Learning Processes Entry #4

In reading this chapter from Takaki, I found myself thinking about one of my other classes that I'm in this semester. Its kind of ironic that we just had a lesson on the Irish Potato Famine in my Human Geography class. However, this was a nice timing of events since I found that Takaki focused so strongly on the Irish adaptation to America and the comparison of themselves to the slaves that he neglected to tell the full story of how the Irish Potato Famine originated. Because of this, I found myself referring back to my notes for my Human Geography class in order to better understand Takaki's conclusions.
