Memorable Moment in the Book

A memorable moment in the book was when he first arrives in America and has to transition to a different society than in Ireland. He is given advice by a Priest, but refuses because he wants to learn how to act on his own. He has to act on his own and adapt to a lifestyle that he had not experienced before. He has to grow on his own experiences and he is treated harshly to begin with. The American dream is in Frank’s mind early on and he dreams of being in a nice house while having to stay in a rented horrible apartment early on. The start of the book conveys how an immigrant had to learn how to survive in the rough streets of New York City during the early twentieth century. His humor and description of dialogue make the book more interesting, but they add to the book in a special way to make the start of the book seem memorable.

Comparison of Angela’s Ashes to ‘Tis

Angela’s Ashes is the story of Frank McCourt as a boy, and his difficulties living in Ireland as a young boy during the time when food was scarce and people began to starve. As a poor boy, he lived in a dilapidated, unpaved lane of houses that regularly flooded and where he shared one outdoor toilet with his family and all of his neighbors. His brothers died and he has to continue to live on even though his parents are in need of help. His life begins to get better as he gets older, even though there were many hardships. In‘Tis, his life gets better as he seeks a new life in the land of opportunity and he is only nineteen at the beginning. Although he is clueless in America and lonely, unlike in Angela’s Ashes, he is able to find a job, and later, he becomes a teacher. His life grows and he gets married to a girl he meets in college. He become an effective teacher and eventually teaches from his own mind, and not from books, showing his independence. Both of the endings have the title of each other in the end, and they are both generally sad. Between both books, they are both very sad and Frank McCourt’s life was very unfortunate early on, but his life experiences gave him the ability to write like he did. Overall, Angela’s Ashes is a better book.

Important Life Lesson learned by one of the Characters

After having Sprite for only a certain amount of time, Mark realized that even after having him for a short amount, it was worth it in the end. Even after having the dog for only a year and a few months, it taught him a lesson. Even though there was so much anguish after his death, the way he and his family cherished the dog ultimately changed their life. Out of his two dogs, Mark loved both of them equally, but Sprite taught him a lesson. Having a dog does not take much work for the amount of love you receive from the dog. Mark loved his dog, and he cherished him even after his death. After having the dog, Mark was very thankful and he realized that having a good life is better than having a long life of pain. For all people who have pets, pets teach people to treat each other better for the short amount of time they are able to spend with their loved ones.

Sad Moment at the End of the Book

At the end of the book, I was saddened when Sprite had to be put down due to his poor medical conditions. He was weak and would not continue to walk, making it impossible for him to live without the Thus, Mark, the author of the book, had to sadly put him down because of this. After Sprite’s death, Mark and his family were very sad because of their pet’s death and the short amount of time that they had their pet. The worst part was when he had an autopsy of the pet, and he found traces of arthritis, which could have been easily treated when Sprite was alive. Unfortunately, Sprite died before they could found out because they did not have an MRI scan before when they were given the option to. Sad to say, the ending was not happy, but it truly expressed the pain of losing a pet and how a dog truly does make you happy for the short lifespan they have. I would easily say that the book has touched me, and I now know that when my dog dies, it will be hard to cope with it.

Why Rescuing Sprite is a Great Book/Recommendation

Rescuing Sprite by Mark Levin is a great dog lover’s story of how a rescued dog with certain problems can still be loved in the same way that another dog can. From early on in the book, the author reveals his experiences with pets as a child and as an adult, but no pet that he had was the same as Sprite. Having a pet, there is certainly a different perspective due to the fact that the book is about the bond between dogs and their owners, yet the book is great because it solely talks about the connection and how the author remembers his dog. For me, as a pet owner, I will always remember my dog because dogs act as if you are their life, and they are never ever mean to you. Even if you don’t have a pet, the book is a great read because the way the book is written is just great. For anyone who owns a pet, this is a great story of how pets can touch their owners, and how humans have a connection to dogs. I cannot agree more with what the author has said in the book. Although the book was a short read, I guarantee anyone who owns a pet will feel the connection once again that they had with their pet and be more thankful for having a pet.
