuela

1- "as if everything solid melted away into the ether, eliminating all individuality and absorbing us, rigid, into the immense darkness."
-This excerpt depicts the feeling of equality among all people so that everyone is the same fighting the same battle in the same struggle.

2- "I could only see what seemed like the spark of his eyes and the gleam of his four front teeth."
-Che describes the man as faceless in the darkness as if he was the darkness or the inner most fire within the people.



3- "The night, folding in at contact with his words, overtook me again, enveloping me within it."
-Che is overcome by what the man says and becomes in an instant consumed by the man's fury as if everything he had done so far had only changed him minimally and in this moment he was transformed into the night, or darkness within the people.

4- "I steel my body, ready to do battle, and prepare myself to be a sacred space within which the bestial howl of the triumphant proletariat can resound with new energy and new hope."
-Che describes his body as a place for the soul of the revolutionary bound poor to dwell, as if he is entirely committed to spending the rest of his time on earth fighting for revolution.
