Montāžas Teksta
- The Irish were desperate for food, moving from place to place, begging for anything edible. Years pass, but the deaths don't stop, Ireland plummets into an all-time low, economically and socially. The year is 1847, known as the Black 47, due to how much death occurred during this year.
- Oh Lord! Have mercy on our souls!
- Though the deaths were relatively high, the British government did try to help, setting up soup kitchens which barely costed a penny to feed the poor, which did help the situation slightly. The starving Irish also immigrated to other countries to escape the famine, such as the Americas.
- Even my mother is dead! This is horrible...I must sneak onto on of the ships to go to somewhere else...I won't survive here much longer

- Over the course of the famine, Britain replaced their prime minister from Robert Peel to Sir John Russel, who did also try to help the Ireland crisis. On a side note, in 1845-the year the famine started-Robert Peel ordered a secret purchase of at least £100,000 worth of corn just to lighten the situation. The timeline of the Great Hunger was a simple one, Britain tried to help using various methods, while the Irish died even more.
- ...And this is my family. It's been years since I've talked to them now...
- So this is how bad the situation was...very interesting..
