Eddie
was a child who attend(ed)s
school in 2013 where as Henry was a child who attended school in 1822. This is
where their differences stem from.
Eddie goes home and becomes ‘too busy killing things, while talking on Skype to his friend’; making recreational use of modern day technology. Obviously in 1822, young Henry could not have done this and instead goes ‘to church’ and writes ‘letters’ in order communicate instead of skype.
Henry’s relationship with his father is also very different to the one Eddie has. For example, he writes the letter in a very formal way, signing it off as ‘your respectful son’ and addresses his father as ‘my dear father’. This is different to how Eddie treats his dad, as Eddie jokily remarks "you can’t think of one can you?" as to ‘take the micky out of’ his father. This shows how Eddie has less respect for his father than Henry does; this is also shown when Eddie ‘doesn’t look up from his computer' when his dad enters.
Eddie also appears to enjoy school which is connoted when he ‘announced’ what he was doing in english at the dinner table. Henry on the other hand clearly does not enjoy school as he has the ‘worst’ meals and would ‘work all my life time than remain here’
