FATHER/SON RELATIONSHIP Blacky’s relationship with his father is integral in moulding the adolescent that he is. Although the relationship between the two is clearly negative, it somewhat helps him to look past the fatherly influences, and to seek positive role models to assist him through the journey to maturity.

During the course of the novel of ‘Deadly Unna?’ the readers are exposed to the negativity between the father and his son.
“rain had called up tall recruits behind the shed,” this quote shows the father cannot destroy them .They differ in the way they felt powerless however as in Nettles the father is feeling powerless because of a physical threat whereas in Harmonium it is an emotional threat of the inevibility of death and unspoken feelings that makes the writer feel powerless. Furthermore they both include the reality of family life as the poems are realistic and the poems, especially Nettles, have both the love and misery of family relationships. In Nettles the love in the poem is the protective instincts of a parent towards his son but the misery is the Nettles that had hurt his child and the fact that being protective isn’t enough to stop him from getting hurt. The realistic relationship in Harmonium is the family resentment and frustration from a son to his father. We can tell that the writer resents and is frustrated by his father as it says “and he being him can’t help but say.......... and I, being me” which shows that he is frustrated at their relationship.
This book was made into a movie by Andrey Konchalovskiy. They both explain the great story of Odysseus and they both share and have a lot of similarities and differences. Reading the poem and then watching the movie is a really good way to compare and contrast “The Odyssey” and helps you understand much better what it is about. “The Odyssey” is a story about a god, Odysseus, who lived in Ithaca. The initial pages of the poem talk about Odysseus and his men at sea, finding their way out of Sparta after the war.

The boy protects his father when his mother speaks badly of him. The young boy is naive and ignores the fathers lack of responsibility. This keeps the boys hope of becoming the idyllic father one day intact The relationship between the real father and his son is really controlled by expectations and the idyllic figure a father is to his son. We get the impression of the father´s lack of responsibility and capability of handling a child, through the mother’s comments on the father. The dad´s answers to the euphoric boy aren’t encouraging
The authors of "Father and I" and "Thus I Refute Beelzy" are Par Lagerkvist and John Collier. Parents and adults usually do not believe their children's imagination, they probably will not know that the children would feel so abandoned and depressive. There are some differences and similarities between these two stories, both of them are talking about the relationship between a father and a son. The fathers do not trust their children's imagination. But the difference is that the father has been being so well to his son, he brings him to the river and play with him when he has time in "Father and I".
It’s as if he is saying that he was useless and always relied on his dad, whereas his father was doing a great deal of work while maintaining his role of a father. For example, “I stumbled in his hobnailed wake…sometimes he rode me on his back, dipping and rising to his plod.” The word ‘plod’ makes it seem as if the father is tired, and even though he may be struggling, he still carries his son on his shoulders, regardless of how he himself feels. The poet shows us that the narrator strives to be exactly like his father when he’s older. This is made obvious because he says that he wanted to ‘grow up and plough’, just like his father did. After following his dad around all the time, and seeing what he does, he decides that he wants to be like him when he’s older as it has
A father's influence on his son's personal development is often unseen but nonetheless real. How a young man treats and respects women, his mother is normally a direct connection with watching how his father interacted with his mother and other women. A young man will observe how his dad or positive male role model should deal with conflict and differences and how his dad interacts with other men. He will learn how men talk, how they relate with one another and how they deal with masculine issues. One of the most intriguing aspects of The Odyssey is the relationship between Odysseus and Telemakhos, his son.
Original Novels and Film Adaptions As an avid fan of both movies and books, I often find myself wondering whether or not to buy the book after I’ve seen the movie, or vice versa. I’ve seen some terrible film adaptations and some really good ones, and some that have nothing in common except the characters’ names and the titles, but are both enjoyable in their own way. On the whole, I think I like reading an original novel better than watching its film adaption because the original novels were created by the person who knows them best. The personalities of characters may be changed and become different between the novels and the movies. The movies don’t even come close to how the books portray the characters vividly.
