Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard's "A Message to Garcia" was an essay about doing what you are told without asking questions or procrastinating. In his essay he told a story about a man named Rowan who was given a letter to give to Garcia and no one knew where he was. Rowan landed off the coast of Cuba in four days and went into the jungle. It took him three weeks to come out on the other side and having delivered the letter to Garcia. He did all of this without asking where Garcia was or any other idiotic questions. Elbert Hubbard was saying that moat people are lazy and probably wouldn't do what Rowan did, which a lot of people still say and can relate to today. I am sure my parents can relate to his essay too because i sometimes don't want to do my homework or do my chores and just want to stay in bed. Elbert Hubbard wrote his essay about people like me who don't want to go the extra mile and earn extra credit or wait until the last minute to do something and in some ways i think he is right in what he is saying.
