Relationship Between Fern And Ran In Jo Knowles See You At Harry's

Familial relationships can change from good to bad remarkably easily, because of our personal investment in them. Think about any relationship between child and parent, it can flicker between fighting and laughing ten times a day! The novel demonstrates an extreme version of this, where ‘fighting’ has become the father’s abuse, and ‘laughing’ has become the safety the brothers feel in each other’s company. One example of this is near the end of the book, on the boat with Harry, Miles, and their dad. ‘Dad had Harry by the shoulders and he shook him like a rag doll. He dragged him out onto the deck. “These are protected waters, you idiot! You always fuck everything up. You always fuck everything!”’ The simile ‘shook him like a

Conclusively, ’By the River’ enhances how imperative key events in Harry’s life are, and how they identify personality features by shaping Harry. Examples representing this idea is when “[Harry] was fourteen when the flood swept” and leaving his best friend (Linda) dead, and “her body… [With] thirteen years’ memory.” Linda’s death further compounded his emotions as his soul mate This event compounded by the “[loss] of [his] mother” affected Harry emotionally and rested on Linda for provision, who he has now lost. Harry had also experienced his teacher, who he had become fond of, described her “eyes pale and shining”, who had now left due to becoming pregnant, and Harry seeing her “[come] downstairs with a suitcase”. This affected Harry because he was in love with Linda who he has now lost; he also loved his mother who he had also lost, and now miss Spencer, who has

Charlie experiences molestation at the hands of his “favourite person in the world”, his aunt Helen. Chbosky uses irony by Helen being his favourite person while also doing horrific things to him, we he does not know about until near the end of the novel. As an audience we discover, alongside Charlie, that he was in fact molested and abused by Helen. Through this discovery, Charlie’s entire world view is shattered and he suffers severe PTSD and eventually leads to his hospitalisation. Aunt Helen is a character which triggers two types of forgiveness within Charlie. He must learn to forgive what she did to him in order for him to heal his emotional pain. He also needs to learn to forgive himself as he has always blamed himself for the death of his aunt. She died on the way to buy him an extra Christmas present, which is heavily implied to be a way to keep the boy quiet about the molestation. Once he has forgiven himself, Charlie is able to rid himself of the guilt and start the process of achieving mental stability. The discovery of forgiveness is ultimately what transforms Charlie from a mentally distraught state to a sense of

Unlike Ed, her “hot tempered” nature and her inability to empathise with her son, has meant that she is unable to adapt to the demands of Christopher’s social barriers. This is evident in a letter in chapter 157 where she states “ Maybe if things had been differant, maybe if you'd been differant i might have been better at it. But thats just the way things turned out”. The repetition of ‘maybe’ demonstrates the initial complexity of human communication which in Christophers case, was further complicated by his social demands. Through Mark Haddon’s incorporation of a letter in this chapter, the difficulties in human communication is shown as his mother has resorted to indirect communication in explaining her reasoning for his abandonment. Although Judy lovingly and diligently cares for Christopher she struggles with the frustration she feels as a result of not always being able to understand her son’s behaviour. This ideology is further reiterated through the comparison in the letter between Ed and Judy seen in “Your father is a much more pacient person. He just gets on with things.. But that’s not the way i am…” Haddon’s characterisation of Christopher’s parents presents to the responder the conflicting side of love, the multi-faceted and complicated nature of human interaction, and the opposing approaches of both parents in communicating and dealing with Christopher’s condition, as part of their
