Dear Mr.Castañeda,

 

My name is Marcia Quezada. I have just finished reading you’re book on the life of Ch Guevara.

I would like to start in saying that I you’re book inspired me to read more about the politics that are happening in Latino America. It also inspired me to pursue a career in Political Science once I finish my High school studies. The reason I read this book was because I have always been curious to know who Che Guevara was. No one ever did tell me who he was because many people have a negative aspect of him. One day I was at the public library here where I live and I saw you’re biography and I picked it up. Then coincidently in my English class a few days later we were asked to pick a biography of any person that we like and keep a journal/log and record our observations that we picked up as we read our book. I must say that this is the first type of book that I have read that is on an adult level, so it became somewhat of a challenge but I finished it. I wanted to know how long it took you to acquire all the specific information on Che to make such a detailed biography on him. After reading you’re book I have more of a sense of who Che is and what an icon he is too many Latinos around the world.

Señor. Castañeda le quisera dar las gracias por tomar el tiempo para leer mi carta. Me imagino que usted pasa muy ocupado en sus clases con los estudiantes en La Universidad de Nueva York. Pero Me encantaria si me podria mandar una respuesta.

Otra ves le quisera dar las gracias por inspirame para querer saber mas de politico Latino. Hora en estos dias hay muchas pocas personas que hacen esto y lo hacen de una manera illustrida como usted. No solo como escritor pero su persona al igual.

 

                                                                        Sinceramente,
