A Message to... you?

Elbert Hubbard wrote A Message to Garcia in 1899, but parts of it could be considered timely and topical even today. In this essay, he ranted about people who don't work hard, and raved about people who do. In short, he ranted about excellence.

Section 102, you were presented with some background information on Hubbard in class today. Your blog assignment for tonight is to write your own essay in which you describe your interpretation of A Message to Garcia. Perhaps you may address some of the following themes: taking initiative, incompetence, excellence, and inspiration. Consider how (or if) this essay speaks to you as you begin your high school career. Write a good, thorough, descriptive essay, and proofread it well before you publish it. This assignment is due before midnight tonight for Section 102, and the essay can be found to the right of this post under "Links That Don't Stink."

Section 101 and honors - you will get your turn tomorrow.
