Although some might still defend civilization and follow their morals without concrete rules, the majority, that have returned to their savage instincts, eventually annihilates them. A character that becomes savage with the absence of rules is Roger. The reader learns about his malicious nature early in the novel, when he throws stones at Henry.

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.
