If you start from scratch (they probably aren't), you want to get food, water, and shelter. not a new language. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210254 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210254 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:50:44 -0500 I can't imagine how hard it would be to make your own language. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210253 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210253 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:48:55 -0500 Like how the irish are finding positive outcomes from the famine, Which I think goes along a lot with the title of this section. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210242 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:19:13 -0500 It is crazy to see how a disasters, could kill over half a country in four years, Which could be compared to covid, it has been in the USA for almost a year and has killed 200,000+. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210226 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210226 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:13:34 -0500 They didn't necessarily die, most probably left, but a big major probably did die. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210212 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:10:22 -0500 I kind of agree with megan, but I think it was a way of saying starving, which could be why the guys grandfather always brought a slice of bread with him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210194 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 09:07:30 -0500 since the large amount of irish immigrants, I wonder if the irish population in britain is more than the british population? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210154 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:59:08 -0500 Since no one was aloud leave, I wonder if they sent supplies to the town, or just left the irish to fend for them selves? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210121 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210121 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:53:02 -0500 I wonder if that 300,000-500,000 also left with the people that left for america? https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210112 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210112 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:49:53 -0500 Why did only a quarter (I know it says either died or escaped)? I feel like if your whole country was starving, more than about a quarter would leave. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210076 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210076 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:25:38 -0500 I think it was a famon, and the Native Americans help the irish during the famon, and now it is tradtition to thank the native americans https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210019 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243022?scroll_to=2210019 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 08:25:38 -0500
