Frank turns to storytelling as a way to cope from "summary" of Angelas Ashes by Frank McCourt

Frank, a young boy living in poverty-stricken Limerick, Ireland, finds solace in the act of storytelling. His upbringing is fraught with hardship and loss, with his father often drunk and unable to provide for the family, and his mother struggling to make ends meet. In the midst of such dire circumstances, Frank turns to storytelling as a way to escape the harsh realities of his everyday life. Through storytelling, Frank is able to transport himself to a different world, where he can imagine a life far removed from the poverty and despair that surrounds him. He weaves tales of adventure, fantasy, and humor, drawing on his vivid imagination to create a sense of hope and optimism in the face of adversity. As he grows older, Frank's storytelling becomes not only a means of escape, but also a form of coping with the challenges that life throws his way. Whether he is dealing with the death of a sibling, the constant struggle for food and shelter, or the shame of his family's poverty, storytelling provides Frank with a way to make sense of his experiences and find a sense of catharsis. Through the act of storytelling, Frank is able to process his emotions, confront his fears, and find a sense of empowerment in the face of overwhelming hardship. His stories become a way for him to connect with others, to share his experiences, and to find comfort and solace in the midst of chaos.
