Everyone always seems to think I meant to cut off their tails on purpose! I would never do such a thing to a helpless creature. You see, I was going out to the garden without my glasses on because I could not find them at the time. I needed potatoes for the potato salad I was making special for my husband. I had about five potatoes when I reached down to grab the last one and it in my hand! It was a mouse. In my dismay I threw the mouse down and started running away! There was two of them chasing me down to my house. I was so scared when I got to my house I locked the door even. After I was done almost having a heart attack started to cut the potatoes for my husbands potato salad. I got to the sixth potato and I cut into it and it moved!
The concept for this script, in its simplicity, was wildly creative and holds true to the popular phrase, “be careful what you wish for.” The writer really did a great job of keep the reader engaged in the narrative with the unpredictability of the wishes and the Josie’s escalated involvement with Stan’s character.

I was coming back from school, Once I got home I went to the bathroom to have a bath. All of a sudden, There was a baby hippo in my bathroom!! I got so surprised that a random baby hippo was in my bathtub, that I slipped and fell. After, I got up I thought it was a dream but no the hippo was still in my bath. The first thing I did was try to get that stinking hippo out of my bathtub, I tried pushing it out, scaring it, I even tried to tickle it. But none of my strategies worked. In the end I just got tired from doing all those things. Who knew a baby hippo could weigh so much. Then I looked at the time and I noticed it was 5:45 my parents were coming in fifteen minutes!! I got so scared to see their
Greetings , I am Omelette. I will tell you a tale of my younger self. I was in my dwelling in Chez Omelette. Bernardo was humming a song by Selena Gomez as he always did before the dinner rush. I was studying for my Algebra test, curse the Pythagorean theorem! Then I heard a loud clatter, I ran into the kitchen and saw a short comedic man with a mustache resembling a moose in a cheese grader, and he was holding a large bag, “must be the delivery guy.” I said. So I put on my waiter outfit and started serving the famous cheese omelets.
The Great Potato Famine was a problem that did not only cause starvation and disease but a drop in the economy. Known as the greatest epidemic of the 19th century the Potato Famine will have forever made an impact on Ireland. The Irish were damned from the start with little to no assistance from England with the exception of what they could get for themselves. With laws restricting the grain trade and no regulation on other goods Ireland had no fighting chance to make a turn around. With England living off of the principle “Irish property must pay for Irish poverty” Ireland was in need of outside assistance and that is exactly what many countries came to do.
The Great Famine of 1845 With 3 million either gone or dead from the island of Ireland, 1845 was possibly the most painful year in its history. It was also obvious that something was afflicting Ireland, with the smell and sight of the crops. Death rates grew high, and immigration even higher during this time period of the famine. The Great Potato Famine of 1845 had a massive effect on Ireland in population decrease, the reactions of the people, and effects it had on the future of Ireland. One of the biggest, and nastiest, effects of the famine was population decrease.
The Great Potato Famine was an event that drastically affected the lives of the Irish in a bad way. This paper covers the history of the potato, the migration of the potato blight to Ireland, land consolidation, and agriculture laws in Ireland. Also, the food exports in Ireland during the time of the famine, potato dependency, and the relationship between the Irish and the English at that time. Now let’s give you some background knowledge on the potato.
The Great Potato Famine is characterized as one of the leading disasters in Ireland’s history. It began in the summer of 1845 with the appearance of an unusual disease growing on potato crops throughout various parts of Europe. With the spread of this disease, it soon targeted Ireland consuming the major crop of potatoes. The famine began by this mysterious disease that hit many parts of Europe during 1845. This disease known as the blight was caused by a fungus known ‘phytophthora infestans’. Prior to the blight, two main diseases known as ‘curl’ and ‘dry rot’ attacked Ireland but were not as destructive (Kinealy 33). The blight was known to be originated from South America through cargo ships that were transporting goods to Europe. The fungus was carried over through the potato leaves which soon would spread to the actual potato leaving the potato black and rotting with a rancid smell arising from it (Kinealy 30). The fungus would commonly feed on healthy potatoes and quickly decompose of it. With the hit of the blight and many others causes Ireland as a country was threatened. This was the first time that Ireland was hit this hard with “Western Europe’s worst modern peacetime catastrophe,” people were dying from diseases and starvation, and others try to find safety in Britain and the United States (Newsinger, 1).
The Great Potato Famine occurred in Ireland beginning in the mid 1840’s to the late 1840’s and early 1850’s. This outbreak was caused by a fungus called Phytophthora Infestans. At the time of this outbreak occurred the potato was a staple in the diet of one-third of the Irish population. This outbreak caused many Irish citizens to immigrate to places like the United States of America. But among those that were not able to leave Ireland were the farmers and the other Irish citizens that could not afford to emigrate to another country and they also relied on the potato as a source of food. Most of these farmers and other citizens totaling 25% of Ireland’s population at the time died either of starvation or disease.
The Great Potato Famine was a huge disaster that would change Ireland forever. The people in Ireland were extremely dependent on potatoes and when the blight came the economy went down. When the fungus attacked the potato crops slowly crop by crop throughout Ireland, people began to lose their main source of food. With the people in Ireland’s huge dependency on the potato, people began to starve or get sick from the potatoes. No one had any food to eat. The potatoes were black inside with molds through out it that came from the fungus from something in nature. The weather that brought the blight also was one of the causes because they could not control how the weather was bringing the fungus. Ireland was under the British government and did not help Ireland when they needed Britain. The aftermath of the Great Famine was not only a huge drop in population, but emigration, and much more.
Pollan has a few positions regarding the nature that the potato satisfies and its connection to politics, production, and his own personal life. His view regarding the desire that the potato satisfies is compared with the idea of the sublime. Pollan states that the sublime is “mostly a kind of vacation in both a literal and moral sense” (184) and that nature itself is a counter to that. Agriculture can be described as a method of control of nature (in this case, particularly with genetics). Thus the potato (and its representative, the NewLeaf) are introduced as the manifestation of our desire to control. Pollan states that his personal reasons for growing the potato are not so much because he wants something out of them as much as it is an experiment to decide whether or not the NewLeaf potato is actually worth growing. In industry, Pollan states, there is a “long, complex and…largely invisible food chain that links us to the land.” Genetic crops are an integral part of this chain according to Pollan, as a large amount of the fields that grow crops are genetically modified.
Pulling my thoughts onto the blank page to no avail, I felt as if my imagination had departed. I stopped and recollected my desires, which I've yearned for. Then it hit me. A flash of energy surged through my veins I had the power to finish what I had started. The characters, the environment, the taco stand with the creepy guy with a suntan, I could write it all down into one beautiful story and feel victorious.
There is no doubt about it; the potato has to be the most versatile food. How many other foods are eaten regularly for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Let’s learn about his cousin of the tomato, eggplant, and pepper.
Potato is grown in every part of the Rajasthan state. Total area under potato crop is 2412 Hectares with a production of 27797 tonnes. Bharatpur region has the maximum area (1442 ha) under potato crop. Sri Ganga Nagar Region is the second largest region of the state for potato production.
Potatoes have a popular use in fast food, like French fries, tater tots, hash browns etc. Potatoes can be found in any supermarket, and in many different parts of the world. The Potatoes was actually the name of a short-lived anti-bullying club at Lincoln. What a lot of people don’t know is where they are from, how they grow, and what they are.
