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. Blacky’s self-esteem levels are low due to the negative relationship and he expects no support from his father.

During the course of the novel of ‘Deadly Unna?’ the readers are exposed to the negativity between the father and his son.
In the two short stories it seems as if the sons’ relationships with their father were quite different, but they also had their similarities because both of them cared for their son. In the story “Powder” the father took good care of his son for he continually tried to give his son what he thought was best.

He promised, hand on heart, to take good care of me and have me home for dinner on Christmas Eve” (Wolff 1).

John came from a very wealthy family which made him feel out of place because he was not the average rich, snobby kid. He wanted to make his own future for himself and not get tied down with having to please his father in every little thing he did.
