The Return of the Schick (Star Wars Episode VI.2) (9/6/2016)


            Today in Human Geography our teacher Mr. Schick discussed the values of hard work. We reviewed what we went over with our sub in the last few days. We talked about Aristotle, and how he died. Mr. Schick also asked us to research Aristotle’s trial. What I found by using the History channels website is that Aristotle was actually forced to leave Athens due to anti-Macedonian sentiment. This sentiment was due to the death of Alexander the Great. According to the site, Aristotle died of a stomach issue. I’m not totally sure this is reliable, but the fact that Aristotle died of causes that had to do indirectly with politics and directly with bodily issues (hemlock?) this leads me to believe that there is a connection between the two different stories. Mr. Schick also discussed how he doesn’t think that teenagers are the only ones that are self-absorbed (or Narcissistic) about ourselves. I for one agree with this, although there are the occasional few who are really what the media says they are. As always, there’s an exception to every rule. We discussed the Message to Garcia, and a little about the Spanish-American War. Mr. Schick also went over his syllabus on the class.
