This past week we watched a movie named, The Bronx Tale. This movie was about a kid who goes through stages of his both good and bad. Although, some were bad he also had good memories of him and his dad going to the New York Yankees baseball games to watch baseball and spend time with the old timer. The little boy's nickname is "C" and this movie is mostly about how he grows up from his childhood until about the age of 18. C changed as he grew up compared to when he was just a little boy. C saw a shooting in front of his apartment and didn't claim who it was even though he knew because that was how the society was in which he grew up in. Even though C kept a straight face and didn't verbally say who the killer was to the police when he had questions, that shows character on C's part. Growing up, C loved to ride the bus with his father and rang the bell whenever there was a bus stop. But things changed as C got older. As C got older he hung out with the wrong friends and even though he didn't think so Sonny looked out for him. C's friends died after Sonny pulled him out of the car because he knew they were bad people. C started to change once he reached his teenage years because of his bad friends and showed it emotionally towards his peers, such as his friends and family. C's neighborhood was very racist because when other ethnic groups drove or crossed town, they were going to get beat up or even killed. That was "one's territory" and you couldn't go into or else bad things were coming your way. C had changed overtime because he realized they were much alike except from their skin colors, and that they shouldn't be treated differently.
