McCourt, Frank: Angela s Ashes

Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument beschreibt das Buch „Angela's Ashes“ von Frank McCourt, welches von seiner Kindheit erzählt. Es zeigt, wie seine Mutter Angela Probleme hatte, ihre Kinder zu ernähren, da ihr Mann Malachy häufig betrunken war und selten arbeitete. Die Familie kehrte aufgrund finanzieller Schwierigkeiten nach Irland zurück, wo das Leben noch schwieriger wurde. Malachy hatte Schwierigkeiten, Arbeit zu finden, und die Familie hatte Schwierigkeiten, genug Geld zum Leben zu verdienen. Frank und sein Bruder Malachy besuchten eine Schule in Limerick, wo die Lehrer sehr streng und religiös waren. Die Familie lebte in verschiedenen Wohnungen und hatte oft kein Geld für Essen und Heizung. Frank arbeitete als Telegraphenbote und sparte sein Geld, um in die USA zurückzukehren. Er arbeitete auch für eine Zeitung und half einer alten Frau, die Geld verlieh und es zurückhaben wollte, indem er Bedrohungsschreiben schrieb. Schließlich gelang es Frank, genug Geld zu sparen, um in die USA zurückzukehren und seine Familie in Irland zurückzulassen. Am Ende des Dokuments verlässt er Irland im Alter von 19 Jahren.
