The neighborhood that Collogero lived in was seperated into different parts and each part meant something and was respected. In Collogero's neighborhood everybody feared and respected Sonny. Sonny was part of a mob or gang that controlled their neighborhood( Italian). However, Collogero's father wanted nothing to do with Sonny and his gang but, he respected him. Although Collogero's father wanted to do with Sonny, Collogero was like a son to Sonny, he always listened to Sonny and always thought he was right. Sonny always got him out of trouble.
Collogero's neighborhood was seperated by a bridge and the next neighborhood over they were not not supposed to go through(blacks), it was an unwritten law that everyone knew. Each time an Italian or Black would go into another one's neighborhood they were looked at very differently and everyone we cuss them out and stare at them. However, Collogero did not want to be a part of it even though his friends would. He just went along with them so his friends wouldn't think he was a coward.
