Afterthought

My father is better than bad. It is indeed partly because of class hatred and religious issues that make it difficult to find a job. Having a job is unsustainable because of the rejection and ridicule of others. The father can communicate with whom he has not seen except his own children. Becoming a good brother, and the continuous pressure of unemployment can only rely on alcohol paralysis to form addiction. Originally, his wife expected him to go to the UK to get a good job and improve his family, but... we have also seen the result. This makes the wife gradually lose her love and trust in him, and often speaking coldly is understandable. Mother's hard work and helplessness... I don't know what can be done in that era. Women are usually considered suitable to be at home and take care of their children. I know that she must be so educated, and there is no girl in the school, I can imagine. Relief and begging are the only simple ways to help her and her children immediately. A life of loss of dignity is not a sinful sin, but forgetting to love yourself. Everyone knows that it is sinful to look at your sister’s naked body, and it is even more sinful to spend money on prostitutes, but many people don’t consider that you don’t look at your sister but you look at other people’s sisters. Everyone is like this, and the world still doesn’t. Keep going. God did create the world, but everyone decides how to play the world. Heaven and hell are always changing in your feelings and life. How many images there are in love, and how many ways there are in freedom, are beyond the judgment of most people.

Angela's Ashes quotes

  • Narrator: If I were in America I could say "I love you, dad", the way they do in the films. But in Limerick they'd laugh at you. In Limerick you are only allowed to say you love God, and babies, and horses that win. Anything else is softness in the head.

  • Young Frank: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a minute since my last confession.
