Essential Question #2

Che wanted to initially become a doctor. Obviously, he had uneasy feelings about becoming a doctor. That is why he embarked on his motorcycle adventure. He wanted to learn more about himself. It is almost your stereotypical way of finding out who you really are, like acquainting yourself with nature, and going on a trip, or any other way of temporarily escaping reality. What Che soon found out was that his trip did not help him escape reality, but rather bring to his attention a devastating reality that his fellow countrymen were facing. The poverty he witnessed was so devastating it tore families apart. This realization of what really was going on in the world around him was what really led him to change his philosophic and moral views and embark on his biggest voyage ever, the challenge of ameliorating the situation of those in need and bringing about revolutionary change, both on a governmental scale and a socioeconomic scale.
