unlike almost everyone in the neighborhood, chino is actually going to college and education like that is needed by bodega.

# data[].attributes.body
I think bodega needs chino because of his smarts because he keeps mentioning how "a smart person like you" to chino can help Nazario

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega specifically needs someone like Chino because he's connected to Sapo and is smarter than most people in his community because he goes to college. He doesn't really know him all that well but he wants more people to be loyal to him. He needs someone like Chino and not Sapo because Sapo is rather rash and he tends to get himself into fights often. With Chino, he's more coolheaded and thinks with his head rather than with his heart. Nazario is a lawyer too so he needs someone who is also as smart to work with him.

# data[].attributes.body
Willie needs Chino to help Nazario run his housing and other things around the neighborhood. And the reason he wants Chino a lot more then Sapo is he believes that Chino is a lot more smarter and more educated then Sapo.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega requires Chino because Chino is smarter since he's in collage, he might be better for working to help Nazario who is a lawyer.

# data[].attributes.body
He sees something in chino that could help him reach his goal. He sees that chino is smart so maybe chino might have smart tactics.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe Bodega needs Chino specifically because he is getting a college education and maybe that's what Bodega needs, he needs someone who is smart to help him out. I don't think he can use Sapo or Nazario because, maybe he needs a new face to present to the crowd so everyone isn't on top of him like people in charge of the law.

# data[].attributes.body
Willie Bodega specifically needs Chino because he's getting a college education so he's more knowledgable than many. Bodega doesn't want to use Sapo because he's not as book smart compared to Chino.

# data[].attributes.body
bodega needs chino because he knows that there's a better chance of him being able to sweet talk the situation to him to persuade him. one quality that chino has is that he's kind of gullible and bodega docent use sap because he knows that sapo would stand his ground if he knew something wasn't right

# data[].attributes.body
I think he specifically wants chino because the first time chino did something for him he did it really well and chino is also really smart

I believe Bodega needs chino because chino is smart enough to

The similarities we see between Bodega and Pablo Escobar is they would both give back to their communities and give their support.

# data[].attributes.body
Some similarities that I see are that they both have a lot of connections with people and some that even have to deal with the law. one way he secures loyalty in the story is by doing everything and anything for the community needs in return for their loyalty

# data[].attributes.body
Willie wants Chino to be on his side because he is still in school getting a college education unlike most of the people who he works with who are doing drugs or are out on the streets. Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because he doesn't have a proper education and sells drugs.

# data[].attributes.body
Chino is a college student who is getting education. He is more intelligent and sharp minded. Bodega know that Sapo doesn't have much knowledge he wouldn't have the same mind and clever ideas to help Nazario.That's why Bodega keep mentioning that "smart person like you" to Chino.

# data[].attributes.body
his intelligence

# data[].attributes.body
both use loyalty as a form of power

# data[].attributes.body
Willie Bodega's crew are not too bright, constantly having to repeat himself over and over but with Chino, maybe his empire would work smoothly.Chino goes to college meaning he is well educated as he may be more responsive than most of his crew if Chino is willing to join Willie Bodega's team.Willie Bodega needed someone who is well educated as Nazario who is skilled in his job as a lawyer.

# data[].attributes.body
Pablo Escobar helps his community, treats the neighborhood as family and only asks for loyalty in return from the people Pablo Escobar helped similar to Willie Bodega(Ex:"I placed fourteen families in the buildin',cheap rent too.You know what that means Chino?"
"You a sweetheart"I said,smiling.
"Yeah,that too.But what it means is fourteen families that would riot for Bodega.Fourteen families that would take a bullet for Bodega.")

bodega and pablo use loyalty to grow their empire

# data[].attributes.body
Some similarities between Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega is that they both provide for the community that they live in. They both try and gain the communities trust so that they don't get betrayed in the end and that the people are loyal to them. "'So if Dona Ramonita can't pay her rent, I take care of it. The community center needs a new pool table, I take care of it." This piece of evidence shows how he's able to gain their trust by helping them out.

# data[].attributes.body
Willie Bodega and Pablo Escabar both give back to their community. For example, on page 30 Bodega states "If Dona Ramonita can't pay her rent I take care of it, The community needs a new pool table, I take care of it." This reveals why people are loyal to Bodega and treat him like a savior.

# data[].attributes.body
they both same similarities with both supporting their community and giving to their people in the community so the community also helps them.

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity that willie bodega and pablo escobar have is they both like to give money to people to support the persons needs, but later they might want something in return. "baby needs a new pair of shoes go speak to willie bodega".

# data[].attributes.body
A simmilarity is that they are both loyal and give back to their communities. For example, Bodega on page 30 he states "so if Dona Ramonita can't pay her rent, i'll take care of it".

