The Relationship Between A Father Gouichi Takata And His Son Kenichi

One of the first memory moments is about him and his dad practicing at the park. They then were talking about football and then Tommy’s father said “Everyone wanted to play offence…” He was talking about how all of his friends and pretty much everyone else who wants to play offence instead of defence. But Tommy and his dad play defence I feel like that brings a connection from Tommy’s dad to Tommy. It adds a person vs. person conflict. Tommy is sad since, he and his father won't have that connection ever again because he is gone.

Siddhartha, however, did not understand his father’s perspective until he became a father. Siddhartha’s son was eleven when they first met and therefore they were unable to establish a strong relationship. His child was arrogant, hateful and spoiled; the exact opposite of himself. Siddhartha chose to counter this behavior only with love, and not with punishment or rebuke. His son quickly grew tired of this and fled from his father, hoping never to return. This left Siddhartha upset and wounded. Nevertheless, it was necessary for Siddhartha to experience such extreme loss to realize how he had affected his father. When he left his father, Siddhartha also instilled pain without realizing the result of his actions. Although this did not completely heal his wound, Siddhartha was able to chuckle at the irony of how his son acted exactly as he had; how events had a manner of working in circles. Siddhartha’s son’s actions revealed to him the pain he inflicted on his own father. They also made him remember the immense love and fear he has towards his father.

The next couple of lines portray the idea that it is only through the mother that the father and son are united. In life, her presence and assurances that they are alike linked them, and once she is gone, there is little to bring them together except their shared grief, which as they are so emotionally divided they find impossible to communicate.

Although, as presented by Existentialism, one cannot be their true self until one has defined themselves. First, one must create their authentic selves, then they must live according to that (Varga). The father and the boy have strong principles to do what is right, even when their fellow survivors have completely abandoned morality altogether.

This depicts that the father will do anything and everything to assure that the boy lives. The father expresses that “He knew only that the child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke” (5). When a man holds a knife to the son's neck, the father does not hesitate to kill him. Although this is

A relationship between a father and son can have a decidedly profound impact on each other’s lives. Whether this relationship is bifurcated, the psychological effects of having an intimate or inadequate parenting skills can have a nurturing or depriving effect on a child's personality from birth all throughout adulthood. This relationship although sustained has the potential to be either beneficial or untenable. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, we see a breakdown between a father and son relationship which created a very detrimental effect. The carved figure of a son that Okonkwo had predicted was erased due to his egoistic character and his terrible parenting skills.

Father and son relationships are the most important type of relationship. Fathers heavily influence their children especially sons, thus making the relevant. In the book Things Fall Apart there are two father son relationships, Unoka and Okonkwo and Okonkwo and Nwoye. These relationships are not ideal and each father has a different relation with their son. These relationships cause many things such as loathing of one's father, and rebelling. Rebelling for the sons is not a phase, but a lifetime of rebellion. Father son relationships in the book Things Fall Apart are defined by the loathing of one’s father, causing a rebellion leading the sons to be complete opposites of their father.

Miyazaki also introduces to the audience the importance of one’s name. From the moment she gets a job from Yubaba the bathhouse owner, Chihiro is bound under a contract that magically changes her name to Sen. If it had not been for a goodbye card from a friend, Chihiro would have forgotten her real name. As for Haku, he has not been able to recall his own name for years. When he does remember later in the film, his eyes are opened and he undergoes emotional and physical changes. Another aspect of Japanese folklore involved in the film highlights passing through spaces which mark a separation between one world and another. Areas like the bridge to the bathhouse, and the tunnel to the abandoned theme park represent this part of Japanese culture. However, the most important cultural aspect included in the film is the original title. When women or children suddenly disappeared and could not be located for a long period of time, it was assumed “‘they had met kamikakushi,’” as Reider puts it. Once they come back from Kamikakushi, they are believed to be socially resurrected. One could say that in the film Chihiro meets her own Kamikakushi during the time she is away from her parents.
