Think it over...

Which character do you feel more sympathy for: Bodega, Chino, or Sapo? Why? Is it because you like him or is there another reason?

I would have to say that out of these three characters I feel most sorry and sad for Sapo. Its really quite simply the way I see it. Bodega has extreme power and is well liked in the community. Chino is an educated man with a wife and child and things look pretty good for him thus far. Yet where does this leave Sapo. He is still this drug peadling middle man for Bodega who can't seem to get his life on track. Everyone around him are situations that better themselves while he is still doing the same things for the same reasons, in which case he has nothing good to show for it, like Chino and Bodega

i agree with steve. Bodega is very well known in the community, and has immense power. Chino is doing pretty well also... he has a wife, and is going to be having a child, and he just got a nice new apartment. Chino, and bodega for the most part are doing pretty well. Sapo on the other hand, doesn't really have much. From what we have seen so far nobody really seems to like him except for chino, even though he uses him for his drug deals on several occasions. Sapo really seems to be getting nowhere wiht his life, so i definitely feel sympathy for him,

Jimmy said...

I would agree with both of them, I feel most sorry for Sapo. Bodega is the head guy in the neighborhood and is very well iked in the community as spinelli said. Chino with the kid and the wife isn't living too badly and is working on a better life for his family. Sapo isn't smart, has no career goals, and doesn't want to do anything except what he is doing right now. Sapo has nothing going for him and I feel sorry for him. And yes I won but our team got beat, a very close and exciting match

i have the most sympathy for Sapo the most. As all of them said, Bodego runs shit in the neighborhood and Chino has a nice family. Sapo really doesn't have anything going for him except his reputation. I feel like Sapo acts tough to hide himself of the fear of no family and not that many friends.

Sapo is a man who deserves no sympathy. From the days of his youth he has been a troublemaker, and he is simply paying the price for his sins. From being a child who took and sold drugs, started fights and committed other dastardly deeds, you cannot say that he did not have this coming for him. Sapo in my eyes deserves the least amount of sympathy, for karma is touching him and he should be seeing the error of his ways. Men like Willie Bodega and Chino are receiving no outside hints to show the error of their ways, and are therefore naive to the evils of their ways!

david said...

I agree with spinelli on this one. Sapo has a lot of hardship in his life and not alot of people to help him.Chino and bodega have family to go to Sapo is on his own. All three of them have problems but none more then sapo and I feel the most sympathy for him.

I would have to say that i feel most sorry for Sapo. He doesnt have many positve things going for him in his life and is in risk with all his drug dealing. The fact that he looks like a toad doesnt help either. Chino has a beautiful wife and is very educated and Bodega has mad jones and most respected man in the city.

go jimmy! ha. i feel bad for sapo the most cause like everybody here pretty much said he has nothing in life to look foward to. he is so stuck in the drug game and cant get himself out so ya.

Gina said...

I would say that I feel the most sympathy for Sapo. The way he grew up led him to dealing drugs and doing bad things. Chino and Bodega both have possitive things going in their lives. For example Bodega has the respect of many people and also a lot of power. Chino has Blanca, a beautiful wife, and also a baby on the way. The way I see it Sapo doesn't really have anything going for him at the moment and in my opinion he deserves the most sympathy.

dschoenbach said...

I gotta agree with almost everybody. I feel most sorry for Sapo. At least at the moment, Sapo doesn't seem to have much goin for him. His childhood seems to have led him to drug dealing. Bodega and Chino both seem to be doin ok. Bodega has power and money and respect from many. Chino has a wife and kid on the way and now a new place to live and he's in college, he's educated. Sapo just helps out with Bodega and sometimes hangs with Chino, but now it's rare.

dschodes said...

i feel bad for chino b.c i think he has a pretty good life; he has a kid on the way, he's in college, and he has a beautiful wife but the reason why i'm sympathetic for him is b.c deep down he is still a "gangsta" and he's getting dragged into doing all these things by sapo that any other rational college student with a kid on the way and a wife would never do

I feel the most sympathy for Sapo. Bodega is respected by his community and Chino is well educated and has a family to go to. Sapo is down a bad path while Chino and Bodega are both living a good life, and Sapo doesnt have anything positive in his.

bodega is powered but that money doesnt mean he is happy. Wealth can not buy some people true happiness. He needs his love with vera. Sapo is blinded in not intelligent enough to have stress. He is in bliss in his community. Chino has his wife a decent education and the gift of art. The choice of who I feel bad for is a difficult one because they all have power to change who they are and the situation they are in

cory said...

Out of the three i feel the most sympathy for Sapo. Since bodega is well liked in the community and chino is well off with a wife and child sapo is the only one left who pushes that sticky icky for bodega he has nothing to be proud of.

Pat B said...

Out of the three choices I feel the most sorry for Chino. He is always being pressured into doing very thoughtless crimes just because he has to have his best friends back. He has college, a child on the way, and a good looking wife on the line. Meanwhile he's making a quick buck by putting himself in danger of violence and being arrested by following Sapo's foot steps. Sapo is just a bad influence on Chino and seems to take advantage of him for drug deals.

erica said...

i would feel the most sorry for is sapo because chino and bodega both have something to special in their lives that makes them happy. sapo doesnt have much so i feel bad for him.

shawn said...

Out of the three characters i feel most sorry for Sapo. Bodega has the respect from the community and Chino has a college education and a wife. Sapo is just one of Bodegas men who helps him sell drugs.

i feel more sympathy for sapo because he has nothing really going for him in life and probably will end up dead or in jail =/
