McCourt uses humor in conversations, the narrator’s observations, and in the circumstances into which the family and, in particu

lar, Frank are placed. Although many of the narrator’s experiences are genuinely pathetic, how does the humor add to the effectiveness of the text? Would you have liked the book better if the humor had been omitted? Why or why not?

This question is about the book "Angela's Ashes".

Answer and Explanation:

Humor increases the effectiveness of the text because it makes it lighter and more enjoyable. This is because even in the midst of pathetic situations, as shown in the question above, the book portrays very serious and uncomfortable elements such as hunger, disease, extreme poverty, death and hopelessness. McCourt's use of humps relieves this feeling of discomfort and makes the book more effective, as it can deliver a message.

I believe that I would have liked it less if the humor in the book was homitized, because it would take away that relief and let only all the obscurity of the story and all the discomfort consume me as a reader and leave a heavy, slow and demotivating reading.

why is it hard for parents to understand their kids so like my mom thought i was being disrespectful for pointing out my view
kati45 [8]
Parents at times feel like all they want to do is ruin your life. there just trying to help you. what your doing is not pointing you view it is talking back. just have a talk with your mom tell sorry and ask her next time calmly if she can see your point of view and if says no then be mature about it and say ok. she is your mo for all you care. hoped i helped.

tia_tia [17]
He never learned a trade, he just sells gas,Checks oil, and changes flats. Once in a while,As a gag, he dribbles an inner tube,But most of us remember anyway.His hands are fine and nervous on the lug wrench.It makes no difference to the lug wrench, though.
Off work, he hangs around Mae’s Luncheonette.Grease-gray and kind of coiled, he plays pinball,Smokes those thin cigars, nurses lemon phosphates.Flick seldom says a word to Mae, just nodsBeyond her face toward bright applauding tiersOf Necco Wafers, Nibs, and Juju Beads.
