Groups

Collogero was apart of a lot of groups. One group that he was involved with was his friends. In the group of his friends, he plays a role as a friend to them. Another group he was part of was his neighborhood. Another group I would put him in would be an Italian group. Throughout the movie, he seems to be proud to be Italian and it goes hand in hand with the neighborhood. I would not put him into Sunny's group, but I would put him in a group with Sonny. Sonny didn't treat Collogero the same way that he treated everyone else. He treated him more like a son, protecting him from bad things. He would watch over him and give him advice as a father would to his own son. Collogero would also be in a group with his mother and father. Although when Collogero got older and hung out more with sonny than his own father, when he was a child he really looked up to his father. Another group he would be put in was one that is not racist. Although he doesn't stand up out loud to his friends about the African Americans, he doesn't really think there doing anything wrong. The neighborhood and friends had influenced him to call African Americans bad names. I think that Collogero's master status was Sonny. I think this because he would always look up to Sonny and he talked to him a lot. A lot of the things Collogero did were things that Sonny allowed or that Sonny did not allow. I think at the beginning of the movie Collogero's father would be his master status, but after growing up, Sonny was his master status.
