Relationship Between Chingachgook And Unca

In these two stories, both authors depict the condition of his/her parent/child relationship in spatial terms and their perception of gradual changes by expressing the hardship of understanding affection from each of their father during their childhood. Although these two are connected, each author has different conditions in terms of relationship with their own father and ways of describing to depict their stories. After analyzing each story, I believe that Brad Manning’s “Arm Wrestling with My Father” wins over Sarah Vowell’s “Shooting Dad” in terms of sharing with the readers about his relationship with his father more vividly.

Because the father was so involved with himself, he did not make the time or put the effort to develop a proper relationship with his son.

Their relationship changes numerous times throughout the short story, beginning with two men leading separate lives and being relatively unconcerned with each other, and acting more or less like acquaintances, rather than a father and son. “At that moment I realised he was speaking to me not as a father... but as he would speak to a friend, to anyone, and it undid me” (pp.22). However,

In their recent work, Brad Manning and Sarah Vowell have written about more than one way to have a close, but different relationship with their fathers. There is has always been a belief that to get along with someone you would have normal conversations, enjoy each other’s company, or share a common interest. In the story they love their father as any other child would, but their ways of communication are not the same and are different from a common father-child relationship. Both authors use rhetorical devices as a framework for differentiating their relationships with their fathers by characterizing them.

Both “Arm Wrestling with My Father” and “Shooting Dad” written by Brad Manning and Sarah Vowell, respectively, portrays a damaged and rough relationship that a son and/or daughter holds with his father. Although they both find themselves struggling, they are dealing with different things, Manning is dealing with a physical bounding, while Vowell finds herself handling a more emotional and communicative type of bonding. Eventually, both characters find themselves in a mature relationship over time. The characters had similarities and also differences with their respective father. Throughout the stories, both authors dig into the relationship between child and father and how it can be shaped and changed over time.

In the book Okay for Now, written by Gary D. Schmidt is about a boy named Doug that left all his friends behind and had to customize to his new town named Marysville. In Marysville he had many struggles. Some of them were about his father. His father was more like a bully. He is always abusing his son and never being a supportive and caring father. In this book, there are other people who are like a father figure to Doug. A father figure is someone who acts like a role model towards someone.

In “Arm Wrestling with My Father,” Brad Manning writes about the relationships he has had with his father. He shares how they’re relationship has changed throughout his life once he came to a realization. In “Shooting Dad,” Sarah Vowell also writes about her relationship with her father and the differences in opinion between the two of them. Both authors end their essays by coming to a realization about their fathers. Although both authors have similar experiences with their fathers, they come to different realizations.

The poor parenting reflects in Crake’s cold behaviour towards his own ‘children’. Even though Crake goes through all the trouble to carefully construct and perfect his own creation, the ‘Crakers’, he refuses to see or speak to them and chooses Jimmy to look after the Crakers while Oryx teaches them. Because his father has passed away and he has absolutely no communication with his mother he becomes lost in the science and mathematics of his

A father’s role in Native American society, plays a large role in their son’s identity. A father is viewed by their child as the “hero” or a great role model. But also sometimes a father isn’t always there for a child or gives them reason to view in a hateful way. In Sherman Alexie’s works, we see different father roles, both good and bad, and the effect it eventually has on their son’s.

Our first character, Cash, the oldest child of the Bundren family, has a very close relationship with his mother and displays many actions in the novel that shows his inner feelings and portrayals while still being

The role of a father could be a difficult task when raising a son. The ideal relationship between father and son perhaps may be; the father sets the rules and the son obeys them respectfully. However it is quite difficult to balance a healthy relationship between father and son, because of what a father expects from his son. For instance in the narratives, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences” both Willy and Troy are fathers who have a difficult time in earning respect from their sons, and being a role model for them. Between, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences,” both protagonists, Willy and Troy both depict the role of a father in distinctive ways; however, in their struggle, Willy is the more sympathetic of the two.

For instance, within the primary dysfunctional family, many relationships are developed, which include two unbearable children, a power hungry dad, a hectic wife tending to her baby, and an unendurable grandmother. These relationships bring out other dynamics within the characters and the family (Lambert 2009). For instance, although both the father and grandmother are strict in ensuring that the children be respectful, on their part, they do not set an example that can be emulated within the family. First, the grandmother advises her grandchildren to be respectful, and then she goes ahead, making a profane racially prejudiced remark almost immediately (McCann, Jr 2011). At the same time, the head of the family—the father of the children, Bailey, requests the children to conduct themselves accordingly. However, confronted by a tense situation, Bailey loses his temper and threatens the family telling them that if they did not shut up, they would not go anywhere (Katharina 4).
