Today I was one of the the few people to take the test. It was pretty easy test I just had trouble answering the two questions. When I came into class even though I wasn't In the class for like any of the class I still got to listen to a good conversation about how the earth and about how you flipped the map or globe around Antartica was where Canada is and America was flipped around. Also, if you launched a rocket ship into space you would be at the bottom of the earth and you would only see the continents that were on the bottom then you would see more of the continents the farther you got from Earth.

A Message to Garcia

In this passage we learned that there was a guy named Rowan who had to deliver a message for the president so that the letter can get too Garcia. He did it and he did it without any complaining or whining that it was hard. Then there was a stork clerk in the town where when Elbert asked him to look up people in the encyclopedia the store clerk didn't want to do it he thought it was too much work. Its a lot like today there are very few people who actually did their job all day and all the time and there is most of the world where they are lazy and try to get out of doing the job. Thats why most of the time he wanted to punish them because they were lazy doing their job.

Population

Today we talked more about the population of the whole world. First we talked about the different types of rate such as  crude birth rate, crude death rate, rate of natural increase, and Net Migration Rate. Crude birth rate is number of births per 1000 of the population which is the opposite of crude death rate. We also learned that the rate of the natural increase is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate and this gives us the annual natural g rowth rate in percentage form for  country or region. we also learned about Net migration net which is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. Finally, we learned that an excess of people leaving the country is net emigration and the people entering is net immigration.

Letter to Garcia

Today we talked more about the Letter to Garcia. This passage was reprinted into a book and a pamphlet which sold 40 million copies and was even made into a movie (twice). It is even used today like in the military "take message to Garcia" which means take initiative. Also, We learned that when President McKinley got killed there was the tallest mountain named after him but was sadly taken off in (2015).  We also learned that back in the day stenographers used a technique called shorthand writing where they could write down thing very quickly when said to them. They even use it today in court so they can hear the words being said and write them down quickly. Finally, as I said before Elbert wanted more people who were like Rowan and who got the job done immedially.
