            Today in Human Geo we listened to a couple different stories about a message to Garcia. All the stories had a important message within the text. They took place during the Spanish-American war which was fought in Cuba. Garcia was somewhere in Cuba at a unknown location. A message was to be to him. The messenger took the message without any questions, went to Cuba, and after three weeks delivered the message. What this story is trying to say is that there are people of there who are not lazy and will do whatever they have to to get the job done. The other stories were about people who would ask a bunch of questions and want to take men with him. That's saying that some people just don't want to do what there told. A example who be a person who take the message but hands if off to someone else and takes the credit for it.
