A Bronx Tale

       For a few days in class, we watched A Bronx Tale. This movie is the story of Chazz Palminteri's life, growing up in New York, but was seen through the eyes of a boy named Calogero. This movie contained many subjects we have discussed in class. For instance, the groups he belonged to were he and Sonny, he and his friends, he and his family, he and Jane, and being Italian. The microsociologial aspects of his racism were what his friends and family said and a macrosociological aspect was the overpass that divided the two neighborhoods. Relating to the social construction of reality, some unwritten rules of the Italian neighborhood was that you didn't rat on on people and you stuck by your friends and family. All of these subjects are part of what shaped Calogero. He became who he was because of the choices he made, the location he was brought up in, and the people he surrounded himself with.  Perhaps Calogero would have had a completely different life it he told the police he saw Sonny shoot that man. I  bet we all think about this at some point, how making one decision would make a difference in all the other aspects of our life. This idea makes me think more seriously about the implications of the decisions I make. Because you never really know for sure what is going to happen in the future, I think it is important to contemplate how what you do may affect yourself and others.
