During the course of the novel of ‘Deadly Unna?’ the readers are exposed to the negativity between the father and his son. This affects Blacky in way that his self-esteem is almost non-existent, and the negativity is prominent throughout the novel. Examples of the neglect shown by his father are that of the time when Bob refers to Blacky as a ‘gutless wonder’, and the journey we take through the story of Blacky’s deteriorating respect for him. The ‘gutless wonder’ incident was a influential part of the novel, as Blacky realises that his Dad isn’t one to take advice of someone he feels is inferior than him, thus saying, ‘My own son, a gutless wonder. A gutless fucking wonder!’ When Blacky explains to his father about the storm, Bob insults him rather than swallow his pride and takes his son’s advice on board.
His lack of knowledge allows him to do things he thought it would be ‘cool’ and to be accepted in the group because his ‘friends’ told him to, a clear representation of peer pressure. By having him being clueless and unaware of what was going on, this enchants his vulnerability to Peer Pressure. His parents whom Derek was very fond of disapproved Chris very much, but Derek chose to ignore the fact and kept going with Chris, dominating his life. Chris would make Derek do things he didn’t want to, such as drinking, smoking and sneaking out at night, only to do things that he
The thoughts of his friends degrading him for eating “Asian” food for lunch dwelled in his subconscious for months, or perhaps even years. Pedro’s solution was simple: get rid of the traditional Asian food and eat whatever everyone else eats, which was Lunchables. He simply wanted to fit in and not be teased anymore. He felt utter humiliation, so refraining himself from bringing what his mom packed him for
Christopher Boone is quite the unique child with quite the different outlook on life. Christopher is extremely sharp and very nosy so much so that it gets him into trouble his character is quite entertaining aggravating and funny. Reading this book showed me just what contributed to Christopher’s character for example his parents both Judy and Ed Boone, their parenting and life choices that ultimately led Christopher on the path to how he has grown up and dealt with his emotions, but as well as that contributing to Christopher’s character being judge from the world outside clearly has had some sort of effect on Christopher. At the beginning of the book we get to know Christopher, we learn very quickly he is a sharp young man. An example
Roy, like Dwight, influences Toby’s relationship with his mother and forces Toby to withhold the truth from her. Toby goes on to resent this control and deception and rebel against it. Toby’s skewed perception of masculinity is similarly impacted by his father’s ‘desertion’. Whilst Wolff’s discussion of his father’s neglect is minimal, a deeper impact and lesson of real value becomes evident in Wolff’s snapshot of himself as a father. It is, in part, because of his father’s ‘inconstant parent(ing)’ that Wolff feels such a
Journeys offer new viewpoints about something or someone and provide strong relationship and understanding such as Ant’s viewpoint changed about his father.

Although constant evil swirls around Bruno, he is able to hang on to his innocence, which shields him from the knowledge of the situation he is in, but ultimately leads to his and Shmuel’s downfall. Bruno’s innocence becomes quite apparent throughout the course of the novel. He portrays this childish innocence through his lack of understanding on many of the changes that have been happening in his life. Bruno portrays this quite clearly by asking his father : "Did you do something bad in work? I know that everyone says you're an important man and that the Fury has big things in mind for you, but he'd hardly send you to a place like this if you hadn't done something that he wanted to punish you for."
His father tries to bridge this gap with complicated questions such as “what is x if 7x2 is 49? His mother tries by asking Stephen to invite Keith over, something that Stephen almost laughs at her- “She doesn’t understand anything, and I couldn’t begin to explain.” Geoff bridges the gap by making fun of him. Stephen is embarrassed by his father’s words, by his mother’s plainness and even by himself. “Why do we have an embarrassing name like Wheatley?” an ironic statement, since we find out Wheatley isn’t his real name and his parents chose it because they thought it would help the boys to fit in more! However, at least his parents acknowledge him.

Both honest mistakes that he didn’t even know he made. The ignorance shown towards Lennie in the novel was due to the time period and the people’s lack of knowledge. People in the story like “The boss” just thought that Lennie wasn’t smart because he just didn’t talk much unless it was to his best friend George. There was ignorance in Raymond because his brother thought that he could remove Ray from his schedules at his home and take him with him. The Ignorance was that Ray needed those schedules or he will have a fit.
