Tis’ Review

by Mikito Wendell

The book I read was called Tis’ this was a very interesting book by the way the author talks about his situation of dealing with hard times and not having much money. The author has to face tragic obstacles involving his father decisions in life. You would never think about how a family being from a different country facing a different culture and language would survive dealing with difficult times. Their situation helped me realize what a lot of people have to do in order to survive and better their life; for example, coming to the states not knowing anyone, trying to start a new life and try to adapt to the lifestyle like the people in the states.

Frank McCourt, the main character, had to deal with a culture shock coming to the states by himself, and also had to find ways to make money to help his family. When he came to the states, he realized how it was and how difficult it was adjusting to the life style of a fast complex society. He had to do it fairly quickly and found a job as a teacher. There are manly things that people from different countries have to adapt to in the states, because other countries don’t run like the U.S. You would be surprised with what Frank McCourt had to deal with before he could settle down.

Frank McCourt didn’t come to America and just get a job and start sending money back to his family like he wanted to. He first explored the city to get a job from a very holly person just so that he can get started off in the states. One thing led to another and before he knew it he was doing things that he would never suspect to do. He got involved with the army and then came back to live a normal life as a civilian. These are all the things that you would never think about doing, but he can successfully say that he struggled, but lived through his life and was able to face a lot of challenges.

If you are the type of person that likes to see life from a different perspective, then this is a good book to read because Frank McCourt gives a good example of that situation. If you like to read about a lot of events that happen and find out how certain people overcome their situations and problems, then you will find this book very interesting.
