There were various events and people that effected Che’s outlook on life and his purpose. One of the first significant events was him traveling in a truck with native Indians. When it was time to get out and travel a few kilometers in the snow, Che became amazed at how BESTIAL the Indians were. He stated how his feet were very cold despite the “boots and socks” him and Alberto were wearing, and then he looked at how the Indians were completely barefoot, pushing forward with brute force. This made Che realize that regardless of how undesirable his situation might be, there will always be people in suffering from a lot more of INDIGENCE. Che, throughout the book, really seems to notice how fortunate he is when compared to some people only during a DAUNTING task or situation. In this case, it was traveling through the desert. Also, throughout the chapter the Civil Guards played a huge role in his journey. The question arises whether or not Che and Alberto would be fighting for their SUSTENANCE if it were not for the Civil Guard helping them out along the way. Che eventually reached a town where there was a drunk sergeant he was referred to. This ABHORENT drunk bet he could light a cigarette with a bullet, and he offered more and more money until he shot, sending the bartender on a TIRADE to the police station.
Che, however, had an IRREFUTABLE moment of IMBECILITY when he made his drunk speech. This marked a turning point, from where he became a simple INTERLOCUTOR and turned into an individual who stood out in a crowd. Yes, by being drunk he probably would not have rubbed off well, but it marks a turning point in his role in society. When an individual gives a speech, he earns his voice as a person. This was significant because he may be more prone to making public statements in the future, which would turn out to be a fundamentally important part of his revolutionary quest in his life after the book.
On a more sentimental note, an important event was when he visited his stepbrother. This brought up the idea of how, when poverty strikes, some families are a little more IMPERVIOUS than others.
