Chino is very smart and goes to college which could be useful to Nozario. Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nozario because he knows he doesn't have the smarts to get involved with that stuff. ]]> 2022-05-09 13:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175656435 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175656954 Willie Bodega needs Chino because he's someone who is smart enough to help his brother. The quality that chino has that is desirable is because he actually cares for his education unlike everyone else around him. Bodega doesn't use sapo because he is extremely loud mouthed and someone who isn't the brightest of people.]]> 2022-05-09 13:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175656954 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175657348 Bodega needs Chino because he needs more connections that will help build his image. Chino is a very smart individual so having him on his side supporting his vision will lead him closer to accomplishing his vision and making it a reality. Because Sapo is dealing drugs and doesn't really see a future for himself; a bigger picture. He isn't exactly the brightest. ]]> 2022-05-09 13:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175657348 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175658509 The similarities of Pablo Escobar and willie bodega is that they both like helping and giving back to their community.In the video of Pablo Escobar you see him giving money to people.And in the book bodega gives back too as it says in the book "The community needs a new pool table, ill take care of that".so by him helping his community and giving back they gonna be loyal to him and trust him.]]> 2022-05-09 13:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175658509 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175658639 Bodega needs Chino to support or be a so called assistant to his lawyer and friend Nazario. The quality Chino has that is desirable to Bodega is the fact that Chino's in college expressing that he's intelligent. Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because clearly he isn't as intelligent as Chino to get involved with a lawyer. ]]> 2022-05-09 13:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175658639 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175659689 bodega needs chino because his the lawyers friend need help with this because chino is really smart and his thinks he can be useful to them in their work.]]> 2022-05-09 13:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175659689 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175660130 Willie bodega specifically wnats chino because he believes that he can be a great assistant for Nazario, he mentions that its okay to go to college and maybe encourages him to stay because hes smart and can be useful for the future of el barrio.

What makes chino desirable to Bodega is that he is a guy in college getting a education. Bodega didn't choose Sapo because Sapo isn't as smart as Chino.]]> 2022-05-09 13:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175662196 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175662232 A similarity between Pablo Escobar and Willie bodega is their way of giving back to the people. In the book Bodega states "I placed fourteen families in that buildin', cheap rent too." This is one of the ways Bodega secures loyalty, by giving homes to families that can't afford anything too expensive so it's more likely that they will be there for him if anything were to happen to him.]]> 2022-05-09 13:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175662232 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175663178 The similarities Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega have is that they both care for and help the members in their communities. The evidence that supports this is "I placed fourteen families in the buildin', cheap rent too." and "But what it means is fourteen families that would riot for Bodega. Fourteen families that would take a bullet for Bodega."]]> 2022-05-09 13:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175663178 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175664005 Willie Bodega and Pablo Escobar both are very generous and use their possessions to help the community. For example, Escobar gives money to the communities and Bodega offers cheap housing for people in his community, as said in the book which states "I placed fourteen families in the buildin', cheap rent, too."]]> 2022-05-09 13:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175664005 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175665390 pablo and bodega are similar because the both like helping and giving back the the community to their money.]]> 2022-05-09 13:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175665390 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175665785 The drug cartel lord Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega is pretty similar because they both provide and gives a generous amount of help to their community. The communities are highly aware of what they do and who they are but because they are helping advance and aid people no one really goes against it. Willie Bodegas renovates old buildings and owns down so he can house families with very low rent and by doing this he gets the peoples loyalty because if something happens to him they have no home anymore. ]]> 2022-05-09 13:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175665785 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175667833 Willie Bodega specifically needs Chino because Chino could help him make more connections with people that have higher social statuses. Since Chino goes to school he can make more connections with people that think the same way Bodega does and are willing to work with Bodega. Bodega doesn't use Sapo to help Nazario because he might see that Sapo isn't as qualified to work with someone that knows the law; he may see Sapo as childish and irresponsible compared to Chino who wants to get his life together by going to school.]]> 2022-05-09 13:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175667833 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668160 The similarities I see between Bodega and Pablo Escobar is both of their ways of gaining respect and unconditional support but helping those in their community at all times. Bodega secures loyalty by taking in an old abandoned and messed up building and completely renovating it, making it secure and safe for families to live in, and even made the rent affordable without an issue which those families can really benefit from.]]> 2022-05-09 13:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668160 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668543 I feel like Willie Bodega and Pablo Escobar have some similarities , I say this because in the small clip we watched he shows helping his community and giving money out and in the story they explain how along as people are loyal to him he will treat them to whatever they need for example "my fri-tura stand in La Marqueta burned down, go see Willie Bodega, he'll help ya" another example is "what I ask for is there loyalty" these examples show how similar they are.]]> 2022-05-09 13:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668543 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668652 Willie Bodega specifically need Chino because he very helpful and knows how to get things done. The quality Chino has that is desirable to Bodega is he very outgoing and he very start for the business. Bodega does not use Sapo because he not as smart and comes up with ideas as Chino. ]]> 2022-05-09 13:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175668652 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175670381 some similarities between the two is that they are both respected and trusted because of the things that they did for the community in order to help them whether it was money or planning something. They all seemed for it to be fair as long as Bodega saw their loyalty he knows they would be there for him when he needed them most. For example in page 30 it says, " But i take care of the community and the community takes care of me. They must because their shelter depends on me...What i ask for is their loyalty. If something happens to me they will take it to the streets"]]> 2022-05-09 13:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2175670381 damanim11 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2176767059 Willie specifically need Chino because Chino is very smart, Bodega wants Chino to work with Nazario. The quality that Chino has that is desirable is him being in college and actually having a path and career he wants to succeed in. Bodega doesnt use Sapo because Sapo dropped out of school, he's lazy and isn't as smart as Chino.]]> 2022-05-10 02:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2176767059 damanim11 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2176813338 A similarity i see between both Pablo Escobar and Willie Bodega is that both men are very generous and caring human beings, they take their illegal business and somehow turn it into good behavior. Pablo let the people continue to hover around him as one of the henchmen told him to let go, he then proceed to give money to them. Bodega gave back to the community. Page 29 stated ," I placed fourteen families in the buildin', cheap rent, too. this quote shows loyalty because all he does for his community is support them and help them all he wants in return is loyalty.]]> 2022-05-10 02:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2176813338 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177514578 They both care for their community and hopes that they become loyal to him. A quote  that backs this up is "So if Doña Ramonita can't pay her rent, I take care of it. The community center needs a new pool table, I take care of it ... If something happens to me, people will take to the streets. Bro, there will be Latinos from 125th Street to 96th Street".]]> 2022-05-10 12:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177514578 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177555165 The Young Lords didn't last because of society not helping them . They were forced to take matter in to their own hands... but they became too arrogant.

