" In how Frank McCourt writes that "nothing can compare with the Irish version," this demonstrates an isolated regard and illuminates his drive to move back to the United States. Moreover, Angela's overpowering molestation parallels Frank's social injustice (oppression) throughout.
In terms of the Spiritual, namely, St. Francis of Assisi, "the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying schoolmasters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years": Frank apparently factors all these together (the oppressive Irish Catholic childhood and the oppression of the "eight hundred long years" of English oppression). Spirituality, thus, was only another restraint, an overbearing tyrannical oppressor.
As for the Mental/cognitive concern, McCourt's memoir lets on to many of these thematics (of Devol's "eleven resources"). As a narrator, McCourt (as an adult) expresses his rounded or contrived opinion in a strong and clear manner. This is necessary for the reader to carefully follow throughout, as the narration preservers through the Franks viewpoint as a child. Thus, the reader gets to objectively conclude with his in her own judgment (though in the rational mind, no interpretation could be too far a reach from most others, though the details individualize these oppressive situations entirely).
As per the Formal register of language, as noted, this equates in a big way through the limitations imposed by social class. Regardless, Frank eventually sees the United States as a place where social class holds no bearing.

There were times when Hitler's life was threatened, when it seemed to become clear that people weren't going to stand for what he was doing. Frank notes that there were even "lots of officers and generals who are sick of the war and would like to see Hitler descend into a bottomless pit" (Frank 264). Frank finds hope in the fact that there are people who are Jewish like
No sophisticated discussion of the Holocaust, Israel, or even the diary of Anne Frank can avoid the complex issues surrounding the early Zionist movement. The United States support for Israel could also be controversial in class. However, the Holocaust was of such tremendous scale and historical relevance that awareness of anti-Semitism and Jewish history has increased dramatically throughout Western Europe and North America. Comparing the experience of oppression, persecution, and
She tried to encourage her sister Margot, who was so dear to her. When Anne felt discouraged, she turned to her diary, a place where she could be totally free. Anne Frank's spirit and her gift for writing call to mind a modern hero, a boy named Mattie Stepanek. Like Anne, Mattie was a writer. Before he was fourteen years old, he had published six books of poetry, including the
