Today in Human geography class we first took roll to see if everyone was there. Then he started reading to use this book called "A message to Garcia" . It was about this guy who had to send a message to a Spanish army general during the Spanish American war in Cuba. In the book it was saying how some people don't listen to others and they just do what they want. And the other thing was that some people actually do what people ask you to do. Like the guy in the book that sent the message to the general , as soon as they asked him to do do it he took the message and left. I think Mr. Schick read this to us to show us how some people are today and to teach us a life lesson. That is what i think the story is trying to show us.
