TMD Preview

- The book we are about to read is considered a 'travel diary.' In terms of writing style, what do you expect from this type of book?

I think that we can expect to see a lot of choppy sentences and description. Because this is a memoir type of writing, I think there will be less symbols and deeper meaning, and more just saying what happened. This book will consist mostly of stories about the travels.

- Based off the clip, 180 South, your research, the preview, and the timeline/bio you looked over, what are some of the major issues you expect to read about?

An issue that I think we will see is destruction of the environment. In our research we saw that South America is plentiful in natural resources, but most of the countries were beginning to allow big companies take over their land. Most of the governments in the time period were not very stable. Through this we know that we will see some overthrow of the government. Through the preview we know that Che travels to many places. The climate and terrain of these areas vary drastically. I think dealing with the weather will play a large role in the story.

- How will this differ from the previous 2 books we've studied?
In the two previous books, we had to read for deeper meanings and symbols. This book simply tells what happened so we will probably not see nearly as much of that. The other 2 books were fiction, meanwhile this one is based on true story.