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity between the two drug lords are that they bribe people into being loyal to them by giving them what they need to survive such as money, housing, medical aid, etc.

An example of this is from page 30 in Bodega Dreams, " So if Dona Ramonita can't pay her rent, I take care of it..."

# data[].attributes.body
One similarity between Bodega and Pablo Escobar is they both want to help the neighborhood by selling drugs and giving the money they earn back to the community. One way he secures loyalty is by paying rent for someone in his building who can't afford it that week.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Willie Bodega specifically need Chino because he's smart and knows how to get the deal done. I think Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because Sapo maybe a little unprofessional and needs Chino.

# data[].attributes.body
compared to sapo chino has/is getting a college education which means that chino is more book smart than sapo which makes him more useful with helping him and nazario

# data[].attributes.body
Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega both look out for their community by providing them with money for their needs or taking care of certain things for them. Willie says "So if Dona Ramonita cant pay her rent, I take care of it." showing that if somebody in the community needs something he is going to help them in return for their loyalty.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega needs chino because he is intelligent and actually wants to make something of his life. Bodega doesn't use sapo because he isn't book smart.

# data[].attributes.body
The similarities we see between drug cartel lord Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega is they both gain trust and loyalty from people of their area by giving them a place to live and helping them out whenever they need. People kinda learn to seek help and rely on him whenever they have problems with money. "If something happens to me, people will take to the streets.” They both are popular in their street because they both have good control over people's minds.

# data[].attributes.body
i think willie bodega specifically needs chino because chino is very intelligent having gone to college and having book smarts. Bodega doest use sapo because sapo wasnt as a source as choino having the same intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
The similarities i see between pablo escobar is they both support and give back like showing they are good role models to their communities.

They didn't last because they weren't being listened to. The mayor didn't even consider their proposals and they began to take charge using violent means. They began to turn on each other after getting too high and mighty and they faced many obstacles such as the community governments never listening to their complaints and problems. They began to see that it wasn't going to work out the way that it did, and they turned in on one another.

# data[].attributes.body
The young lords didn't last because they were having differences in opinions on how they should be running things. They were facing opposition from police and people high in power. Bodega is still upset about how things turned out

# data[].attributes.body
The mayor didn't want to listen to their demands and they started to drift away from there original objective which was to gain power for themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lord's did not last or work out because maybe they weren't getting results they were looking for. Maybe no one listened to them and no change was made so they went their separate ways.

Willie needs Chino because he's smart and is getting a college education. He doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because Sapo isn't as book smart and he's much more impulsive

the young lord didnt last because the judge didnt interpret or understand their requests and they started to breeze away from the main mission which was to get power for theirselves

# data[].attributes.body
They both help their community financially to gain their trust and support

# data[].attributes.body
The young lords didn't last because they became too powerful and wanted to fight for everything, so they started disagreeing on how they should deal with problems. They faced problems from the government and higher power people not listening to them. Bodega feels disappointed decades later on how the group split up.

# data[].attributes.body
the young lords didnt last because they mightve started to change their agenda and they thought that they needed to do something different. bodega seems like hes upset about it because of the way he said that he was broken and had left and knew that all he could do is hustle

# data[].attributes.body
they probably didn't last because they began to probably began to disagree on somethings and probably started to think that what they were doing probably wasn't working for them anymore so they split up. some obstacles they faced is that they weren't able to get the major to give them good education, jobs, better housing ect. the major didn't get back to them at all

# data[].attributes.body
There might be people who could backstab Bodega and he might not even know

# data[].attributes.body
They didn't last because the began to fight for power between them. The external obstacle they faced was the police and mayor trying to shut them down. And the internal conflict was the fight between power and them changing their agenda. Bodega feelings about the young lords are very bad because he thought that they were very bad for the neighborhood after they changed their agenda

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lords didn't last because they were not heard. Since they weren't being heard they took action which they saw as violence. They were going up against people with higher power and nothing was going as planned.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lords probably didn't last because their egos became too high and started demanding for more control. The government probably did not agree with them having so much power which caused them to split up. Bodega feels upset about this decades later.

