The Irish Potato Famine was caused by an airborne fungs called Phytophthora Infestans. This fungus came from the ships traveling from North America to England and was wafted on the Irish fields (mainly along the countryside of Dublin) by a fog.

Explanation:
William Shakespeare, born in England in 1564 and died 1616, was an English writer who became known as the father of English literature. Through his many poems, plays, comedies, tragedies, dramas, etc, Shakespeare showed his enormous ability and his deep interest in expressing, through writing, his reflections, perceptions, observations and ideas on different issues of everyday life. Among the many things Shakespeare was known for, was his use of different language techniques to establish a difference between not just his ideals, but also people that he wrote about from his time. In particular, he tended to use a combination of prose and verse in his writings and used them to set differences of hierarchy, social status and even intelligence, especially in his characters. Thus, it has been known that Shakespeare usually used prose when his lesser characters, those who were lower-born and less educated, spoke, acted, or thought, while he used free verse for higher-born and more educated ones. This is because verse was more complex, it had rythm and meter and it established social status, and level of education, which indicated a higher birth, and thus, it was understood, these characters were better prepared for the use of such complex language.
