Carry a Message to Garcia

In "Carry a Message  to Garcia" a president wants to send a letter to a man known as Garcia. Yet the president doesn't want an incompetent person writing and/or sending it, he wants someone he knows will get the job done. In the story he finds a man named Rowan, who was sending the letter but didn't know where to deliver it. After that they learn that General Garcia is dead, but other Garcia's remain. He restates the fact that he wants someone who could act promptly and do the one thing he asked for, deliver a message to Garcia. he wants them to ask questions some which consist of "Who was he?", "Which encyclopedia?", "Where is the encyclopedia?", and many more.

Situation

Today we talked about situation which is the location of a place relative to another. It's important for two reasons: 1 finding an unfamiliar place and 2 understand its importance. We also talked about what places need to do to add homes or other buildings.

We even talked about trade and how it is through Singapore and how their trade goes through the Strait of Malacca and how it's a major passageway for ships coming from the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.

He became a priest because on his way home during a thunderstorm he was struck by lightning and vowed to be a monk. The first college he went to was the University of Erurt, and he hated it. He thought that it was a place for partying not a place for partying not learning. He also went to law school per his father's instructions. He was very angry with the ways the church did things through indulgences and he had a list of complaints and problems with the church called the "95 Theses." One of the theses on the paper said that the church is so rich but they take money from random people to rebuild churches. So he started the Reformation, a bunch of reforms, and eventually had to leave town with the name Junker Jorg. After one year he came back and people followed his teachings. They were Lutherans.
