conference post

after the conference, it became clear to me that my work needs some revision,mostly combining elements already w/in the paper. after revision and reworking my reference page, along w/ references for the script and touching up on the slideshow, this semester is pretty much already over.

homework

Given what i have learned about my subject thus far, i can confidently say to my audience, whomever my audience may be, that if you'd like to be audience, to quote che guevara: "If you tremble indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine." if i were to expand upon my project, it would be what is going on with it recently? how close are we to lifting the embargo? i'd have to use newspaper articles and information on legislation that could be passed. hopefully, i will find out that people are beginning to wake up and see the embargo for what it is.

image analysis

this is the about the last image in my blog (one on top)
"Che Guevara Familia" 1963 "Oficia de Asuntos Historicos del Consejo de Estado de Cuba. wikimedia.org
This image captures Che and his family in black and white, so if you know nothing about the man, the image conveys that he was a family man. They are all on a couch, Che in the somewhat-middle, with his children all on top of him, and they all seem to be happy. If it were to be looked at differently, you still can see the intensity in his eyes, suggesting that there was something on his mind, or that they all aren't smiling big, suggesting that the family was worried, but mainly that this was a man who loved his family and was loved in return. They look to be in a living room in a decent house, probably in Cuba in you knew the history of the man. The picture was taken from wikimedia, who got it from a historical office from Cuba, so it seems pretty legitimate. There are no restrictions on this picture, so it's open to the public. As balance and all those terms, this was a family photo meant to capture the moment, not to be deconstructed artistically, but on that note, it seems to be a well-rounded photo.

slideshow idea

Since you cannot talk about the Cuban Revolution without mentioning Ernesto "Che" Guevara, my slideshow will be a short biography of Che's life, more importantly, his revolutionary years working w/ Fidel in Cuba.
