Like she asks him if he’s got a cigarette, which you shouldn’t be asking your son if he has a cigarette because then she will have no care what so ever for her child. When Jud kills Kes Billy comes running in saying ”what have you done with Kes you ba*stard? ” he says I haven’t done anything but then Mrs. Casper says ”what have you done with it Jud”, he says ”nowt”. ”Billy runs to his mum and tried to bury his face in her.

She held him off, embarrassed” she tells him to just to get another one, where it has taking time to train the kestrel and she knows how much it meant to him.

Then he goes off running and gets the kestrel out the bin and berries it on the backfield. Mr Farthing is the only character that is viewed as a positive influence on Billy. He is a good teacher to Billy he takes interest in him and tries to persuade him to get on with his work.

Asking Billy how the cane was, like another teacher would say to Billy you’ve been bad like you al ways are, but Mr. Farthing ask him how it was ”`Sting? ” ”Not bad” ”Right, sit down then” FACT AND FICTION He asked Anderson to share a fact with us he shared one and then Mr. Farthing asks Billy he had head under the table inspecting his hands.

His hands were pink and stinging. Mr. Farthing asks Billy to tell some stories ”Right, now you can do some work for a change.

You’re going to tell us any story about yourself, the same as Anderson did. ” ` Billy doesn’t want too, read anything he struggles at school, but Mr. Farthing encourages him too tell stories, he starts off saying a couple of words then goes on too a story about Kes. He tells the class about how he trained it and everything. Everyone was surprised and listening carefully to what Billy had to say, ” So you’ve to be right patient, an’ all t’time you’re her you’ve to talk to her, all soft like, like you do to a baby.

Mr. Farthing and the class was very impressed with Billy , they enjoyed it and give him a splatter of applause. Billy knew it was a sense of achievement , he was proud of himself, because he rarely achieves anything in class. Mr. Sugden is Billy’s PE teacher and is portrayed as a self obsessed person he cares more about himself than his students, he is impeccably dressed, wearing a violet tracksuit all clean and shining, he was displaying his badges and awards as if he was he best. He is self obsessed, he loves himself.

The legs were tucked into new white football socks, neatly folded at his ankles, his football boots were a shiny as the queen’s fork before she has used it. He picked up a football and looked at Billy. ”Skiving again, Casper? ” ”No, sir, Mr. Farthing wanted me; he’s been talking to me. Mr Sudgen carried on to bully Billy saying he was being bad in Mr. Farthing’s lesson. They all started to get changed and Billy was just stood there, ”some of us want a game even if you don’t” ”I’ve no kit sir” Mr Sugden starts to impersonate Billy by making a childish voice out of him ”I’ve got no kit sir”

Mr. Sudgen looked at Billy as if he was nothing, Billy never had his kit, ”Casper, you make me SICK! ” Every lesson Casper says he has no kit, he hasn’t had his kit for four years. He never makes any attempt to get a kit, he either skives or borrows kits from other people, everyone else can seem to get a kit but Casper can’t get one, Billy’s mum wont buy him a kit. ”I don’t know, sir. My mother says it’s a waste of money, especially now I’m leaving. ” Mr. Sugden bounced the ball on Billy’s head, he loves to humiliate him. He brings him back some giant shorts.

”Here Casper, get them on” he threw them across them to the room they were huge, everyone and Billy knew they wouldn’t fit him, ”they’ll not fit me, sir. ” Everyone started laughing even Billy pulled off a little smile. His mum wont buy him a kit, because it’s a ”waste” of money, now that his leaving, but he hasn’t been leaving for four years. ”you could of bought some out of your spending money, couldn’t you? ” Billy doesn’t really like football, so he’s not really keen on it, that’s why he probably didn’t buy a kit.

Every time he has P. E, Mr. Sugden always wants to do P. E. Mr. Sugden tells him to get a job but he’s already got one but he cant buy a kit because he has to pay his fines for instalments every week because he gets in trouble all the time.
