Angela’s Ashes Journal Entry-Frank

Today, my classmate Mickey Spellacy’s sister finally passed away. Mickey’s hope became real. Now Mickey can get a week off from school because of sister’s death. He seemed really happy today. However, he did not keep the promise. Mickey promised to Billy Campbell and me that if we pray that his sister will die in the middle of school term, he said he will invite us to his sister’s wake.

    Overcoming a hardship is a difficult thing to do that shows strength and determination in one’s character. In the novel Angela’s Ashes, multiple characters throughout the book overcome their own hardships. For instance, Frank McCourt has multiple negative things thrown at him all through his childhood and teenage years. Such as, his father being a constant drunk forcing his mother to beg for food from the priest’s leftovers. Though Frank did not overcome this in the most legal ways at times he was still able to provide for his family. Another character who had to overcome obstacles was Angela herself. She had no support from her husband, who could be found drinking away any pay he made that day. Even when begging was frowned upon she still did what she had to provide for her children.
