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.
