A Message to Garcia Essay


 "A Message to Garcia" is an essay that was written over 100 years ago but is still relevant today.  It talks about how people are too lazy to do what they're told. Here the author, Elbert Hubbard shows how when Rowan was asked to deliver the message to General Garcia he did it right away. Hubbard was comparing Rowan to everyone else who claimed it was too hard to take on the task. Today it's a lot worse as some people complain about having to walk to another room to get something. The author was stating that the world needs more Rowan's. By that he means, people who are willing to do any task they're given without complaining. Today people are lazy and too tired to even do the simplest things so I definitely think we need more Rowan's in the world to push us to do more things.
I agree with Elbert's view on the situation. People need to be asked multiple times to get something done and still won't do it. By pushing them to get it done we as a nation can achieve a lot more now and in the future.
