Examples of these deuce types of quite a little are shown in the books The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Che Guevara and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.The great Gatsby is a book that is developed by the 1920s in the ordinal one C and it is set in Long Islands North Shore, the book is narrated by incision, a piece who lived next to a mysterious and rich man c altogethered Jay Gatsby, they lived in the west coast of Long Island the less popular one. Jay Gatsby was a boyish rich man with a turbulent past, he was not mother a position in the dressing that surrounded him and nobody k newfangled how he had obtained his fortune. Some pack believed that he had gained his fortune with the illegal sale of inebriant they believed that Gatsby was a bootlegger, Anyway and despite the great parties that he organized for the community of Long Island, he was a lonely man, because he only cute to revive the past in order to be with the whap of his support-time Daisy, who was excessively cousin of notch nevertheless, Daisy was married with the millionaire tom turkey Buchanan with who had a leash years old daughter, Pam, they lived in the east coast of Long Island the most popular one, they were unalike from Gatsby because they were rich from birth, and they had a place in the society of those years. When Gatsby met Daisy he was a soldier of the militia and he was not rich, whe n he came back from the military service he discovered that Daisy was married with Tom and he decided to spend his flavor trying to have specie in order to give to daisy what she deserved. When Gatsby was early dayser he had a teach Dan Cody who helped him to make his fortune as a result Gatsby became rich scarce lonely, he lived in a big mansion and he gave parties atom the only reason that he hopped that some day Daisy come to one of his parties, actually one day Gatsby decided to invite to one of his parties to Nick his neighbor, when nick received the invitation he was surprised and he decided to go just now he did not know that Gatsby invited him with the only reason that he knew that he was cousin of his love inte substitute Daisy, in the party Gatsby met Nick and they became patrons but this friendship to Gatsby had a single-valued function that was to join with Daisy again. Gatsby could achieve his purpose and he could join Daisy with Nick, and they started an affa ir and Gatsby could have what he precious that was recover Daisy but when Tom discovered the affair of his wife with Gatsby, he asked them and Daisy recognized the affair but and she escaped with Gatsby in the car but in the road she hit Myrtle, the mistress of his economize, Tom, with the car and she killed her, and Gatsby in for sure way decided to do not tell anyone that Daisy killed Myrtle because he loved her but Daisy finally decided to stay with his husband because she was a woman of society and also she was very interesting in specie and stability. Gatsby was not a sturdy man but he exhausted his sustenance thinking in how to obtain what he exigencyed, he also did not think in the daughter of Daisy or what will make it with her if her mother escaped with him, he did not care about her and her husband he only was thinking in that he wanted to be with Daisy again, in fact, he spent a lot of money in those extravagant parties in which he did not participate he only watc hed through the windows of the house looking to the people that were in his there with the entrust that Daisy arrived to at least one of his outrageous parties, he was thinking all the time in how to obtain what he wanted in order to be happy no matter how.On the other hand the book The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Che Guevara is a book of notes that Ernesto wrote during his trip with his friend Alberto Granada Ernesto was a young medical student of medicate tired of cultivate and excited to see the world and Alberto was working in a leprosy hospital in Argentinas Crdoba Province, and because of this he and his friend decided to do a trek through South America in an old wheel called the mighty one (la poderosa). The trip took eight months, the travel started in Crdoba and they left Argentina to go to Chile, they arrived in this republic in Osorno spill through all the country to leave it to go to Per they leave this country and then they went to Colombia and finally Venezuel a however they could not finish the trip in the motorcycle because they had to leave it in Santiago, Chile because the mighty one did not work any more. This book shows the trip of these dickens young workforce by the perspective of Ernesto, he wrote all the adventures and things that they did, and aphorism during their trek through South America. Guevaras political consciousness began to stir in this trip as he and Alberto moved into the mining country, Chile. They visited Chuquicamata copper mine, the worlds largest open-pit mine and the primary rise of Chiles wealth in those years. It was run by U.S. mining monopolies and viewed by umteen as a symbol of foreign domination, and also to Ernesto was a symbol of human exploitation. During the trip Guevara also could apply his knowledge in medicine because he helped people that mandatory it for case in Chile he helped an old woman that was dying, he knew that he could not save the life of this woman, but he could stop the pain for a mo custodyt. Passages like this, trade the mind