Write a final reflection about what you have learned about Ireland. Anything that will remain in your memory. It can be just a word or a type of food or explaining a fairytale character or story. This can be in bullet points. What are you taking from this class?
I really learned a lot in this class. Before I took this class all I knew about Ireland was that Irish has a British accent, but even that was wrong. It was shocking and so sad to know that Ireland had a hurtful history like Korea did. I really enjoyed watching movies and looking at pictures about Ireland. But Irish accent was so unique, so I had a bit of a hard time understanding what the actress and the actresses were saying. The movie I liked the most was Once. I never knew that the movie was took in Ireland. Even Ireland is always kind of wet and rainy, the atmosphere was so beautiful and the songs were so great. It was a movie that I could see the recent Ireland. I really enjoyed learning about Irish food also. I love potatoes so much so it was a joyful time learning about Irish food. I can't just wait to go to Itaewon for trying some Irish food. I really enjoyed the class when we made Sheperds pie. I will try it again by my self. I think having a chance to learn about a different country and a different culture is a great opportunity. At first, all I new about Ireland was, it is in Europe and it is close to England. But, know from learning in this class I learned so many good things and informations about Ireland. So when I meet an Irish person I will be so glad to talk about Ireland. Furthermore, I really want to visit and travel Ireland someday. Thanks to my lovely professor Sarah for a great class♥ XOXO

Assignment 7
From the trailer and also from watching the movie Once, what can you tell about Ireland, the accent and vocabulary, the landscape and bulidings, and the economic and immigration situation.
First, Ireland has a very strong accent. Much more stronger and different from the British accent. Irish poeple use some specific words like brilliant, grand, cool. From the movie I can see that Ireland has a very wet weather, almost every day raining. The bulidings and houses are very colorful very different from Seoul. I also can see that there is a economic gap between the rich people and poor people. They move to the big city like London to success.

Assignment 5
Reflecting upon the movie "Into the West" and class discussion, what can you tell me about Irish gypsies? (Way of life, history, modern day, derogatory names, etc.)
Gypsies are having a very dirty and poor life. They almost have there own horses which they ride for transportation. Some gypsies lives in flats, but the flats are not the ones I had imagined. Children plays with crushed and ruined cars. They also go out to the street to beg for money. From the movie I could see the economic gap between gypsies and normal Irish people.
I really enjoyed the movie. It was a sad movie but from it I could learn alot about the life of gypsies.

Assignment 4
What can you tell me about these two Irish fairies:
When I was young I learned about leprechauns. But, the only thing I remember is that leprechauns wear green clothes and has orange hair and beard. I also remember that people can find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and leprechauns only know where the golds are. In the movie we saw in class, leprechauns were kind of mean. I thought they were cute but there were actually tricky and greedy.When a person finds a leprechaun they can have the chance of making three wishes. Leprechaun makes the wishes come true by using there magic power, but as we know he is a tough character to deal with.
I never heard of banshee before so it was my first time seeing banshee through the movie. As I researched, I found out that banshee is a female ghost who is a women of death. In the movie, I saw banshee very shortly so I don't have many things to say. Banshee takes away peoples spirits by her carrige and she has her own sound WOO.
