The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, was a pandemic that devastated Europe in the 14th century. It is estimated that the plague killed between 75 and 200 million people, which was about 30% to 60% of Europe's population at the time. The Black Death had significant social, economic, and cultural consequences that shaped the course of European history.
One of the most immediate effects of the Black Death was the massive loss of life it caused. The plague spread quickly and was highly contagious, with a mortality rate of up to 50%. It struck indiscriminately, killing people of all ages, classes, and occupations. The loss of so many people in a short period of time had a profound impact on society. Many families were left without a breadwinner, and there was a shortage of labor as a result of the high mortality rate. This led to a rise in wages, as people who survived the plague were in high demand.
The Black Death also had a significant economic impact. The plague disrupted trade and commerce, as people were afraid to travel or trade with infected areas. This led to a decline in the production and trade of goods, which had a ripple effect on the economy. Many businesses and industries collapsed, leading to widespread unemployment and poverty. The plague also led to a decline in the population, which reduced the demand for goods and services.
In addition to the economic and social consequences of the Black Death, the plague also had cultural and religious implications. The plague was seen as a punishment from God, and many people turned to religion for solace and hope. The plague also led to a shift in the balance of power between the Church and the state. As the Church was seen as the only source of comfort and salvation during the plague, its influence grew, and it became more powerful than ever before.
In conclusion, the Black Death had a profound and lasting impact on European society, economy, and culture. The loss of life, economic disruption, and cultural and religious changes brought about by the plague shaped the course of European history and left a lasting legacy that is still evident today.
My Left Foot
Christy Brown was born a victim of cerebral palsy. Christy Brown was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a time when not much was known about it. But much of my lack of engagement with this book came from the language he used and the way the story itself was told. It's such a touching narrative. Watched it again this month, and I cannot fault this film.
Brown the same thing. So even though I've watched the movie way, way back worth watching btw My only grievance? And so he achieved a good life through his talents of writing, poetry and painting, and that the brought the money that made his life and that of his mother that much easier. Having been born with cerebral palsy this was the only way he could express himself. The other is to have great strength of character yourself and maintain it when all around you see only your disability, not your glowing intelligence, talent and determination to live a full life. A pretty harrowing yet intriguing, informative, down to earth and sometimes, paradoxically uplifting account of Christy Brown's struggles with Cerebral palsy, back in the days around 1940s by the sound of it when it wasn't well recognised or known about. Christy' nin şansı annesinin desteği kuşkusuz. It really makes you think about life and health and in a different way.
Let me start by saying that my review and rating is for his book, not his challenges and accomplishments. It does make it harder to mark a book as only "okay" when it is a story of amazing feats that have been attained, in spite of one's trials. He used his left foot to This autobiography was the basis of the 1989 film My Left Foot. My teacher also reviewed this book, and she said something along the lines of, "He told. Writing is all very well, but there are some emotions that cannot be conveyed, that cannot be 'felt' through the written word alone. The only problem with a mid-life autobiography is the lack of ar the next time you complain because you got no shoes take a look at the man on the next stool the man has got no feet, no toes to play the blues Dale Watson's cautionary song would've made a decent epitaph for Brown, whose autobiography chronicles his struggle to compensate for the one thing he lacked: a body that obeyed him. I couldn't help but feel that I was simply watching the words pass by on the page, as opposed to falling into the actual story.
. They do not seem to be ashamed of their brother, went for a swim and helped father with bricklaying the house. I listened to the audiobook produced by the BBC, through Listening Books. The ending was too abrupt, and left me wanting more. I really enjoyed reading this book, as it has so much depth in it. I agree with some people that it was a wee bit long at certain points, but I still loved it.
Watched it again this month, and I cannot fault this film. We hear, in Brown's own words, what he was thinking and feeling as he remembers growing up with cerebral palsy. The story is well —known through the film starring Daniel Day-Lewis, but the book is well worth reading and Brown writes honestly and with some humour. It was later turned into an award winning film. Boy, what he went through in life? So she began to do it herself and they then took over. A very good story, well written. By now there were distinct signs that he had something wrong with him.
A must read for them who are pushing for quarter-life crisis in their late twenties. Başarısı ise bu desteğin verdiği cesaretle olağanüstü çalışmaktan geçiyor. Also, what I really liked about this book, compared to the other memoirs? Combine the flourish and floridity of Dickens with a lad from Dublin trying to write about his life and you get the picture. I would recommend this to anyone who works with special needs children or adults, because it helps people to see that even if someone's body is uncooperative, their mind can still be quite clear. The story is obviously one of struggle and persistence and there are also some good descriptions of family life in Dublin in the 1930s and 1940s.
The final pages tell of Collis reading the first chapter of the book to the audience at a fundraising event. That's what I wanted to say: huge respect, Christy, seriously. Luckily, he had the three most important things in the world: a good brain, an iron spirit and a loving mother. In the epilogue, the doctor describes Christy's condition in medical terms. He discovers that he can control his left foot and toes. Then it happened when one day he picked up a piece of chalk in his left foot and unsure what do next.
Christy Brown died in 1981. Well, we all know the book is almost always better. I had to stop reading it a few chapters in and in hopes it wouldnt effect my leaving cert. Again, I wanted him to elaborate on pieces that he choose to keep much less explored; I had hoped to know more about his mom and her unwavering support of him. That is the reason why the importance of expressing yourself is raised in this book as a theme as well.
That and seeing a woman he liked, is what helped him carry on. I was actully getting very frustrated while reading it that I just had to put the book dow I just didnt like it. I think growing up with my Dad and his sister whom I rarely saw having choreoathetosis from birth, this awareness is ingrained in me. Yani sorunun her iki şıkkı d Christy' nin şansı annesinin desteği kuşkusuz. In this moment, Brown had found a way to express himself since he could not speak like a healthy child.
