Socrates on WWE? 9/7/2016

Today in Human Geography we went through a PowerPoint with Mr. Schick. This PowerPoint went over some of the things we already learned, and added some new things to the bank of knowledge as well. First we went over the finer details of A Message to Garcia. Apparently A Message to Garcia was so popular that it went from a short story, to an extremely well known and published book. Originally handed out as pamphlets, it eventually turned into a 37-page book. That’s an incredible amount of stretching, and I don’t think even I could accomplish something like that on a paper. Eventually, ‘take a message to Garcia’ became a well-used household term. A Message to Garcia was also made into a movie. Twice. We even went over vocabulary that was used in A Message to Garcia; some words being slipshod and imbecile. After reviewing that, we went on to Socrates. We went over some of the Greek terms we learned, and talked about Socrates’ background. Socrates had quite a bit under his belt, being a stonemason, what would have been WWE standard material in his day, and even being a ‘heroic’ Peloponnesian War veteran. Socrates apparently had his meeting spot for his followers right outside the local agora, in a workshop.
