Second Week

Today in human geography we went over a message to Garcia and talked about excellence and how to be excellent. We also talked some of the more advanced words in the story. We even talked about an ancient Greek word that basically means excellence. We also spent a lot of time talking about what we will do next class which will be to Google different things that were related to what we talked about today. Mr. Schick gave us a PowerPoint presentation but we didn't copy everything just certain things. He told us specific things, only one slide we copied down everything. That was mainly what we did today but I'm really excited for my next human geography class.

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. Such things include cutting down trees, bulldozing, and getting the materials to actually make the buildings or homes.  We also checked to see where our belongings were made. Mr. Schick told us that Apple actually designs their devices here in the U.S. but manufactures them in China. I could only find where my composition notebooks were made and they were made in Vietnam. We learned that many places are important because they are accessible to other places. 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. Today was a normal human geo class.

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. Second, follow directions. Third, go to John Carroll events. Fourth, don't bully anyone, and l...
