Che and Alberto are loners, plain and simple. Their despair to find shelter wherever they can truly proves that they are doing what they set out to do. Although Che did not state his purpose of taking this journey at the beginning of the book, one can infer many things. Yes, I did see the movie. But no, that does not mean anything. Alot of books are totally different than the movies. It is obvious that both Che and Alberto were obviously craving some sort of adventure after years of sitting in classrooms. Both Che and Alberto, according to Che's quote at the beginning of the book, have similar aspirations. Alberto wants to sleep with as many girls in as many different countries as possible. Che wants to see how the other halves live. Close enough, right?
Although I can ony say this because I saw the movie, there is one particular part I am anticipating to read about... the part where they meet the miners and live among the indigeounes people.In the movie, music and images were so powerful. I wonder if Che's words will be powerful enough to bring about the same emotions.

You mentioned that you had seen the movie as well. In what ways are the book and movie different? Is it contextual, or emotional. I often times find the book more appealing to the emotions while the movie is strictly for visual purposes.
