A Bronx Tale

These neighborhoods were strictly white from back. If a black guy so called an "outsider" steps foot on the italian guys neighborhood, chaos occurs and things get out of control. Both groups think that their neighborhoods are there own personal space, and if they believe someone is not meant to be in that area they will literally do anything in there power to hurt that individual. This relates to last week because Sonny and his Crew were making un-accurate generalizations aka " stereotyping" people who they believe shouldn't even be living on this earth. Who made Sonny the leader of his Crew? How come he has all the power, and how come people fear someone, more then love someone? When I stood up in class last week because I named myself "The Driver" I realized I just labeled my own self. Why do we have to label? Why can't everyone just get along and truly understand who they are by actually listening to them rather then judging them by there looks. We have to understand that words are just as hurtful, and we have to be careful with what we say. We also have to understand that everyone is different and we can learn to deal with the differences in people rather then lowering there self-esteem. At the end of the Movie when C's Dad showed up at Sonny's funeral it showed that even though he had problems with Sonny, he loved his son, and he wanted to show him that he could put those differences aside for a little and show some respect. Life is too short to fight, and deal with regret, and more americans today need to understand that.
