In a Bronx Tale, there are a ton of different groups in the movie. With the main character Calogero, he starts off in the group of his friends and family. By taking the bus with his dad because of his job of a bus driver and with his friends they goof off and have fun. Once Calogero sees someone get shot while he is sitting on his stoup, he is questioned by the police if he saw anything. When he said no the 'MOBSTERS' befriended him and his family. Sonny, the leader, took Calogero under his wing almost as his right hand man. Calogero started to change groups when Sonny gave him the nickname 'C' because everyone has a nickname. I would put C and Sunny in their own group because Sonny always looked out for C like a son. C never really hung out with the other people part of Sonny’s crew. For example, when Sonny dies, C is the only one who really pays respect because he was the only one who didn’t fear him. “It’s just like Sonny said it would be ‘Nobody cares’.”
C belonged to a lot of groups in the movie such as the interracial group, by dating Jane who is African American. Sonny’s group, his childhood friend(s) group, and his family he also belonged to. C’s master status would have to be an all around ‘Good Guy’ because he puts aside the racial aspects and goes for what he believes in. I do think that his status changes throughout the movie because at first he joined along with his friends and gained up on the African Americans while later on when he grows up he practically saves them from being beaten to death. He grew as a person in and out of his groups. My own master status would have to be ‘Friend, daughter, sister’ at the moment. It hasn’t changed throughout my life so much that I would have to change my status right now, unlike C. I am still a sister, friend, and daughter. Those will never change.
Its really neat to see how love does last more than fear and i agree in our own lives theres so many changes in the "groups" we would say we are a part of
