Angelas Ashes

In Pulitzer Prize winning, Angela’s Ashes, a memoir, Frank McCourt demonstrates his ability to provoke healthy and thoughtful laughter throughout his seemingly depressing work. How, as a young boy, Frank survives - is still a phenomenon that plagues and questions even the most spiritual of readers. Whether it be by act of God, or sheer luck and good fortune, the reader is wholeheartedly listening and learning as Frank teaches his childish art of thoughtful laughter.

As a youth, Frank, lighthearted and as innocent as ever, looks at his portion of life in a day to day journey. Frank takes the smallest things to heart, instead of looking at the whole picture. He looks at personal triumphs and mischievous acts in a boyish sense. Instead of recognizing the entire picture, like the ramshackle houses and the deteriorating surroundings. Frank looks at Angela ( his mother) distantly throughout the novel. She loves Frank, and relies on Frank later during the novel, but there always remains a certain distance that is present in their relationship. She always puts her family and herself in strenuous positions ~ by having another child, being ill and useless, by being submissive to other men
