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. And finally he wants someone that when delivers the letter does not ask any idiotic questions. Now my five ways to make the best of my John Carroll years. First, meet new people.

Human Geo F Day

Today we were allowed to do homework in class as long as we were silent because two students had to do the test that everyone else did. The only homework I could do was French so I got that done and now I'm blogging. I am unsure if this is what it will be like the rest of the class but I'm fine with it.

This human geo class was fun but yet boring and I'll tell you why. First the fact that we get to go on our laptops and get our blog over with is the plus side. On the other side there isn't that talking or conversing element that gives this class enjoyment.

Mr. Schick try to whistle it out the door while Emmanuel ...

Friday

Today we reviewed what we talked about yesterday and in ancient Greece an idiot was someone who was self-centered. We also talked about the hurricanes and how dangerous they are and how people might have to evacuate certain areas. On the last slide of the excellence presentation was this quote by Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living." This means that if all your life is just go to work, go home, watch TV, and go to bed then why live that life, improve upon it. Mr. Schick really liked the quote.  We also reviewed about the death of Socrates and how he died by drinking poison hemlock. We didn't review the Socratic Method but we all needed a reminder on the synergy between democracy and excellence. Mr. Schick even mentioned a vocab word from English class, extraneous. Today was a very interesting and informative human geography class.
