Do you think the people of Limerick are being fair in their judgment?
I think that they are being fair in how they are judging it. Because they are taking it into view as if that is how the whole town is like and how the lifestyle is normally there but he is just describing how he lived his life and is not taking word for everyone else in that town. So yes I think they are right in there judgment but also no because this is Franks personal story and not all of theirs so they need to open there mind and think a little on what he is really saying.
How would your friends and neighbors react if a book like McCourts came out about your area?
All of my friends and neighbors would have different views on what I would have to say about the area, why I say this is because I would no give good comments about this area because I do not like the school systems all around and or the area in general. But someone might disagree because they may think other wise it is completely there own opinion.
I believe you are right when you say the people are closed minded. some people just don't want to face the facts sometimes
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were being close minded about his situation, I thought they were more upset over how the entire town was portrayed, as you said in the beginning.
