Caminos impredecibles

The was a first hand source found after Cuba revolution in America, the author of  this journal was called Pedro García, his brother was called Kedvra García. We don’t know how this journal got to American, but from the seller, we got the information that Pedro used to be a wealthy guy who experienced the whole Cuba Revolution…

AFTER the Cuba revolution, Cuba business’, especially on sugar, is facing to all the world. For independence, Cuba became a communist country after the revolution, which also helped a lot on reducing America’s influence. However, with out support from the USSR, which lost in the Cold War, Cuba’s voice became little in the world again.

What stayed the same was that Cuba’s economy still didn’t recover from America’s influence, the embargo still exist, and America was still making pressure on all aspects of Cuba, including the economy, military, and politics. Even after improvements made by Castro and all those presidents afterwards, Cuba is still defined as a developing country, trying to catch on the steps of the world.

World on the verge of destruction – Cuba Revolution

“A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle between the future and the past.” — Fidel Castro.

The Cuba Revolution may not seem that thrilling or exciting, but it is crucial for a country to step to it’s future of independent and strong. It is obvious for a lot of countries, we can notice whether it is a colonial country from it’s language, thus, we will notice that Cuba used to be a colony that belongs to Spain. In 1902, Cuba welcomes it’s first turning point, which is when America fought Spain, America took Cuba over from Spain. However, America don’t want this this “delicious” piece of “meat” to go away, so they nominally gave Cuba freedom but made Cuba’s economy greatly depend on America. In 1952, Batista made this coup,  and promised to improve all Cuban’s life. However, he failed, so there comes a group of revolutionaries that wants to do it themselves, and that is how the Cuba Revolution started.

His Choice

The poem found above was taken from “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” written by W. D. Wetherell. This passage shows the conflict between character & himself (two choices), which is the choice losing the bass, or losing Sheila, a girl “I” had a crush on. In the rising action of the story was “I” invited Sheila to a concert, on the way to the concert when two of them was on the canoe, “I” herd Sheila said fishing was dumb. However, “I” noticed that a huge bass was caught by his hidden fishing rod. In the rest of the passage, the author was talking about the mental movement of “me” considering whether to get the bass or get Sheila’s good impression. As a result, which is in the resolution of the passage, “I” chose to cut the fishing line in half and let the bass go when the canoe got to its destination, but also didn’t succeed to get Sheila’s heart. The author at last left a mysterious quote said by Sheila, saying “You are a funny kid.”, which might just meant Sheila had a good time in the concert, but also has a possibility of meaning Sheila actually noticed “I” was hesitating about the bass, and noticed “I” had a crush on her.
