An important part of this BP should be an examination of social issues including education systems in Ireland of the 1930's-40's. Another significant theme is both how these issues, including employment, social mobility, poverty, and religion are shown in American literary works as well as how Ireland generally has been represented. Specific literary works of Irish immigrants can be briefly compared to ones by other newly-arrived immigrants to America in the 20th century; works by second or third generation Irish immigrants can be compared to earlier ones. The idea of America as a land of opportunity in ANGELA'S ASHES and in other works of Irish and other immigrant fiction should be critically evaluated in terms of what was possible and what was reality. A brief description of Irish social history of the period the memoir is set in should be featured, especially as represented in literary works then and now. A short biography of McCourt should be included along with a brief overview of his most important works and themes, concluding with a concise summary of the plot and themes of ANGELA'S ASHES. In the last part a comparison of the plot of the book and actual historical events can be undertaken. The dynamics of popular fiction and mass market publishing may be touched upon here.
