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.
