COLIN MC'GINNIGHAM

- 19 years of age at present.
- Not as smart as John, C grade student.
- 6'1 and 11 stones.
- Despises father who left the family.
Colin is significantly bigger than John to show the contrast in roles and attitudes towards both characters.The fact that the father cowardly walked out on the family due to his lack of responsibility at such a young age is a base to the theme of "Manhood" as instead of stepping up to being father like a man, he walked out and the family.
