"A Message to Garcia" What I Think
So... "A Message to Garcia." In, "A Message to Garcia," Elbort Hubbord is trying to make a point, that point being... he does not care for the adolescent. In his short, three... no, not even, two and about two or three tenths of a page story, the main character/person is trying to sent a letter to someone in cuba, but the thing is... no one knows of his location... The character Rowen travels to Cuba in search of Garcia but he is totally clueless as to what he is doing. Then someone points out a book keeper that would surely do it but the man says he would most likely stop at about four saloons on the way to town, and by the time he would get there, he would have already forgotten what he was doing. Than the main character remembers of a fine man that could do it but the only problem with him is that he would say "Why don't you take it yourself." I think Elbort is trying to express that most millennial population can tend to be Forgetful, Distracted, to Shy, Clueless, and that most tend to Backtalk people. I do agree with Elbort on some of these traits even though I am an adolescent figure as well. Most kids these days are to distracted with their phones, its hard for me right now that I can't pick up my phone right now and watch YouTube like I did all summer. But he and other people that hate the youth have o remember that they too, were once a young figure that did what all other kids do.
I get two impressions from your posting, Aiden. First, you like to write. This is great to see, especially since you will be doing so much writing over the next several years as you work your way through high school and college. But also I see a bit of sloppiness in the writing. If you can get in the habit of proofreading before you hit Publish, you will catch errors in spelling and capitalization, and you will also tighten up your writing and make it more effective. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of your work this year!
