A Bronx Tale(Groups)

What are all the groups that Collogero belongs to? (Think in terms of the circles exercise we did in class.) Would you put him in Sonny’s crew, or would you put him and Sonny in their own crew? What is Collogero’s Master Status? Why do you think so? Do you think his master status changes throughout the movie?

Collogero, or C., belongs to his family, his friends, being italian, his school, and he and Sonny's own group. They are definentely in their own group, which is kind of mentioned in the movie, with Sonny telling him that he doesn't want C. to be like him. It's much more of a one on one experience between the two, with Sonny being a surrogate father. Overall, I think his master status is his family, specifically being his father's son. I don't think it ever changes, because it's just too much part of who he is. He struggles with this, yes, but I think that it's always a defining part of him, specifically the "Wasted Talent" bit.
