Argentina

"Okay, but this is how the typewriter interpreted those fleeting impulses raising my fingers to the keys, and those impulses have now died. Moreover, no one can be held responsible for them." (Pg. 31)

This quote reflects Ernesto's voice in the form of Imagery. Ernesto seems to describe and give the reader a very precise and exact image of what is going on. "Those fleeting impulses raising my fingers to the keys," creates an image without fancy words. Ernesto seems to talk in a different way than most people and I'm not sure I can exactly explain it. He uses simple things or examples that hint at something bigger, like his take on life and his philosophy I guess you could say.

"My tired eyes refused to sleep and in them a pair of green spots swirled, representing the world I had left for dead behind me and mocking the so called liberation I sought." (pg 40)

I think that this quote reflects a lot about Ernesto's word choice including Diction, Detail, and Imagery. I think he chooses words that are not normally used in the general human language which makes them pop out at us and creates an image. Some of the words in this quotes are: refused, swirled, and mocking. I think that Che has a very unique way of expressing what he has to say. To me, it seems that he skips around a lot but then goes very much into detail on certain topics. For me, its kind of hard to follow because I like a continuos flowing story versus in the important facts that are necessary.
