Fighting against the Japanese in Burma was something to be proud of, but never once did Jada's father boast of his almighty work. He was a typical working class male who worked hard and died young, his slow death was due cancer but sadly Jada did not know that he was on the path to death.
Gus's drinking problems were linked to his father; alcohol was a way to blank him out. Alike all the other fathers we never actually saw him, only when Gus gazed at the window watching his silhouette beat up his helpless mother. His dad had never given him any encouragement whether it had been in his football matches or in his future career. He allows Gus to roam the street, smoke and drink, which eventually lead to his death. The only source to an insight of the fathers is through the boys"; from the film I came to the conclusion that Boyle's lack of representation was to help emphasis a lack of support, leading to a lack of success.
While fathers have an influence on their sons, teachers have an equally important impact. As acknowledged in Greenock during the post war period the fathers were represented very badly, and the other most important social group in a child's life, teachers, were also to our distaste. Snodgrass was the first teacher introduced in the film, his name implies a strict, cruel nature, exactly the effect Boyle wanted to create. Throughout the film he continued to use the belt in several incidents and was more than happy for his lesson to be dreaded by all pupils. He was a history teacher and often bragged about fighting in World War Two, which was principally to scare his pupils. His role was quite ironic as he talked boldly about civilisation, when he was actually a very uncivilised man himself.
Drinking during school hours was prohibited but Big Mac did not really abide by the rules and showed signs of irresponsibility in doing so. Again he was strict and used the belt as a dividing line, between himself and the pupils, forbidding them to interact as teachers and pupils should do.
