What type of sentence structure does he use? How does he present dialogue? What are the attitudes of the narrator towards his father, mother, brothers, and other members of his family? What is the effectiveness of McCourt's telling the story through the eyes of a young boy?

Answer and Explanation:

Hello. This question is about the book "Angela's Ashes". Since you did not specify an excerpt from that book, I will reply based on the entire book. I hope it helps you.

 1. The author uses a chronological structure, where he tells the story based on the timeline where the events took place in sequence. Thus he situates the reader about the events in his life and the impact these events have had on him and her family.

2. He presents the dialogue in direct, objective and simple phrases, as they happen in real life, since he is recounting dialogues that really happened in his life.

3. In general, the narrator shows positive attitudes towards his family, understanding the reasons that make them act the way they do. Although his positioning seems bad and a way to complain about his family, we can conclude that he believes that judging his family's actions is not correct, since, in the situation as they lived, he would do the same as they did.

4. Telling the story through the eyes of a boy, McCourt manages to convey truth, since children do not have the need to soften facts, but tell them the way they were. In addition, the stories told by children have a certain innocence and simplicity, which ends up making the book easier to read.

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
