In class we talked about the story a message to Garcia. I learned that it was published in 1899 and sold 40 million copies.it was so popular they made it into a movie twice. the setting is during the Spanish American war. I also learned about the characters involved in the story. Garcia is a revolutionary seeking Cuban independence from Spain. Rowan is an army officer. McKinley is the president William McKinley the 25th president and was assassinated by an anarchist. I also learned about words I didn't know that where in the story. Perihelion is the point when a planet is closest to the sun, and therefore at its brightest. Slipshed means careless ,lackadaisical, slapdash, remiss. Imbecility means incability, feebleness, stupidity. Stenographer means a person who takes dictation in short hand. Missive means a letter, especially a longer official one. Message is doing the right thing without being asked. Lastly, I learned about the word arenta which means excellence of any kind, moral virtue, fulfillment of purpose or function, the act of living to ones full potential.
today class was pretty easy. we went over the terms about the independent states. we went over what each of the topics has to do with and how they can be different in different areas and what makes an area a State. they are important things for the State to be a good place to live and an easier way to live. it is also helpful because it can help you learn a lot about a State. also we learned and started a project about the type of government and there government leaders. tis can be helpful with understanding and knowing more about how countries are. this is because we can see how the government is run and it is helpful to know who run these countries.
