Picture This
In Angela's Ashes, Frank (the main character) is constantly asking his parents questions. Since he's a little kid and isn't very educated, he's very curious about a lot of things that go on or about something his parents may say. As shown in my symbol, Frank is depicted in the bottom left corner with many questions on his mind. His parents are depicted in the top right hand corner with the response he always gets when he asks them something. "Just go play outside Frank."
"There's no use asking more questions. If you ask a question they tell you it's a mystery, you'll understand when you grow up, be a good boy, ask your mother, ask your father, for the love o'Jesus leave me alone, go out and play. (McCourt 133)"
This quote clearly goes along with my symbol because of what's going on in both. Frank is always asking questions but never gets an answer to them. So he feels as though there is no point in asking them anything anymore. I think this will be an important detail that leads to the message of the story because it's brought up a lot throughout the book.
