A Cremation?

This blog post is in response to the 18th blog post

When I first came across this book, I assumed that it would be about the holocaust or some type of tragic event. I was really surprised ( for real) when I started getting into the book, and I found out that it's about poor people living in Ireland. I think that the title was very misleading because it doesn't really give the reader a hint about what the book is going to be like or anything. I thought that a girl was narrating the book until the second chapter. As I further analyze the title of the book, the question of cremation comes up. I think that the entire book is based on faith, but in a way their faith has betrayed them and has not brought them wealth or success or luck in anyway. Relating it to cremation and ashes, the process of cremation was not really something practiced by the Catholic faith, which in a way makes the whole book seem controversial. I did not really understand why the book was titled the way it is, and I believe it should have a different one in order to have a greater impact on the reader.
