In The Boat by Alistair Macleod the mother and father are presented as opposites. The mother is the character trying to keep the tradition alive, whereas the father is the character who is looking forward to the changes. The mother does not want any tourists in her town and does not want her family to go out and spend time with the people who do not come from the village. The father was encouraging the change to happen, and he was kind enough to take the tourists out for a ride on his boat.

I believe anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

"When I was about ten years old my father took me to another beautiful place in Yosemite National Park. It was a very small lake and in its centre there was a large rock. I saw some older children sunning themselves on the rock and wanted to join them but my father didn't want me to.

In 1361 B.C. an insignificant 8 year old boy ascended to the throne of Egypt. His father, the Pharaoh, was a much loathed heretic who had abandoned Egypt’s traditions and had installed one god in place of the many that had been previously worshipped.
