Chile


While staying at the fire house, Alberto and Che got to go help put the fire out. "The flames hadn't reached a small part of the house and from there came the whimper of a cat who, terrorized by the fire, just meowed and meowed and refuse to escape through the small space left, Alberto saw the danger, and measuring it with one quick look, lept over the 20 cm of flame, saving the little endangered life for its owners." pg 65

I think that this experience is kind of like the strong helping the week which, in my opinion is what socialism is. I also think that people work for the good of the people and Alberto risked his life to save the cat's life and kept the owners from losing even more than their house and all of their belongings. Although this may not have changed his views greatly, I think it shows sort of where Che came from. I also think that maybe the cat could be looked at like the general population whereas they might have an escape route from the problems they are in but it would take a brave soul to come and save them from their misery.
