Roddy Doyle, author of The Commitments, portrays a young Irish bands’ dreams of becoming a Dublin soul group that impacts others. In the beginning, The Commitments, as they call themselves, are motivated by the desire to represent a genre of music their people can relate to; but as time passes by, certain band members’ hunger for fame and fortune outweighs their desire for a creative outlet.

traditional chivalry, gasping for a breath of air untainted by split families and casual cohabitation, is based on her personal experience with failure to obtain her goals in all areas of life.

actions and goals is a simple plan that many seem to neglect. People do not even stay committed to their relationships with each other, let alone themselves. How can you ever stay committed to anyone else if you are not committed to yourself first? Commitment is hard enough because there are so many distractions in the world that divert attention.
