E.g. in “Manhood” we are introduced to a, for some people recognizable, type of parental influence, whereas we see a slightly more patriarchal, old-fashioned way of raising a kid in Penelope Lively’s “The Happiest Days of Your Life”. John Wain’s “Manhood” is bringing up the discussion of how far a father should go, into pacing his son. Some people might say, that the son will thank his father for what he does, but maybe Rob is just not that type of child. The sort of influence seen in “Manhood”, might even be seen as a natural part of “growing up”.

Follower and Digging both give a clear account of Heaney's feelings towards his father with particular emphasis on the poet's response to the physical labour of his father. Both poems capture the contrast between past and present, Heaney's life and that of his father and once again highlight the theme of change. The notion of transformation is effectively conveyed in the poems by the display of the father's and also Heaney's journey through life. Both poems create a clear picture of their lives that spans over several years and generations and that effectively condenses the happenings in that time. ‘Digging’ is very much like ‘Follower’, in the sense that it shows how the young Heaney looked up to his elders - in this case both father and grandfather.
