A title not so fit for a book

After reading the book Angela's Ashes I feel that the title "Angela's Ashes" failed to symbolized any of the deeper meaning which can be taken from the book. Upon first reading the title I had thought that the book would be about how Franks mother pases away and how he struggles to deal with it. However, the title merely refers to the ashes that Angela leaves behind after smoking her cigarettes. One could infer that these ashes represent the deteriorating state of her family status. As the cigarette burns out so do the last hopes that she and her family will be able to pullout of their situation.

The essential question of the year goes been who do I want to become and what impact did i want to have on the world. Che Guevara had similar questions to answer in his youth. As noted in the book Motor Cycle Diaries I believe that Che wanted to become some sort heroic figure in which he would try and save the people who he had seen struggling in the Americas. This was first clear when Che traveled Chile and he witnessed the people who were suffering while working in the sulfur and copper mines. This was also evident when he traveled to the island where he helped lepers.
