Memoir

I think that McCourt relied mostly on his childish views of how things were. He never onced said how awful his father was for spending needed money on alcohol, even though he has every right to. He has repeated his mothers words but never really formed an opinion of him himself since after all it was the father who told him storys of cuchalain by the fire and that is really how a child views a father or any family member with a problem, they seem to overlook their downfalls and never really put their suffering together with that person. He seems to show the guilt and confusion that chldren around Franks age really do experience and if you were to look back you would say, that was irrational and stupid, but Frank shows genuine guilt for his actions.
