to the United States. According to Country Meters, and World Meters, the current population of Ireland is 4,824,604. While the United States is 325,127634, making the U.S. population over 300,000,000 times larger than Ireland’s. Also, detailed in Potato Goodness, potatoes were originally introduced…

Stanley Fish wrote Getting Coffee Is Hard to Do, to talk about how hard it is to get a cup of coffee today. It used to be that when you wanted a cup of coffee you went into a nondescript place fitted out largely in linoleum, Formica, and neon, sat down at a counter, and, in response to a brisk “What’ll you have, dear?” said, “Coffee and a cheese Danish.” Twenty seconds later, tops, they arrived, just as you were settling into the sports page (Fish, n.d.). He then continues on to say how the…

recognized that every other family ate mashed potatoes on this day too. A lot more butter and sour cream goes into our mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving and in this case, that is why they are special, but in reality, it was just another day and just another potato. The biggest difference of mashed potatoes on a normal day and mashed potatoes as a celebratory item was that Thanksgiving gathered my entire family together to enjoy both sides of our culture. Thanksgiving cooking became a lot more…

I planted the potato plants, went back every morning, and evening to water the plants. A month has past and I have full grown potatoes in the ground, but today I noticed that there was holes in my garden which someone has been taking my potato plants. At this point I was really mad. I made a plan to see who has been taking my potatoes, I was going to go to the garden at 10:00PM…

In this experiment, we set out to determine the osmolarity of a potato. In order to do this, we placed potato pieces in seven different solutions of varying sucrose molarity. First, we weighed each potato piece to obtain the initial weight, shown in Figure 1. Then, we split the pieces vertically before placing them in the cubs containing the sucrose solutions. In each cup was a solution of sucrose with a molarity ranging from 0.0M to 0.6M. After placing the potatoes in the cups, we allowed them…

potatoes were strictly responsible for many deaths, that alone would not have killed millions as the famine did. English protestants were technically the properties owners renting their land to Irish peasants to grow plantations on, but as soon as the potato infestation struck, they kicked the Irish planters off of their property. The Irish could no longer grow their crops, which put them at an even greater disadvantage. The English protestants could not be stopped from doing this because it was…

From 1845 to 1852 the potato famine in Ireland caused great despair and panic throughout the country. As a result, one must ask the question, why did such a large number of Irish people died during the great famine of 1845? Conflict over the high death toll during the famine existed, because of the different perspectives of the Irish and the English. Although individuals suggest that the high number of deaths was a result of the famine because of disease, and hunger, a closer look at the…

An essay on plagerism Think back to the first time you ever heard of plagerism. In depth analysis of plagerism can be an enriching experience. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to the upper echelons of progressive service sector organisations, whom I can say…

the potatoes sit for a few days. The potato in the freshwater solution was soft and sticky, it could be easily squished it also had a bad scent because the potato had gone bad. However, the potato in the saltwater solution was firm and had become more narrow than before, it did not have a scent like the freshwater potato did. The solution that caused the potato to change the most in circumference and mass, was the saltwater solution. In the data table the potato in the fresh water had a starting…
