McCourt takes note of his families lack of communitcation because his grandmother doesn’t speak to his mother, his mother doesn’t talk to her siblings, his father doesn’t talk to Angela’s family, and no one talks to his uncle’s wife. However, Angela seems to have intimate and frequent talks with her neighbor Bridey Hannon.
Angela and Malachy end up having to get false teeth due to their excessive smoking. Malachy Jr. puts the fake teeth in his mouth and ends up getting sent to the hospital. While the family is in the hospital the doctor notes Frank's breathing with his mouth open and the doctor insists that Frank get his tonsils removed.
Angela tells Frank that he should take Irish dance lessons. Frank attends his first class and feels stupid for even trying. Because of this he continues to skip his dance classes and spend the money on sweets or goes to the movie instead. Whenever he returns home he just makes up a dance and performs it to his family. However, Malachy finally confronts him when the dance teacher sends Malachy a letter asking where his sone has been.
The disfunctions and misfortunes of the family continue to heap into a large pile. The lack of communication in the family disturbs me because I can't imagine going a day without talking to a certain person in my family let a lone hardly ever speaking to them. Another misfortune plaques the McCourt family which is somewhat a humerous one... Who would have thought of all things that Malachy Jr. would have to be rushed to the hospital for getting dentures stuck in his mouth... Something disappointing to me is the fact that Frank is continuing to make bad decisions... It seems as though there is a good boy deep down inside of him.
