Pablo Milanes

Andres Reynaldo is against what Pablo Milanes stands for politically. It seems to me that Andres Reynaldo thinks Milanes is contradicting himself when it comes to his political views. He opposes American influence in Cuba but praises Castro and how he takes away most of Cuban’s basic rights. Milanes is a juggler of oppression because he wants to be revolutionary in Cuba and is in advocate for freedom in Latin America but he backs Fidel Castro in the policies he makes and Castro stands for an oppressive government. I think the reason Barnet y Milanés comparan Che Guevara con un poeta because the poet writes the poem and gets to have a say on how things are, Che Guevara uses being a political figure that he uses his power to control how life could be like for the Cuban people while him being a part of the revolutionary movement in Cuba. Son de Cuba a Puerto Rico is about how Puerto Rico fell and got taken for a territory for the United States. Cuba will always support Puerto Rico but the country is disappointed that Puerto Rico is now under the control of the United States. The reason I think Cuba feels this way is because Cuba and the United States has never really been allies. The theme of Pecado original is two men who love each other.
