Álainn, which means beautiful in Irish. Even though I haven’t been to Ireland, I have seen pictures, and it is beautiful country.

My family celebrates some of the Irish holidays, but we don’t do any of their customs. I was so excited to learn about the culture and the life of the Irish.
Ireland is such an interesting country to learn about at least for me. The weather there, in Dublin, is nothing like ours, they actually have winter, but we do have plenty of rain. They have mild summers and cool winters. The people that live there are Vikings, Normans, English, Scottish, and a tribe called the Ancient Celts. Also their religion is Christianity. Ireland has a bunch of industries like: manufacturing, finance, tourism, and the primary one is agriculture. People in Ireland must be busy all the time with the amount of crops they grow. The types they grow

They have really cool sports, but their sports are similar to the U.S. Irish hurling is really a combination of the sports we know as baseball, field hockey, rugby, and soccer. Hurling is an ancient game and one of the national sports of Ireland. It’s widely considered to be the fastest game on grass. Oh the holidays, I love the holidays, especially Christmas. Ireland has as many of the same holidays as we do. As it said in the Irish book some of their major holidays are “New Years, St. Patrick’s Day, St. Bridget’s Day, Shrove Tuesday (the day before Lent), and Easter.” “Irish culture is also reflected in a diversity of films such as The Quiet Man, My Left Foot, Michael Collins, The Commitments, and Waking Ned Devine,” says the Irish book. Most of these cultural (norms) are like some of our cultural
The Irish people left Ireland and immigrated to America to enjoy a better life, get away from the poverty and starvation that they were faced with in Ireland due to the potato famine. They face all kinds of discrimination and were forced to take the worst types of jobs, but they never gave up and kept fighting for their freedom. The Irish were brave, courageous, and hardworking and made it possible for all Irish to live happy and free lives in America.

They brought their music and cuisine with them. Some of the food staples included potatoes, oatmeal and barley. The barley was used in the making of whiskey; oatmeal was their breakfast and potatoes (they would starve without their potatoes). They also enjoy soups, beef, and short-bread. The music of the Scotch-Irish can be found primarily in the Appalachian Mountains. The region is ripe with folk songs of the culture. The Scotch-Irish are a clannish lot meaning they would travel with their clans and settle in the same area. (Everyculture) This also allowed the Scotch-Irish to keep their culture intact.
Scotland is a very unique country founded in 843 AD. Scotland capital is Edinburgh located in the east side of Scotland. Scotland Gross Domestic Product is an average of $216 Billion Dollars. Scotland’s official language is English although stated on page 90 of Scotland Enchantment of the world “...Gaelic became the chief language of the land.

When the Education Act of 1872 was enacted, requiring all children to attend schools, English was the language taught in classrooms”. Christianity is the official religion of Scotland “about 54 percent of the Scottish population considers itself Christian” according to page
In the early 19th century many Irish people immigrated to the United States. There were several reasons why Irish people came to live in America. During the American Industrial Revolution, many immigrants from all over, including Ireland, came to The New World to find new opportunities. There were also great religious opportunities from the largely Roman Catholic influence in Irish culture to the various Protestant religions here. All was well and good as Americans and immigrants worked together to expand the railroad and canals in the New England States, primarily New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York (Irish American Journey). In 1819, 43 percent of immigrants to America were Irish (Immigration). In Ireland at the time, most people were farmers and lived off potato crops for
Ireland has always had religious problems between, Pagans, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish people. Ireland has always been a place of interest in English eyes so Ireland was continually concord over and over by the English and the currency, traditions and religions changed with every English King, Queen or Irish Rebel. Between 1641 and 1691 Oliver Cromwell changed everything, Irish Catholics, Pagans and Jews were killed or shipped off to be slaves. The influence to immigrate was very strong, their options were to go to a new world of which they knew no one and had nothing, be killed for your religion, or be gathered up and shipped away as a slave. It was a hard decision they all were forced to
In the ninth century, Vikings began to raid Ireland, eventually conquering and settling on the island. The strong Irish culture influenced the Viking conquerors’ way of life, rather than an invader’s long-term domination would suggest.
While the common people may have been the first to be happy to see William the ‘leaders’ soon followed. Thus we can see while the upper classes may have been behind all the organization of the revolution they were not the only one who were in full support of it, everyone wanted this uprising and felt that the king was tyrannical. As William rode on and his support became more and more obvious from all classes many from the upper classes decided to follow his small army of 12,000, helping it grow. (Trevelyan p. 54-60) James now totally aware of the situation began to have multiple fears plaguing him as he fled to London and his army resentful of him eventually began to join the side of William. As William takes control James, at the end of his mental
Religion in James Joyce's Dubliners Religion was an integral part of Ireland during the modernist period, tightly woven into the social fabric of its citizens. The Catholic Church was a longstanding tradition of Ireland. In the modernist spirit of breaking away from forces that inhibited growth, the church stood as one of the principal barriers. This is because the Catholic faith acted as the governing force of its people, as portrayed in
Dubliners by James Joyce is a collection of stories centered around Joyce’s intentions to write the moral history of Dublin’s paralysis. Although paralysis seems to be the main theme in Dubliners, another motif comes across in the pages of the stories. As if all of the mental, physical, and emotional problems weren’t enough, many of the characters in Dubliners are alcoholics. Joyce utilizes the character of the drunk in many of the stories in Dubliners; hardly a story skips a mention of a drink. The negative effects of alcohol occur again and again through the collection of stories. For the most part, men are brought down by their addiction to alcohol and their inability to control themselves when they are drunk. In Dubliners, the characters seek their own desires, face obstacles that frustrate them, and ultimately give in to their need to consume alcohol. With Dubliners, James Joyce brings attention to the different issues that consuming alcohol caused in early 20th century Ireland using three particular stories; “Counterparts”, “Grace” and “Ivy Day in the Committee Room”.
For a short time in Ireland many were faced with a hard decision due to the struggling with starvation in a time of famine. With this hardship many made the difficult choice to leave their country and seek refuge in the United States. The individual that I interview had family that lived in County Cork, Ireland and they decided to make the journey to the United States in hopes of a better life. Her Grandparents came to the United States through New York and changed their last name by dropping the prefix to make it more American. They moved to Cleveland and her grandfather was able to find work at chief Boyardee to support his family. Many traditions have been passed down from generation to generation. Celebration St. Patrick’s day was always an important day for this family. This was a time to eat traditional Irish food, music, and Irish folk dancing. The catholic faith is very important aspect of this
