Collogero's World

In class this week, we watched a movie, A Bronx Tale. It was about a boy growing up in a very Italian neighborhood. Sadly, I missed a couple days of school & did not get to see the end of the movie :[, but from what I did see... you could really see how the main character, Collogero, was apart of several groups in the neighborhood. He was apart of his family, his group of friends, Sonny & him were his own group, & he was of course apart of Sonny's crew.
At the beginning of the movie I would say his master status was with his family or even his group of friends... he was always with his friends & obviously he was the son of his parents, but was the movie went on & he got closer to Sonny & his friends it all changed. By the end of the movie (or the last part I saw) Collogero's master status changed. He was more apart of Sonny's group. He was always with him & its interesting to see how spending time with certain people can really change the kind of person you are. Collogero was behaving more & more like Sonny. This really shows that a person's friends can really influence who they are. The more you hang out with someone the more you start to act like them.
