Third Day

Today we listed to and took notes about an essay. The essay was about a person named Garcia. Garcia was hidden in the forests on the island of Cuba during the American-Spanish War. The President needed someone to find Garcia (I don't remember the name of the person, so I'm going to call the person "the guy") and the guy offered to do it. When he accepted his job, he didn't ask any questions. The rest of the essay explained how humans are only doing the minimal amount possible, being lazy, finding loop holes, complaining, or putting things off. The guy was the perfect example because he didn't complain and just did exactly what he was told to do even though no one knew where Garcia was hiding. We were talking someone "getting the boot" when the stool got kicked in the classroom. We had a class discussion about how the story is relevant to us starting high school, going to college, and beyond. Day three of Human Geography is complete.
