Today Human Geography defiantly kept my attention. We read "A Message to Garcia" by Elbert Hubbard. This story was about a man named Garcia who was a general in hiding during the 1800s. Garcia needed a message sent to him but no one knew where he was except for a man named Rowan who knew some information about Garcia. When Rowan was asked to deliver the message he didn't ask any questions he just went and got the job done. The point of the story is that Rowan delivered the message without any hesitation and was determined to get the job done when most people would question the job and probably would want someone else to do it. This shows that back then people were more determined to get their work done weather it had to do with their job or school and nowadays people are more lazy and slack way more. While discussing this story if someone answered the question right then Mr. Schick would give them a doughnut and at the end he gave everyone a doughnut but i didn't take one. With the few minutes left in class we talked about plagiarism and how serious it is. I am looking forward to see what we will be doing tomorrow in class.