The obstacle they faces internally was greed for power, and the obstacles they faced externally was each wanting something different than eachother at the end. This makes Bodega really sad and angry, he says it broke him. ]]> 2022-05-10 13:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177556168 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177558138 They didn’t last among each other because despite originally joining together under the ideal that by revolting and fighting for a better society and conditions in their own home, they grew too prideful almost each other and began to fight amongst their own arrogance over who’s way was best, Bodega seemed heartbroken by these events as it was all so hopeful to begin with]]> 2022-05-10 13:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177558138 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177559307 I believe peoples fear might become an obstacle for Bodega because people would do anything for help in exchange for loyalty but they might become afraid of the dangers bodega might put them in.. and Bodegas dream of the unity might fail once again which would cause further issues.]]> 2022-05-10 13:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177559307 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177559783 The young lords didn't last because the group had gotten too confident that they started to start arguments among themselves.

And because they didn't have plans they winged it and what they could do in that moment. The Challenges they faced was they all was too caught up in the power they had and what they could do so with each of them being like this it caused arguments and a break in their unity.  Bodega felt heartbroken by this event, you can tell when he was speaking about they were a group fighting for new becomings he was very passionate but when he spoke about the break of the group the mood altered and was sad and gloomy. ]]> 2022-05-10 13:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177562073 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177563015 I feel that the same thing that happened to the Young Lords will happen to Bodega, he already sounds like he thinks himself this big unstoppable giant because of the power he has.]]> 2022-05-10 13:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177563015 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2177563411 Willie Bodega specifically needs chino because Chino knows how to use his head, and he can be great assistance for Nazario.

If he could get Chino on his side it would look good on him and his character. Sapo can't be used since he's a trouble maker and wouldn't be a good representation of bodega or El Barrio]]> 2022-05-21 08:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2193788142 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2194010894 Bodega believes all power is ultimate, if he has all the power then he would be in control of everyone. Sapo is a on his own typa person, he likes to do things on his own type of time, he doesnt really care about the power but he would still listen. Chino is the real different one, he doesnt care about who is in power, he doesnt involve himself in it.]]> 2022-05-21 16:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2194010894 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2194019984 My reaction is that bodega is extremely desperate for any help he can possibly get, it affects how i view him as a young lord because people picture him as a guy to fear, but now i see him as a person that will do anything to get what he need]]> 2022-05-21 16:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2194019984 https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2213600033 Bodega is someone will do anything to impress the love of his life, which is vera in this case. I feel as though he wants to set such a good impression for her that he wants to try all methods to make her happy. He just trying really hard for vera so she would be happy with him. It shows the difference between young lords because it shows the soft side bodega has, young lords are people viewed as tough guys who are always going for what they want- but bodega wants both.

Sapo is someone who doesnt have much beliefs, hes more down to earth about stuff and doing it on his own. Now chino is a middle person. Hes not a crazy believer in stuff like his wife but he also doesnt think that stuff like hope doesnt exist.]]> 2022-06-07 13:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dking331/vqhx0u6wn3g83rt3/wish/2213605837
