Something that I think both readings, "The Police Band" and "Che's Last Letter", have in common is emotion. "The Police Band" is more about how the band had emotion and created emotion; whereas, "Che's Last Letter" you could feel the emotion that she was creating when asking the youth to help make a change. That also created an emotion as me as a reader. It motivated me and got in interested in what she had to say.
I think "Che's Last Letter" was more effective. She gave a lot of feeling by adding in detail of what her conditions were like, which is a condition no one would want to be put in, then leaving the reader feeling sorry for her. After she asks for the youths help, she then creates and points out the perspective as a youth. She proposes questions that we would have directed toward her. She asks us to put aside any negative feelings and to do what we know is right. The line that struck me as very powerful was, " For a revolution, in order to be a true revolution, must be a world revolution." and I totally agree with that. For there to be a huge change in a society, we need one another and other resources and peoples help and cooperation to make a change and make a difference. I only wish that we could realize this to change what is going on in our society today.
