Jessica's Comments on Angelas Ashes

MC Studies Assignment for Angela's Ashes


1. Frank's childhood is miserable because family around him dies like
his two twin brothers and his little sister and his grandmother
and his lover. Also because his dad was constantly drunk and they
were poor and hungry.
2. The technique McCourt uses to create a distinct voice is he puts his
opinions out in the open. His voice in Angela's Ashes is verybold and strong.
3. McCourt's experiences in school was that he enjoyed it because he
loved reading and writing. He also liked his teacher.
4. McCourt's father, in my opinion was a selfish drunk because all
the money he would get he would use on alcohol for himself
instead of using it for food on his family. He views him as he would eat in the morning then walk to school with frank and then come home drunk at night.
5. During McCourt's childhood, his mothers presence was always there.
You can tell she was mostly sad or depressed throughout his childhood but no matter what she was always trying to take care of them and was always there for them, unlike his father.
6. Angela's Ashes is uplifting despite the sad situations because
Frank finally made it to America after all the years of savingand working for the money to go. He produces hope through his writing by saying good things to come and things like that.
7. It views that American people are rich and its just a great place to live.
8. McCourt's view of the Catholic Church is that they weren't very nice.
9. Angela's Ashes taught me that Ireland is a pretty poor place and
that people are suffering over there.
10. I rate Angela's Ashes a 4 on a scale one to five.