of Ernesto because during the trip he could see that there existed and exist demand people not only in South America but all over the world.His political and social awakening has very a lot to do with this face-to-face contact with poverty, exploitation, illness, and suffering, Internet reference www.nationalgeographic.comGuevara was a good man that changes his mind with this trip and after it he decided to star his line of achievement as a politician and help people, he decided this because of what the saw during this trip, for them all what they were seeing was in a certain way new because in Argentina they did not see aborigines for theoretical account, one thing that earmark the attention of Ernesto and Alberto was the situation when they were traveling through Per and an Indian with his son who speak Spanish approached them and asked them all about the land of Pern, for the inseparables, these two young men came fro m a wonderful country where people could work and have a good pay for it, a developed country. Ernesto was very impressed by the old Inca civilization, riding trucks with the Natives and animals he felt a fraternity with the native people. Ernesto was a good man always worries for the rest, it is obvious why he was studying medicine, and it was during the trip that he made with his friend Alberto GranadasJay Gatsby and Ernesto Guevara were two young men very different in what they wanted or their purposes in life, I think that these two men were not dismal men specially Ernesto who spent his life in order to defend the rights of people. I believe that there not exist so many people that think like Ernesto but in the other hand there many people that think like the Great Gatsby, because most of people spend their lives thinking in how to obtain what they want, I think this is not bad but there are people that do not think in nothing else that how to get what they want and this peopl e sometimes sin of selfish because they do not care if they make some damage to other people in order to have what they want to be happy. One phrase that represents what Ernesto felt after his trip is one that he wrote in his diary that showsI will be on the side of the people I will take to the barricades and the trenches, screaming as one possessed, will stain my weapons with blood, and, mad with rage, will cut the pharynx of any vanquished foe I encounter,Guevara, 2004 Many historians believe that this trip was the most important thing in the life of Ernesto that changes his mind to after be one of the most famous guerilla leaders in report, but nevertheless he was a person that was care about the rest all the time.On the other hand Jay Gatsby was not a bad person but he was always thinking how to obtain what he wanted that it was be with Daisy, in the sixth chapter of the book Nick narratedHe wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say I never loved y ou. After she had obliterated four years with that convict they could decide upon the more practical measures to be taken. One of them was that, after she was free, they were to go back to Louisville and be married from her house just as if it were quintet years ago Im going to fix everything just the way it was before, he said, nodding determinedly. Shell see.Fitzgerald 192554He was so stubborn in be with her that he did not realize that he could damage other persons, for example Myrtle she died because Daisy and Gatsby were running away from Tom, and even Gatsby died because of this. He died because of his coercion with Daisy because of his compulsion in getting what he wanted. Gatsby was killed by Myrtles husband because Tom told him that Gatsby hit Myrtle with the car, also in Gatsbys funeral there were only three people Nick, Gatsbys father and the person that was guiding the funeral although Gatsby always gave partied to everyone none of these people came to his funeral h e was alone also when he died. I think that is not bad fight for what you want but sometimes be too psychoneurotic with something is not good because everything can go wrong. Gatsby was so obsessive with Daisy and all what he wanted that he forgot to live a real life and make real friends.As a conclusion it could be say that not all the people think or have the resembling personality, all of us have different expectations in life, everybody want different things in order to be happy a clear example was shown here with these two characters Jay Gatsby and Ernesto Guevara the first one thought that what he needed in order to be happy was be with his old love Daisy, Gatsby was doing what most of the people do that is look for his own happiness and the assist character Guevara, believed that what he really want to do in his life was fight for the rights of the people he was looking for the happiness of the rest, this is the biggest difference of these two young men nonetheless it coul d be said that none of these two was wrong Gatsby wanted what all want to be happy and Guevara was like few people are that is see and be worry about what the rest need or what are the rights of the rest, however both died Gatsby died because of his obsession with Daisy and Guevara died because he was always fighting for the rights of the people who needed, he was so haunt with this that he nowadays is seen as one of the most iconic characters of the twentieth century, he was one of the most famous guerrilla leaders of history but despite that he died.
