Here’s the corrected version of the writing
task of PC2. This time my paragraph was at least slightly better than the one
from PC1.
“While there is an obvious connection
between these two items, there are also a number of significant differences.
While the Vikings came to Ireland around 800 B.C. to take land and resources
from the island of Ireland, the Protestant Settlers emigrated to Ireland,
specifically to Ulster, because King James I gave land to them. Still, the
decisive reason for themselves was to acquire land and become richer than they
were in Britain. King James made this
cunning plan in order to bring Protestantism, British culture and loyalty to
the crown to Ireland. He wanted Ireland to be a sovereign part of England. The
Irishmen saw both peoples – the Vikings as well as the Protestant settlers – as
invaders. The significant discrepancy was that the Viking were seen as brutal
killers and cruel rapists, who only wanted to exploit Ireland. The settlers, on
the other hand, did not show violence. Still, the Plantation Settlers were not
accepted by the Irish people either. They did not try to take the Irish land by
using violence, but rather tried to incorporate Protestantism, the English
language and British habits into the Irish culture. They indirectly tried to
persuade the Irishmen of the United Kingdom. Further to that, there were
greater links between the Protestant Settlers and the Irish people. One main
point that connects them is, that they could communicate with eachother.
Although English was not the origin language of Ireland, they had to learn it
because of former invasions by the British. Both foreign cultures have clearly
affected Ireland, but it is clear that the impact of the Protestant Settlers on
Ireland is much bigger. Nowadays, Ulster is part of the UK of GB which was one
of the main goals of King James I and his Plantation Settlers.