# data[].attributes.body
The young lords didn't last since their efforts failed to be heard and the government didn't listen to them. (Not done)

# data[].attributes.body
The young lords didn't last because their efforts to better their neighborhood weren't being acknowledged. The mayor wasn't addressing their reports and when the lords decided to finally take matters into their own hands by creating blockades with garbage the mayor responded with violence. Bodega felt inspired and that he still needed to continue the hustle to create a better community.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lord didn't last because they were facing obstacle. People in high power like the Mayor and police was after them. They didn't acknowledge what's their reason for doing the things they were doing. They start to turn against each other after facing the problem by community government. Bodega feels proud of the work they have done but also feel sad because how their problems were ignore but when they tried to solve it by themself the people from government got in the way.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lord became no better than Mayor Lindsay(got too high and mighty)in the end.The Young Lords faced Mayor Lindsay being a fraud and won't fix the neighborhood as well as the community working together(putting their differences aside) to make the neighborhood a better place.Bodega feels enlightened since it influenced him,knowing the only way for him was to hustle and found hope when Bodega met Nazario to make something more.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega may become too high and mighty similar to the Young Lords(leading to the same fate),Bodega might not trust his brothers as well as Nazario since he grew up thinking his only decision is to work for someone else or to work for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega and Escobar are very similar because they are both trying to give back to their communities because they're the people who helped support them.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega needs Chino because he's more well educated. Sapo may be street smart but he's not really book smart. Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because maybe using a new person with a different mindset might help them with their image.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega might get in over his head and begin to question the path he's going down as most people do when they seem to go down a path that doesn't seem as earnest as it should be. He might deal with internal struggle and have to reason with himself.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lord didn't last because they had faced many challenges in bettering their community but they fell apart because of things that happened when police had become involved. Bodega is rather proud because they had really tried to help their community and the people that lived there.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that some obstacles might be the fact that people now might not care as much as the people that did in the original young lords. also finding people to be loyal to the group and being passionate enough about the movement.

# data[].attributes.body
A similarity that can be seen between Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega is that they are very loyal. They also care a lot about their community and they don't treat them like strangers. This leads them to have more support and connection.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe his life as a drug lord might interfere with him living the Young Lord legacy since it might go to his head that he is the one who might be destined to fulfill this legacy and he might do anything to achieve this goal.

# data[].attributes.body
One person in the group might go behind their backs and do something that might hurt the community instead of benefit them. For example one member could steal money the group makes and use it for themself instead of for the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega sells drugs to the community that he wants to help and doesn't see it as a problem because he feels if the person buys his products it's in the customer and he's not at fault

# data[].attributes.body
Someone in the group might backstab the group and get them in trouble like stealing money they may make to benefit themselves, giving members trust issues.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like its going to be hard for him to continue the young lord legacy because people probably wont want to corporate with each other or some people probably wont want to do it all.

# data[].attributes.body
The Young Lord didn't last because they all had different mindsets on certain topics and their opinions all differed from eachother's. They had many disagreements about eachother's opinions. I think Bodega feels upset about this decades later because its like they split up after something small.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there might be a few challenges coming Bodega's way because he might face personal challenges with himself or maybe even the fear that someone could betray him is a high possibility because people usually want one thing in life and that's power.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one personal obstacle/flaw that could get in Bodega is his drug empire and the fact that it could be hurting the neighborhood because people in the area could be buying it.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that might be an obstacle for them is the fact that they never know what people can be planning behind his back or what their motives are.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega needs chino specifically because he has book smarts not only street smarts. He goes to college and is learning what he wants to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think personal obstacles or flaws that might make it challenging for Bodega to continue The Young Lords’ legacy is someone might go against them or spy on them and leak information to the police. Someone might leak information about him selling drugs.

# data[].attributes.body
some similarities are that they are both drug lords and they both give back to there community in exchange for loyalty '' they all come to bodega. the word is out its all over el barrio , baby needs a new pair of shoes go speak ta willie bodega ... any shit like that and what in ask for is their loyalty.''

# data[].attributes.body
the young lords didn't last because they where bing over looked the mayor. didn't take there proposals into consideration

# data[].attributes.body
Someone might turn on him and do something that doesn't benefit him or them but only themselves to get what they want.

# data[].attributes.body
It might be hard for bodega to continue the Young Lords legacy of fighting for change because instead of actively protesting like they did Bodega is selling drugs to make money and other illegal things to reach his dreams. This is a problem because instead of cleaning the streets of his neighborhood he's selling drugs to his own people despite wanting to make a "great society" for what seems like a selfish reason when he says "my great society."

# data[].attributes.body
I do see a problem and obstacle he will face continuing the young lords legacy having a big ego and  not having any idea what people can be plotting against him

# data[].attributes.body
I think bodega would have obstacles because as much as he wants to take care of his community when money is involved nothing is promised.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega has a strong belief in the power of superstition/magic. Because He asked the boys to buy the bird and go to Dona Ramonita for the ritual. I think Chipo, Sapo don’t care about the power of superstition because as Ramonita was explaining what to do they were barely paying any attention.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth to be told, I was surprised because as a drug dealer I thought he was going to be more like the serious type of guy who doesn’t believe in god or anything like superstition/ magic. I thought he would be those arrogant types who think that they are their own god and because of their hard work they were able to earn money. But seeing him seeking help from Ramonita shows that he really loved and still cares about Vera. He wants to get her back by the help of superstition.

