Summary: Fidel Castro died on Friday, 11/25/16 at 10:29 p.m. at the age of 90. Most Cubans are very sad and grieving their loss.They will mourn his loss for nine days. The flag is waving at half mast and alcohol sales were suspended. In the articles it has different peoples stories how he changed their lives. One man said, "We weren't just poor, we were wretched, then came Fidel and the revolution. He gave me my humanity. I owe him everything." Also, hundreds of students at Havana University gathered and yelled," Viva Fidel!" At the end of the article, it gives some historical background how Cuba sided with the Soviet Union. In 2008 when Fidel gave the power over to Raul because he was not healthy, he warned Cuba not to give into the U.S.
Analysis/Synthesis: This article was written by Nelson Acosta and Simon Gardner and it seems very bias. It seems that they supported Fidel, and it tells how the Cuban people are mourning for him. Fidel Castro brought communism to Cuba, and he disliked the U.S.A. , and what it stands for. I'm glad I don't live in a communist country, because I don't believe in communism. The people in Cuba have lived their whole lives with a dictator and don't know life without one. That's why they're really upset about his death. I feel like the Cubans are similar to the Loyalists in the American Revolution. The Cubans supporting Fidel like the Loyalists supported England.
