I think that if his dad would’ve been there at least for him, zits wouldn’t have to deal with the thought of not having a family and how different he is treated. I also think that if he had his father by his side he would’ve been more positive and emprendedor (Spanish word) He also deals with identity problems and acceptance within himself.

A gutless fucking wonder!’ When Blacky explains to his father about the storm, Bob insults him rather than swallow his pride and takes his son’s advice on board. The relationship that is shared between Blacky and his father has negatively impacted Blacky’s self-esteem so much that it has led to him not having faith in his own father and to expect no support. During the novel, the desertion that Bob shows toward his son leads Blacky to be more independent, and he learns to expect no support from his father, as he cannot rely on Bob to look after him. The grand final, and Dumby Red’s funeral are examples of when Gary seeks his father’s input,

The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again. Sonny probably feels like if he lets anyone get too close to him and he confides too much in someone than he will lose control, and the other members of his gang will no longer listen and respect him. In the course of the movie Sonny only looks out for himself and sometimes Cologero. For example, after Sonny accused Cologero of putting something dangerous on his car, he told him to get out of his reckless friends car and get in his car. Even though it did not seem like it, this was Sonny’s way of apologizing to Cologero for flipping out earlier in the film.

Baldwin doesn’t agree the white man is the devil, but “according to Elijah, that [he] failed to realize that the white man was a devil was that [he] had been too long exposed to white teaching and had never received true instruction” (Baldwin, 66). Baldwin was given the opportunity to become an influential part of this Islamic movement, but Baldwin does not agree with what they preach and believe. Upon leaving Baldwin “wished to be able to love and honor [Muhammad] as a witness, an ally, and a father” (Baldwin, 78), but “…would be strangers, and possibly, one day, enemies” (Baldwin, 79). Because he was so opposing to the movement’s principles to be best friends with the leader of the movement would be seen as contradictory. Being friends with Muhammad would be like Martin Luther King, Jr. befriending Malcolm X.