# data[].attributes.body
The young lords didn't last since their efforts failed to be heard and the government didn't listen to them. So they took to the streets and used somewhat forceful tactics to achieve their goals, and weren't as level headed as before. Bodega still feels that the young lords should've continued without the selfishness hadn't built up within the Young Lords.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Bodega really believes in superstitions like how people believe in their religions, but I feel like Sapo and Chino don't necessarily care about it as much and seem to barely be paying attention when Bodega mentions it.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega seems to believe in superstitions since Dona Ramonita is telling his to pour the water on himself in a specific way in order for the sacrifice to work.

Sapo and Chino don't seem to believe in it since Sapo doesn't seem to really care much about the superstitions since they seemed to pay little to no mind to Dona Ramonita as she explained what should Bodega do with the water.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows how Bodega believes in superstitions and magic since he turned to Dona Ramonita for help with Vera and as well that he might still be in love with her or possibly, in love with the past. This affects how I see Bodega as a Drug lord/past Young Lord since it shows that the community doesn't only rely on him, he also relies on the community for help.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that bodega believes in the power of superstition a lot and chino only believes it because maybe because bodega believed it. i feel like chino doesn't care thought i dont think he believes in that he is just focus on himself and he struggles that he is dealing with.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Bodega is the one who believes in it the most since he's willing to sacrifice an animal to a God to get his ex back. Chino kinda seems like it doesn't bother him or it's normalized. Sapo doesn't really care about it he just gets what Bodega needs for it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am honestly a bit shocked that Bodega believes in Dona Romanita because he doesn't really seem like the type to believe in superstitions so the fact he does believe in it is quite shocking. This makes me think he's a different kind of drug dealer one who actually believes that there is someone who could help him rather than thinking he has to be all on his own.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some personal obstacles that would make It challenging for Bodega to continue the Young Lord's legacy is that someone might betray them and do them wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega strongly believes in superstitions/magic since he asked Sapo and Chino to pick up a bird and to see Dona Ramonita for a ritual. However, Chino and Sapo are not as interested because as Dona was explaining how the ritual works, they zoned out.

# data[].attributes.body
i was kinda shocked that he was doing it for blanca's aunt vera i would have never expected that turn of events but its crazy that he used a sacrifices in order to get her back to el barrio and kinda weird but i feel like he loves her and probably misses her and what he had with her in the past so i guess he would do anything to get her back. this makes me view him as a drug lord and past young lord who also need someone he loves very much by his side and he would do whatever it takes to get that person back

# data[].attributes.body
I believe bodega will have obstacles because instead of trying to not bring problems to the neighborhood he is selling drugs around. That can lead to someone betraying him

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega might believe in this heavily because during the chapter he asks sapo and Chino to pick up a bird and to see Dona Ramonita for a ritual. However I don't think sapo and Chino care for it at all because they looked confused and lost.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Bodega turning to Dona Ramonita for help with Vera makes me see him as someone who's normal just like the rest of us. He's not afraid to ask for help if he needs it or scared that it'll make him look weak somehow.  I kinda see him as misunderstood too because people would think that he's one of the ignorant and rude type of drug lords but in reality he's just trying to make the world a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm quite surprised that he turns to Dona Romanita for help because he doesn't strike me as the type to believe in superstitions but it also shows that no matter how powerful Bodega may be as a drug lord, he still has his own problems/obstacles that he needs to face and can't always face them on his own.

# data[].attributes.body
To be Honest I'm kinda shocked that he's turning to her for help because he sounds as if he doesn't care for no one but himself and to see him ask for support is shocking.

# data[].attributes.body
i would describe where each character stands in regards to believing in the power of superstition with bodega sending sapo and chino to pick up a bird and to go visit dona romanita for a ritual of some sort.

# data[].attributes.body
IM shocked that bodega turned to Dona Ramonita for help with vera because bodega gives of a attitude as if he doesnt really have caring for others just himself and to see that he turned to someone for help is kinda shocking

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Bodega does believe in superstition because he wanted Sapo and Chino to get a bird and see Dona for a ritual but they weren't interested.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm a bit surprised that he believes in superstition like that because he seems like someone who only cares for himself

# data[].attributes.body
Bodega and Chino believes the power of superstition is real due to Doña Ramonita telling them Vera would come to El Barrio while Sapo may not care about superstition since Sapo had his attention towards the smell the goose left in his car

# data[].attributes.body
i think that bodega has a strong belief in superstition and magic cause he wanted to sacrifice an animal but chino and sapo really don't seem to care theyre just helping bodega
