Post #5

Quote #1: Page: 226
They whispered to each other, they looked at me, laugh, wwhispered again and im sorry I ever set foot on staten island.

This showed that he still struggles because people critisizes him and so a lot of people dont respect him. Also it showed that he dosent dress like regular Americans because he is still in costome in how he used to dress before.

I think that he should just ignore what other people think of him and just keep on trying to get better in life. I think its good that he is trying his best to get a better life and not slaking.

Question #1: Do you think that more people will make fun of him because in where he is from and how he dresses?

Quote #2: Page: 213
"A meal aint a meal without a potato and im not even Irish"

This quote showed how not just in Ireland they really like potatos and so that probubly brange a lot of memories of his life in Ireland, when the good times of potato in Ireland and in the bad times.

It was funny how she said a meal isint a meal without potato and she isint even irish and also she was kind of drunk at the time when she was saying that.

Question #2: Do you think when he was about to eat the potato he is scared that he will die because of the decease in the potatoes in Ireland?

I felt sorry for Frank. I hate it when people are so insecure they take it out on others.

I think that will continue to make fun of him. I just wish he sticks up for him self.

I have a question for this quote, Who said that?

He may be a little scared but I would eat if I was dying!

Quote #1: That is called persecution and he gets a lot of it. Frank is being made fun of because he is Irish, and Irish people were made fun of A LOT. I see why he want s to possibly go back to Ireland.

Question #1: I absolutely think that other people will make fun of him. He is a poor person who lives in poverty.

Quote #2: I guess that was funny, because potatoes "keep the Irish alive," if you know what I mean.

Question #2: I'm not sure, about that, maybe.
