I have not read much into my book, only a few pages. So far the man writing (Frank McCourt), who was a teacher for like 30 years, doesn't act like a teacher at all. His personality seems nothing like the stereotypical teacher and I think that is what will make the book interesting. So far in the memoir, he has spoken about his first few days as a teacher. One story was actually really funny, and it is easy to see why McCourt remembers the event so well. Apparently, some kids were arguing and one kid threw a baloney sandwich at the other kid...I know, kind of random. Nonetheless, Mccourt wasn't exactly sure how to respond to this since nobody had taught him what to do if some kid throws a baloney sandwich. Therefore, he walked over to the sandwich, picked it up, and to the surprise of the students, he began to eat it. Once again, kind of random. This makes the book enjoyable though and makes me want to read on. Frank Mccourt was then scolded by the principle and it appeared that his career as a teacher wouldn't last so long. That is about as far as I got in the book and I have high hopes for it.
