Consider the following quote from Angela’s Ashes and answer the questions that follow. "When I look back on my childhood I wonde

r how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. . . . [N]othing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious alcoholic father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying schoolmasters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years." What seems to be the author’s purpose in this passage? If you were to write your own memoir, what would the tone and purpose of it be?

Answer and Explanation:

Feel free to change anything to make this fit your personality and opinions.

Dear…,

How have you and your family been? I hope everyone has been doing well and staying healthy!

I finally have some free time and some extra money, so I think I will be able to visit you soon. I worked part time for a while and was able to save up a little. I was an apprentice caretaker at a nursing home here in town. It was a wonderful experience, and I must say I will never forget it.

I had to help the caretakers in their daily routine with the seniors. We would do everything, even help them eat and bathe, if it was necessary. We’d bring them their food and medication to make sure they never skipped them. We would also come up with games and activities to keep them active and motivated, you know? There was this one afternoon when we played some instruments and even danced! You should have seen their smiling faces!

I feel changed after this job. It opened my eyes to the difficulties of growing old. Our bodies sometimes seem to give up, even though our minds may stay alert and willing to do much more. Seniors deserve much more attention and respect than what they usually get. I hope I can teach my children that in the future, when I have my own family.

Write to me soon!

Qed in 1865.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

"40 acres and a mule"

Explanation:

The phrase Forty Acres and a Mule got strong popularity in the South following the Civil War.  It was the first organized effort to provide a sort of reparation for newly liberated slaves. Found its source from the Special Field Orders, No. 15 drafted by General Sherman arguing for the right of newly liberated African Americans to redistribute the land among them. However, this order had not become an official government step because of various reasons and the most famous one was the untimely death of Lincon.
