One of the most interesting aspects of the writing in Angela's Ashes is how the text is written, from McCourts interpretation of the situation at his age he was at the time, the spelling and grammar also indicates that the child is writing, not the adult. This contributes immensely to the emotions and enjoyment evoked from reading the book. It also better describes how a child actually sees the things going around them, and what they may be thinking. Personally, sometimes is made me think for a while about how I interpret

ed things I saw when I was that age, and the fun I had being a 'kid' with my sister.

As Frank progresses into adolescence, he explores the feelings and changes he goes through. Such topics as sexuality, puberty, religion, drinking are investigated and the outcomes are dealt with. It could be said that all adolescent males should read this book for this reason only, 'what to avoid' in growing up through the teen years. While this part of the book is very humourous at times, it still strongly reinforces the point of a dysfunctional family and the effects it has on children.
