Answer:
They are both alcoholics. They are also kind occasionally.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Angela's Ashes, Malachy McCourt Sr., is the father to Frank and Angela's husband. Frank described him as having three personalities in one. At times he was a kind father who took care of his kids, and at other times he was a mindless alcoholic. He was also a religious when he wanted to.
Uncle Pat Sheehan shared some of these attributes with Malachy McCourt Sr. His kind nature was shown when he allowed Frank to come to stay with him when he was no longer comfortable staying at Uncle Laman's place. His alcoholic nature was shown when he was brought in drunk by Aunt Agnes and Pa Keating.
