If there are any two characters who are discussed more in Angela's Ashes than the father, Malachy McCourt and the mother, Angela Sheehan McCourt, I can't think of them.
Please pick ONE of these two people. Groups 1,3 and 5/6 -- the father. Groups 2 and 4 -- the mother.
Formulate a thesis about the parent you are writing about -- a "theme", or main idea, in their lives and roles in the book that you can find amply illustrated in three passages.
Analyze those three passages in detail. Pay attention to the details. After all, everything is in how Frank McCourt describes them. We don't know anything at all about either of the parents, except what the author chooses to tell us. So, treat them as though they were fictional characters. For us, that's what they are.
