Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:15:54 -0500 Weird connection that isn’t really related to what we’re doing but I had to say it https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210229 I’m not sure why, but this reminds me of the Cheese Touch. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:15:04 -0500 What this war is about https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210223 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210223 I’m not sure, so I’m going to take a guess. Maybe the Irish and The Native Americans were fighting over land? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:13:09 -0500 That’s true Charlee https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210217 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210217 Thats a good one. Just kind of all of 2020 is something like that. Wasn’t there a year a while ago that had a lot of natural disasters, or did I make that up? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:12:08 -0500 COVID-19 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210199 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210199 When I read this, I immediately thought of coronavirus. Just think, ten years from now are we going to completely forget about Coronavirus? I don’t think so. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 10:08:36 -0500 Connection of the Potato Famon https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210191 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210191 A few years ago, I remember doing a project on The Potato Famon or something. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:11:25 -0500 Date of written https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210188 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210188 I was thinking this article was written a while ago, but then I heard COVID-19. I wonder what year this was written? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:40:37 -0500 ? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210159 What does melancholy mean? I’ve heard it before but does anyone know what it means? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:11:16 -0500 Survivors https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210147 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210147 This just shows that the people who survived the Famon (which probably wasn’t very many) are very strong people. (Or just rich) Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:10:12 -0500 Connection to lesson https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210124 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210124 During an in-person class, I think it was science when we watched the video of the population dropping and going up. I remember we did a whole lesson on that, where we looked at graphs and things. The Famine is probably one of the reasons the population dropped during this time. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:58:12 -0500 That’s true, it still could be a positive interaction. Maybe they just don’t especially trust the Native Americans yet, and they need to be sure their people are protected? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210117 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:51:25 -0500 Connection https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210111 This reminds me of natural disasters. I hear on the news during hurricanes and tornadoes, everyone evacuates and leaves behind their homes. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:17:00 -0500 Connection to COVID-19 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210096 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210096 This reminds me of the coronavirus, because right now we all have to stay enclosed in a space. I guess people do/did that for different reasons other than a virus. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:53:02 -0500 Edit to prediction https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210081 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210081 This kind of makes me think that it’s not a positive interaction between the Native Americans and the Irish if they created police forces? Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:53:53 -0500 Maybe they shared food or something so it was a positive interaction? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210014 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:07:57 -0500 I think it’s about the Native Americans and the Irish meeting during a food shortage. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2209994 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2209994 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:06:49 -0500
