I wonder how the experience of the famine relates to the experience of COVID. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210220 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210220 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:12:20 -0500 How awesome! https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210210 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210210 I think this is so cool that they were able to do this for a group of people they never knew and would never meet. I'm not sure I would know how to raise $20,000 if I had to! Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:10:17 -0500 I wonder if this was because more people moved there from the other areas or if people there were less impacted by the famine and were able to reproduce. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210200 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210200 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:08:15 -0500 I looked it up! The Hungry Grass is an Irish myth that says there is a patch of grass that is cursed. Anyone who steps on it gets cursed with hunger that they can never satisfy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210195 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210195 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:06:56 -0500 Different experiences https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210155 I wonder how people who survived the famine in Ireland view the ones who chose to leave. Were they viewed as heroic or cowardly? Did it start disagreements? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:59:32 -0500 What was this war about? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210149 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210149 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:57:11 -0500 "Cordon Sanitaire" meaning https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210146 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210146 This is a French term that basically means that people couldn't leave a certain area so that they would not spread a disease. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:56:34 -0500 Other impacts? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210141 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210141 If they were only restricted to a single area, I wonder how that impacted the way that other British people viewed them. Did that cause them to be viewed as less important or valued? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:55:11 -0500 This section shows how the Irish who survived the Great Famine were able to have positive impacts on many places in the US and Britain. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210110 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210110 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:49:18 -0500 Good thought! How did the rest survive? What toll did that take on them in the long run? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210084 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210084 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:22:16 -0500 So true! I wonder how this would impact other areas of life, like the economy or ways of life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210077 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210077 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:23:08 -0500 Connection to the Civil War https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210069 The Irish are trying to escape something hard in their home country, so they go to the US. However, around this time, things are heating up and leading to the Civil War in the US. These people have to go from one hard thing to another. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:15:18 -0500 Do you think it was a positive interaction or negative? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210010 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210010 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:06:49 -0500 What role do you think the Native Americans played? Was it positive or negetive? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210009 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210009 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:19:55 -0500 What do you think this will be about based on the title? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2209922 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2209922 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:27:43 -0500
