I think that Luke's connection is very insightful and creative. After thinking more about Luke's words, it is easy to see the similarity between the ideals of Guevara and Marquez. Marquez says, "A new and sweeping utopia of life, where no one will be able to decide for others how they die, where love will prove true and happiness be possible, and where the races condemned to one hundred years of solitude will have, at last and forever, a second opportunity on earth." On Guevara's journey, he sees the poor people of Latin America who are mistreated by the rich. For example, there is a farmer who was expelled from his farm by the landlord immediately after the crop was ready to be harvested and all the work was done. This is an example of the oppression and restricted freedom that Marquez talks about. Also, it is similar to how the banana farmers come into Macondo because they take over the town and restrict the freedom of the inhabitants.
