traveling around the world

In pages 137 to 156 we read that Kapuscinski was very ill and that he was eaten by the worst disease of all loneliness. "More devastating than malaria, or amobeas, fevers or contagion is the disease of loneliness, the disease of the tropical depression." Pg. 137- 138. In my opinion people feel lonley and depressed when nothing is propspering in the sorroundings. I also think that people mood affect you in some way. When you sorround yourself with happy people, that joy would be passed to you, but when everything around you is desolated, you will feel the same way.

We also read about how Warsaw was very worried about Kapuscinski. They didnt want him to saty there and wait for a tragedy to end up with him. Kapuscinski stayed though, continuing with his adventures, and to be able to finish waht he had once satarted. " I kindly request, I read in the telegram, that once and for all oyu put an end on these exploits, that could end in a tragedy". Pg 141. I personally think that kapuscinski did the right thing with continuing with his journey, tht shows that he was a commited person, who once he started something he would end with it.

Kapuscinski traveled to South America. He arrived to Chile, and he describes the city and its sorroundings, the way that people live, and how different things are. He also talks about Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia. He narrates about the market place on Quetzaltepec, about a frien of him, Pedro Morote in Peru, about a bolivian sargent who shot Che Guevara, and the old indian in the Mexican desert. I really like the way this author writes and apasionately describes the places he visits.

I am really liking the book and I am enjoying the way Kapuscinski writes, making me experience many emotions like suspense and intrigue. I look forward to see what other places he is going to visit, and waht other adventures he is going to live. I am also intrigue to see if he is going to visit Colombia.
