A Bronx Tale

        In the movie, "Bronx Tale", a true story is examined through many years of life situations of an Italian boy as he grew up. This boy, Calogero, is surrounded by different groups but also belongs to many as well. Many of these groups include Calogero's Italian friends, an African American girl he meets and wants to be with, his family, and Sonny and his crew. But within those groups it breaks up even farther. I do not believe that C is really in the group of Sonny's crew, but of Sonny himself. Sonny treats C differently. He tells him to finish school and to never become like him. He acts like so much of a father figure that even C's own father intervenes. This is why I believe that C's masterstatus would be "son". Throughout the entire movie, it is just different events that both of his father figures are trying to teach him about real life situations as well as trying to protect him. As I wrote about before, masterstatuses impact our lives greatly. They are the people who impact you the greatest in life. Personally, my masterstatus would be "daughter" and "sister" because at this age I still spend a lot of time with my family. My parents are supportive of everything I do and I know my brothers would do anything for me. As life goes on, these status can change. I believe, for example, that when we go off to college, the less time you spend with your family and the more time you spend with friends or mentor figures, the status can shift. Personally, I feel like my masterstatus will not change, like Calogero's, because I have been so impacted through my parents and brother like C through his father and Sonny, that as things change, we can still never forget what originally made us the person we are today.
