Week Two Scene

The scene that I really liked was when he was walking home and the car was following him. Sonny then ran to Nica's apartment to get away from the guy that was following him. Nica and Sonny were talking when Sonny got the urge to want to kiss Nica. He went in to depth about how it would be and then he wakes up or he just remembered what the twins were talking about if Sonny has ever been with a girl. I found this part interesting because it goes from suspicious to intimate then to a random conversation with the twins. I can connect with this passage because I was trying to get away from problems in school that I was having when I met a girl that I liked at the time and I imagined having her as my girlfriend and how wonderful it would be. We talked and then I find out that she is only talking to me and other guys to piss of her boyfriend.

Flowers Prediction

I think that Sonny is going to run away from home and realize that he misses his mom too much. He shows that he is getting mad with the things that he has gone through and yet he still loves his mom more than anyone in his life. I believe that once a bad event that triggers his conscience to leave that he would be so pissed off that in order for him to forget about it that running away would be his only options in his eyes. He is lost in the world and yet he knows that his mom is the only person that has been with him from the time he was born until now. Another reason why I think that he is going to run away is that he wants to find his dad. Even though his dad left, I believe that he is still looking for a father figure that he never had.

I Am

I am Zack Orosco. I have been at Gav too long, but I am still in school trying to reach my academic goal of getting a B.A. in English and minor in Administration of Justice. For my career goal, I am going to become a police officer. I fell in love with that job after a ride along in downtown San Jose. I consider myself a bit of a sports freak because I play sports, watch sports, and I know sports. If something changes my mind about not becoming a police officer then I would like to become a sports writer for ESPN or a sports company. I am the oldest of three siblings and was raised by my parents in Gilroy my entire life. I did not really like writing or reading when I was growing up but the last couple of years I have seen that writing gets me to a place that makes me relax. I write about memories and things that are on my mind. I am pretty open to basically everything and I like to meet to people.
