The McCourts' neighbors have their fathers leaving for England. Because England needs people to work for their factories. To make guns and munitions (as Mc Court said it) needed for the war.
Most of the families in the lane have more than bread and tea. On Saturdays, when the mail arrives, they have money from their fathers to buy food and watch movie at the cinema. And the McCourts don't have tea and bread, not even coal to warm their home.
Suddenly, Angela asked Malachy if he wanted to go to England. And Frank seconded the idea.
Then, he left.
It would take a fortnight before he can finally send some money through the mail. That's because he would have things to pay there like rent and all.
I don't like this.
Would the change of environment totally change a man?
I couldn't wait until the fortnight comes. When the money is supposed to be on the mail.
