Angela’s Ashes
|
IMDB rating: 7.00 Plot: Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela’s Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie’s siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie’s Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink. |

Has anyone read the book Angela's Ashes? I need some help understanding the book. Can you help?
Here are some questions I have about the book:
1. What are some literary techniques in the book?
2. What are the moods of the book?
3.Did you learn anything information or anything new from the book?
4. How did the Irish deal with social and religious problems in the book?
5.How are minorities seen in the book?
6. Why did the McCourts move to Ireland?
If could answer any of these questions that would be great. You dont have to answer all, just to the best of your ability,
thanks(:
I read half of it a few years ago, but stopped because it mirrored my life too closely and I couldn’t take it any more.
