Son Of The Mob: Important Part Of The Story

"I start to argue, but decide, What's the point? We both know what we're talking about. "Yeah, vending machines," I say. "It's a little tough for my tastes.""(Pg 21) This briefly shows a bit of a dynamic act. The character Vince grew up in a family that was related to the Mafia business. However everyone was very into the business, Vince was not. He wanted the regular life and have cars and a house without it being one that's been stolen or robbed from. In another passage, Vince talks about buying his own car because he doesn't want Grand Theft Auto screamed at him.

Life of Pi: Response To Reading

I am currently at the part where the swarm of Flying Fish had flopped around past, over, and onto the boat. One of the fish is caught by Pi. To eat, he was to kill the fish but had resented to. Even with a cover over, he refused to break the neck. This is almost like me. I always despise to carry out the act of ending a life. There's just a part inside of me that refuses to act in such a way.

Son Of The Mob: The Introduction

In Son Of The Mob the book is introduced in a present day event. After it turns into a disaster, the book is then brought back into the past and explains the type of family and situation they are in.

Overall it's a great way to start off in my view.

Overtime while Victor was being raised, he had no idea about what was going on while the house was tapped by the federal agency. He carried lunch sacks full of mashed diamonds, and opened up suit cases packed with drug money. An event that happens in the book is when Victor comes into the room with his uncle getting bullets pulled from his behind.

Victor being a child confronts the scene with fright and terror being exposed to it. I would say this can relate to a scene in
