This picture is of the McCourt family in bed, and as you can see, instead of a blanket, they have a coat. I find that really sad because a coat isn't large enough to cover 4 people at night, especially when it is freezing, so they are forced to be cold. I can't believe that the father can let his family live in such conditions when he can change them. If only he brought home his paycheck, they would be able to buy a new blanket and sleep well at night. I can't imagine sleeping with a coat..
What do you think about their situation?
i cant even imagine myslef sleeping in the winter with justa coat. Thats just crazy how those kids have to o through this because their father is irresponsible and doesn bting a paycheck home, instead drnks it.
ReplyDeleteI really think Malachy should cut out the drinking so he can support his family. Three of his children have died because they didn't have money for food or fo heat, let alone doctor visits and medicine. I couldn't imagine having to sleep all winter with just a coat. It seems unreal that anyone could survive with so little.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Raisa. I could never imagine having to live like the way the McCourts do. Yes, Malachy really has to cut down on the drinking, and actually bring that paycheck home to support his family.
