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.
Fantastic title to this blog!
