ANGELA'S ASHES RESPONSE

In Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes the reasons for which Angela and her 
future husband left Ireland for New York were simple. Angela was sent to New 
York by her mother because she said Angela was worthless and there was 
plenty of room in America for useless people. As for Malachy, Angela's future 
husband, he escaped to New York from Ireland because he had a price put on 
his head from fighting with the Old IRA. He became a fugitive and his only way 
out was to escape to America. Later after the McCourts were married and had 
children, they eventually had to leave New York. They had to leave because 
New York was going through a depression along with the rest of America and 
there was not much work. The McCourts could not afford to stay in New York. 
Angela and Malachy also suffered the loss of there little girl, Margaret. After the 
loss of their daughter the McCourts could not bare to stay in New York anymore.
The McCourts made a terrible mistake by leaving New York. They made 
a terrible mistake because shortly after they left, America was coming out of the 
depression and there were more jobs. The McCourts left the hardships in New 
York to the even worse conditions of a poorer Ireland. In America people were 
free and could have more better job opportunities. By choosing to leave New 
York the McCourts gave up any opportunity they had to having a better life for 
themselves. The McCourts appeared to have gained nothing by moving back to 
Ireland. There were hardly any jobs and the ones that were available did not 
3
pay that much. The McCourts also did not get any help from the government nor 
barely any help from their family that lived there. The McCourts left New York 
and only made their situation worse for themselves. They should have just 
stayed in New York so that their children could of had at least some chance of a 
decent life.
