Angela struggles to provide for her family from "summary" of Angelas Ashes by Frank McCourt
Angela McCourt, a woman of great strength, faces the daunting task of providing for her family in a world that seems determined to keep them down. With a husband who is often absent or drunk, Angela must rely on her own resourcefulness to make ends meet. She takes on odd jobs, works long hours, and scrimps and saves in order to put food on the table and clothes on her children's backs.
Despite her best efforts, Angela constantly finds herself struggling against poverty and despair. The family lives in squalid conditions, with little money for even the most basic necessities. Angela is forced to make difficult choices, such as whether to buy bread or coal, and whether to pawn her possessions in order to pay the rent.
As the eldest child, Frank McCourt watches his mother's struggles with a mixture of admiration and fear. He sees how hard she works to keep the family together, and how little she asks for in return. Despite the odds stacked against her, Angela maintains a sense of dignity and pride that never wavers.
Through it all, Angela remains steadfast in her determination to provide for her children, no matter the cost. She is a beacon of hope in a world that often seems dark and cruel. Her love for her family shines through in every sacrifice she makes, every tear she sheds, and every smile she musters in the face of adversity.
In Angela's eyes, there is no greater calling than that of a mother who will do whatever it takes to ensure her children's well-being. Her struggles are not just a burden, but a testament to the power of love and perseverance in the face of hardship. And though the road may be long and fraught with obstacles, Angela McCourt walks it with her head held high, knowing that she is doing all she can to provide for her family.
