Interpretation of a Message to Garcia

After reading the short passage "A Message To Garcia", I can interpret that the main ideas of the passage which was written over 100 years ago still perfectly relate to how it is today in modern day society. In the passage the narrator argues how people back in Cuba over 100 years ago were lazy and didn't want to get their work done and they didn't go the extra mile to get things accomplished and how they didn't take risks and always had an excuse or a reason to not get the job done. This perfectly relates to how most people in modern day society are incompetent and unwilling. In the text when the narrator made the inference of how if a boss had asked his worker to take the message to Garcia they would ask multiple questions and try their best to get out of having to take on and accomplish this assignment given to them or to pass it on to someone else in a very unwilling way. Then their is the real workers like Rowan that without complaint will take on the assignment head on without question and will bust their butt off to get it done. These people like Rowan are the ones that will strive to achieve excellence and will be successful because they will not back down and they will work hard to get their work done and finished as quickly as possible. The people in life like Rowan that take the initiative head on and will get it done as efficient and perfect as they can possibly accomplish are the people who won't struggle with life, but the people who will rise above and be prepared for any issues and/or conflicts that happen to encounter them. These hard workers are the people who inspire the younger generation to strive of the greater things in life and to work hard without complaint and will be dedicated to that one job as if it was the only thing they have going on in their life.

Martin Luther

Today in western civilization class with mr. schick we talked about Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a very smart man and his dad made him go through law school, which were pretty sure he was not in agreement with, but he did it anyway. One day on his way back home, Martin's horse chariot was struck by a lightning bolt. Luther thought he was dying, so he made a plea to God that he will forever worship him if he helps keep Luther alive. Shortly after this spectacle, Luther became a monk and devoted his life to worshipping the Gods.

Cleisthenes and Isagoras

Today in human geography class with Mr. Schick we learned about the historic events in Greece when Isagoras and Cleisthenes were at uneven terms. The two leader has many hardships and they were following up the banishment of Hippias. The two political figures had various views.  Isagoras was the horrible tyrant whom everyone disliked. Cleisthenes was the political leader who was loved by everyone and was the favorite to be picked. For no apparent reason, Cleisthenes was not picked in the end and ended up getting ostracized by Isagoras out of Athens. Later on, Isagoras was revolted against and was thrown out of office by the citizens of Greece, he was then ostracized for good when Cleisthenes was later elected into office.
