What first caught my ...Thanks so much <b>to you all </b>.<br /><br />What first caught my interest was the coincidence - as I saw it - of the boy outside with the gun and the younger boy inside with his soldiers. The fact that everyone seemed to meekly obey Che's mute instructions also fascinated, for I could find no reason to explain it. Finally, of course, the unexpectedness of him knowing about Che - and seeing him as a hero. (Which is where, I guess, I show my naivete!)<br /><br />Between you all you picked up all the threads that had intrigued me - and the odd one that I had missed - and also came up with some tentative explanations, so again, much thanks. It is so rewarding to get a response like this.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-20177796377960499822013-04-07T11:08:15.933+01:002013-04-07T11:08:15.933+01:00Your precise description about boys tells me what ...Your precise description about boys tells me what it would like...quite different from girls' world.
