A message to Garcia

A message to Garcia, was a letter that was written in 1899, that was sent to Garcia in Cuba. This message was a rant that was spread all over the world, such as places like Japan and Russia etc. This message was given during the time when Spain and the United States were fighting. Back then generals had to communicate with each other by telegraph or letter, but general Garcia was unable to be reached  by either of them. Everyone said to the President of Spain, if they needed a man to deliver the message they should pick Rowan. Therefore, the President picked Rowan and sure enough after being in the jungle for 3 weeks, Rowan was able to deliver the message to Garcia. What was so amazing though, is that he didn't ask any questions or complained about anything, he just did it. Finally, after being shown how a clerk would complain about getting encyclopedia,but Rowan doesn't even complain about delivering a message, it tells us to live our lives radiantly and with the highest of expectations.
