In the Motorcylce Diaries, Ernesto Guevara starts off as a normal med-student, who is close to getting his degree. What happens during his journey that changes him so radically? Several scenes that are shown to begin this change. One of the most important scenes is the campfire scene. As Ernesto listens to the Native Americans tell of their hardship, struggle, and need, it is obvious to the audience that a change is coming over him. Another important one is when they go to the mines with the Natives. He sees their treatment and the injustice first hand. When Ernesto arrives to the leper-camp, he learns that he is capable of helping others less fortunate than himself. And when he swims the Amazon, he realizes that he can do the "impossible". He knows that if you fight hard enough for an idea, it, and you, are unstoppable.
Some main differences between the United States and the Spanish speaking world are that in South America, dance is an extremely important form of celebration. This is demonstrated by Ernesto going to several other countries and most, if not all of them, use dance in their festivities. Dance is used in some mini-cultures in the US but not very many.
