Targeting the people

Che's Last Letter probably grasped the attention of America's youth because he relates to them. He writes, "My thoughts turn to the young people struggling for a chance at life in the bowels of plastic America cut off from the lifeline of human existence" Che' writes that just like the youth of America, he is in a similiar situation. He takes the place of "hero" though because instead of being "cynical," Che is fighting for his beliefs. He implys that he is superior because he is not afraid to die; it is better than going back to being "a respected professional in a system I detested." So, what's the message here? Don't act like you believe something, don't conform to societal standards, but prove yourself moral and worthy by joining the fight for a revolution. As Che implies, the fight will not be easy but well worth it. In order for success, Che calls for a "world revolution," and if he can do it, can't everyone?.... His message is effective because it targets emotion, and credibility, and allows the youth of America to question their own actions.
