Blog #8 Rocks

In the chapter Rocks in "Black Swan Green" we are brought closer to the parents of Jason Taylor. The father figures in the story are all shown as negative influences to the their family's. Jason's father who consistently needs to feel as the superior person in the family, the family has been a victim to this effect of the father figures continually. Jason's father has been setting rules for the family which then includes Helena. Helena wanted to purchase a rockery fop the backyard to their house, but Michael states that he is the money maker of the family and finds the rockery underlay useless and simply just does not buy it. The secrecy that the father had shown to the family in multiple occasions is one of the main reasons that relationship between the mother and father is in the middle of a pitfall, this pitfall is not only effecting the parents, but as well as effecting the children of the family. Jason and Julia have now gotten closer to each other due to their family problems.
