BLOODY SUNDAY

GOAL : BLOODY SUNDAY

 

 

WORDS OF THE DAY translate

A   MURAL ( une fresque) 

You have to see both sides of the coin = you have to see both sides of the argument 

A   passerby ( un pieton) 

Retaliation = a vengeance

to retaliate = to get a revenge 

 on the other hand = on the flip side ( d un autre côté)

a thorny issue ( un problème épineux)  

 

 

 STEP 1 A DEBATE republicans versus unionists 

 THE CATHOLIC SIDE 

 we share a culture so we should be united 

we have lived under your control / your thumb and we resent that . All the more as you do not care about us . case in point during the famine when you let us die .We live in a democracy but you betrayed us .We demand equal rights  after years of religious persecution.We have to stop fighting over nothing and we are the victims here.

THE PROTESTANT SIDE 

we have supported you financially for centuries so you should at least be respectful.WWe regarded you as being selfish while we should be united .You expect us to solve your problems and you are not even thankful. All these conflicts are something of the past so let us turn a new leaf.We provided you with good services and protection while you bombarded us and killed us via the IRA.religions should not divide us .Thus let us look towards the future and unite.
