In ‘Follower,' such exposure is clearly conveyed in the last three lines of the poem, whereby Heaney comments ‘But today it is my father who keeps stumbling behind me, and will not go away.’ His diction ‘stumbling’ makes the audience infer that Heaney now thinks of his father in a slightly negative way, as he is unsteady and weakened by age. This also creates a parallel image with Heaney himself: when he was younger, he ‘stumbled’ and ‘fell sometimes.’ The similarity created between a toddler and his father shows what Heaney sees in his father: someone who is feeble and old.

The dead boy symbolizes the how the narrator feels. The flashback during his father’s funeral states, “Ray was dragging the kid by the shoulders” but at the end “Trevor was dead” (My Father Running with a Dead Boy 447).

The lost of their fathers are a big impact on theirs lives and a big impact on the novel. David’s mom died when he was a younger boy, but David’s dad died when David was seventeen years old.

The absence of his biological father added to the yearn to know his roots, where he came from and who he was, as he became older. James struggled with identity for a great deal of his life after his stepfather, who seemed to be the emotional stability for the family, died. James was supposed to take care of the family after his stepfather died, but instead he dropped out of school, ran the streets, and picked up a bad habit of his stepfather’s- drinking.

Me Myself and Irene The main character of the movie and the subject of my psychological analysis is named Charlie Baileygates. Charlie married his soulmate Layla but almost immediately after getting married, Layla had an affair with an African-American man named Shontey. About three years later Layla left Charlie for Shontey leaving Charlie to take care of three bi-racial children who were conceived due to the affair.

When Charlie’s mind improves and he starts to become smarter than everyone else, is it an advantage or a difficulty?
