Due to Frank's obsession with Shakespeare, reading books, listening to his father's stories, telling stories, writing letters, and hardships he has had to live with, I have made the prediction he will become a writer. He will pay for his family away his father never could. In this chapter, Frank is diagnosed with the worse case of conjunctivitis the doctors have ever seen due to his constant reading. His mother continues to struggle in order to feed their family and Frank's father now left for England to get a job. Malachy Senior still does not send any pay checks home to the family because of his nights at the pub. Angela is forced to become a beggar and Frank begins to steal coal and food from richer families in order to survive. I predict that Frank McCourt is going to become an amazing writer and be able to pay for his family to eat and have a better home. He is going to move to America and live his father's dream of working in America. "If I were in America I could say, I love you, Dad, the way they do in the films, but you can't say that in Limerick for fear you might get laughed at" (210, McCourt).
