Essay 2 - Letter to Garcia


     If Elbert Hubbard and Socrates were able to time travel to present time they would be very amazed, and a little angry. They will be amazed on how fast information and how communication is all over the world. They would also want to try out technology.
The American life has changed thousands of ways since A Letter to Garcia was written. For example, we have electronics and new inventions now. Back then, half of the things we have today weren’t even thought about. Therefore their reactions may slightly be confused.
Their anger would be because it was so difficult for Socrates to get a letter to Garcia. If that task was assigned now there wouldn’t be any doubt if it could be done or not. Therefore a lot of emotions and reactions would have occurred over something that has changed over hundreds of years.
