Frank describes his childhood as miserable, and says that everything would have been better for the family if his parents didn't move to Ireland. In this first chapter of the story, we learn that Frank's parents were pressured into a marriage because Frank's mother, Angela became pregnant out of wedlock. After Frank's birth, Angela and Malachy have four more children in the span of four years (Malachy Jr., Eugene, Oliver, and Margaret). At the end of this chapter, Frank describes the death of his only sister, and its affect on his parents. Malachy Sr. goes on a drinking binge and Angela launches into a depressive downward spiral. The intervention of aunts Philomena and Delia bring with it money from Grandma in Limerick to send the family back to Ireland. ]]> 2016-10-31 12:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134183389 kriportella https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134186601 Ashes: Ashes consistently fall from the cigarettes Angela smokes, and we frequently see Angela staring bleakly into the fireplace throughout the novel. Ashes are dark, bleak, and lifeless, which is the tone of the story Frank is telling. Angela’s ashes represent her crumbling aspirations of raising a healthy family with a supportive husband.

In the hospital he sees Seamus, who was at the hospital with Frank, and Mr. Timoney, who Frank read to.

In school, Frank is now in the fourth form. Everyday, His teacher Mr. O'Neill,  gives the boy who correctly answers a difficult question one of his apple peels. One day, Fintan Slattery got a chance at answering the question. Fintan, described by Frank as a dandified do gooder, goes to church everyday, curls his hair, and reacts to the other childrens taunts with a smile. He shared his apple peel with Frank, Quigley and Paddy Clohessy. The boys are humiliated because they do not want to be associated with the feminine Fintan Slattery. Fintan invites the boys over after school, luring them with promises of food. Paddy and Frank are worried because Fintan had went to the bathroom with them and said he enjoys looking at them. 
A few days later, Fintan invites the boys over for lunch but instead of feeding them Fintan eats his lunch alone. Angry and hungry, the boys dont return to school after lunch and steal apples and milk from a near by farm. Quigley sees the boys and informs Frank that his parents are looking for him and they are furious. Too scared to go home, Frank goes home with paddy who lives in an unbearable squalor.

Frank has his first collection and meats Paddy Clohessy . he has his first confession and is worrying about having the worst sin. 
His confession was a humorous part in the story. Frank went in and told the priest about the story Mikey Molloy told Frank. The Priest said he has a long way to go before getting to be the most sinful. ]]> 2016-11-02 12:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743137 https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743193 In chapter 11 Frank, Malachy and his friends come up with a soccer team called the Red Hearts of Limerick. Frank was inspired to call the soccer team this, because of a red flapper dress his mother had that he cut hearts out of. Mikey Molloy turned sixteen and invited Frank to go with him to the pub to have his first pint. Mikey Molloy and his family then moved to England, because his dad decided to stop drinking so they can have a better life.

Franks family throws him a party. Franks family cries in the thought of Frank leaving. Frank wishes he stayed in Ireland and stayed at the post office to provide for his mom and brothers. 
Some points of humor in Angela's Ashes is when Frank sees himself the Robin Hood of Ireland when he throws all the paper debts into the river and steals from the Dead Woman.]]> 2016-11-02 12:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743216 https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743271 In chapter 17 Frank turns 16 and when you turn 16 you are aloud to get a pint of beer with your dad. Because his dad is a piece and is in London Pa Keating takes him instead. Frank gets very drunk and goes home and accuses Angela of sleeping with Laman Griffin. Frank leaves and goes to bed and wakes up and feels horrible. He goes and tells the priest what he did. 



The irony is that Angela says that he is like his father.

He and Laman make a deal, that Frank can use his bike as long as he runs errands and empty Laman's chamber pot everyday. Franks teacher, Mr. O'Halloran tells Frank's mom that he should continue school and leave for America. Frank forgets to empty Laman's chamber pot one time, Laman gets angry and refuses to let Frank use his bike. They end up getting into a fight and Frank leaves and goes and lives with Uncle Ab Sheehan. Chapter 17 is ironic because Angela said Frank is just like his father, when he comes home drunk.  ]]> 2016-11-02 12:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743335 https://padlet.com/kriportella/ujpen4hbcvpd/wish/134743384 The only word in chapter 19 is "Tis".

Everyone laughs at him at the office because he has old raggedy clothes. Aunt Aggie took him shopping for some new clothes, and gives him money to buy a cup of tea and a bun. Frank is a temporary worker, which means he receives less pay. It also means he can't stay at his job beyond 16. One day he meets a seven-year-old consumption girl named Theresa. Frank starts to develop a relationship  with Theresa. Then later that week she dies.

Their grandma is still upset about the God in the backyard situation. She will not talk to the boys or Angela so that means they can't ask for milk or sugar. The McCourt's neighbors go to Malachy for help with writing letters. Grandma Sheenan feels bad for Bill Galvin because she knows his wife passed away, so in the morning she cooks him breakfast and dinner and delivers it to him at Limekiln where he works. Angela makes a suggestion that Malachy should take Bill the food so Grandma doesn't have to walk all the way to his work everyday, but the food was so irresistible and he eats all of his food. When Grandma and Bill find out they tell Malachy that for two weeks he will be delivering his food for free. Malachy wants Frank to be an Altar boy and after Frank memorizes the mass, they go down to see the person in charge and the official takes one look at Frank and notices his raggedy clothes. He tells them that they do not have room for them and slams the door in their faces. 
Malachy The Father: He was an alcoholic and he was always drinking his money away & when he went to London he didn't come back.
Angela The mother: She always took care of children, but she didn't work because she depended on Malachy. Malachy wasn't around so she had to beg for food for her and the children

Malachy the father is supposed to support his family and he goes and gets hammered all the time at the pub and he feels bad about it.Another example of guilt is that Malachy sold his sons body for alcohol and ate all of Bill Galvins food and his punishment was he didn't get paid for two weeks straight, and also another example is Angela had to beg for food because her husband drank all of the money away and wouldn't support the family.
