The Cuban Revolution had left lasting marks in the hearts of Cuban citizens. It was a journey of fighting corrupted oppression and battling for a higher quality of life. This is the journal of an ordinary sugar farmer named Luis. His and His family’s lives were remarkably unpleasant because of the former dictator Batista Fulgencio and his scandalous government. Luis staggered through many difficulties, from surviving through starvation to several inner conflicts where he fought against his will.
Throughout the story arc and the Cuban Revolution itself, numerous things were remolded. Cuba no longer holds trade with the U.S. and Cuba had no political and economic dependence on the U.S. Cuba was also largely dependent on the Soviet Union for trade in the sugar industry as their relationship with the U.S. broke. Just as Luis mentioned in his last journal, the overall health of the Cuban population had also progressed significantly since the start of the revolution, and his children got the right to receive education.
However, Cuba was still dependent on the sugar industry throughout Batista and Castro’s regime, and the Cubans had limited freedom of speech. As questioned in the last few paragraphs, was Fidel Castro’s violent uprising worth it? Was he a dictator, or a hero? What is the difference between his and Batista’s government?
This is the story of Luis.
Wow so good
