Message to Garcia

   In class today we read an essay "A Message to Garcia". It was about how when your given a task you should complete it. You shouldn't have to ask questions or put it off no matter how strange or hard the task is. I don't agree that the message applies to today. The essay mainly talks about the fact that men do most of the hard work. Presently women and men can both do hard work. On the other hand I did agree with the essay. People in our generation are lazy sometimes and try to get out of doing things. While reading the essay I ran into some words I didn't recognize or understand. The word traversed means to travel across or through. Also the word Dowdy means unfashionable and without style of appearance. And Shipshod means characterized by a lack of care thought, or organization.
