In class this week we've been watching A Bronx Tale, and this movie is really very good, entertaining and interesting. Collogero, the main character, is a boy who is growing up in the Bronx tyring to find his identity or path. Be in the mafia with Sonny, the unspoken neighborhood leader, or to be a loyal son. This relates to the activity, where we needed to define the groups we're apart of such as Stevenson friends, family, religion etc. If i were to categorize Collogero, he'd be in a group with his family, Sonny's crew, individually Sonny, his childhood friends, and his relationship with Jane. Now when Collogero was a young boy his master status was with his father, but as he's grown older it's changed to his relationship with Sonny.
I would also like to comment on the interview with Chaz on your page, his story didn't seem real until he was interviewed. He was great and he had something really important to say, "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent". So many people have an opportunity but can screw it up through drugs, bad habits, violence etc. My absolute favorite quote from the interview was when he said "this wasn't just a fluke and I just happen to knock on the right door, no, the people who knock on all the doors all the time make it." This really hit home for me and relates because being a Junior and wanting to pursue a sport in college is hard work and I'm constantly sending letters and emails to these coaches. This quote is so true!!!
