One very significant part to this section was Alberto and Che's realization of the Chilean Hospitality. Che and Alberto kept seeing all of these people that were very poor but were so generous towards them. They were suffering because of their, "...uncomfortable Yankee friend" (Guevara 89). I think this impact was one of the key reasons Ernesto was molded into "Che". He stated, “Chilean hospitality, as I never tire of saying, is one reason traveling in our neighboring country is so enjoyable. And we made the most of it.” (Guevara 58). This comfort and newfound love for the "natives" began to grow. He became motivated and wanted to help these people of Latin America. This part of his journey was a turning point, internally. He was discovering purpose and he was ready to put his political ideals into action. He was ready to show his communistic self and was realizing how he wanted to make a change and his desire to create change grew immensely. The picture above is a beautiful painting of the people of Chile. The other picture is of a helping hand and that is what I feel Che began to lend after this part of the book.
