Today in Human Geo we learned and discussed that the message to Garcia was published into the news paper all across the country so it would inspire workers who didn't try their best when they work to do their best. It was also made into a pamphlet and book so employees could give a copy to each worker so they could read it and think about how well they work and wether they are doing a good job at their job. They sold over 40 million copies and translated it into 37 different languages so if you think about it this inspired people around the world to do better at their job which could help small companies do better business and make more money and which could help boost the economies
of the countries. Its was also made into a movie twice which I have no idea how they do that because its only a essay its not like its a story its a inspirational essay. Its also became a popular slang term which is till used in the military to encourage the men to do their best. The back story of the essay was that it was written during the Spanish American war. It was based off the story that the revolutionary leader in Cuba was to be delivered a letter from president McKinney saying that he will help the cuban revolution.The man who was assigned the task to deliver the letter didn't ask any questions and didn't give any excuses on why he shouldn't do it he was given the task and completed it as he was assigned. Now president Mckinney was assassinated 6 months into his second term as president and they named the tallest mountain in North America after him up until 2015 when it was renamed to its native name given to it by the native people who lived there for hundreds of years.
