i think big c belongs to a ton of groups. hes first a male and a human. he's italian and a member of the bronx. he's in sonnys gang, and hes also like a son to sonny. hes part of the younger section of the gang, and the older. i think hes both in sonnys crew by affiliation with sonny, but he is definetly more of just a group with sonny. hes also a part of the black group, more specifically his relationship with the black girl (dont remember her name haha). also he's american, a young adult, and somewhat poor. he was (key word was) a member of new york yankees lovers, but because of sonny that died. he's in a schooling group, but hes also in a group for living and thinking on the street (he's got two educations, school and the streets). i think c's master status is a bronx kid. i think this because it kind of encompasses everything he is into one group. everything can be traced back to where he lives, he is shaped by his surroundings. it seems like a general thing, but to me i think it sums up really well who he is and who/what made him who he is. sure his dad and sonny have had huge impacts (just an example), but if not for the bronx, he wouldnt be at all like he is. he is almost forced into the kind of person he is just by where he lives. wow. thats pretty mind boggling haha. lastly tho, i think his master status will change in the future, cause i honestly dont think he'd live in the bronx all his life...well ya never know... but ya now that all thats done i just want to make a pretty crazy reference to the movie bronx tale, theres a song by Jedi Mind Tricks (rap group) called The Darkest Throne (no idea why) on the album Legacy of Blood, and for the whole 45 seconds is the clip from when c as a kid is confessing his sins to the priest...you can imagine my reaction to this when first hearing it haha
