One of the greatest films and novels of all time, The Godfather by Mario Puzo is the book that I chose to write my report about. This book falls under the drama and crime fiction genres, due to its dramatic story of people being shot and murdered. The Godfather takes place in New York during the years 1945-1955, right after World War II. Most of the story is written from a narrator 's perspective, save for two points in the book in which the story becomes a first person point of view. One of the themes portrayed in the novel is that family always comes first, even if it isn’t a blood-related family, but a crime family.

In gangs, there are many jobs that must be done. The jobs in the gang can be done by any ages, such as adolescents, young adults, or even children. The children that work in gangs can be so young that they are still in elementary school (AACAP). The kids do easy and dangerous jobs that would not bring any attention to them. For instance, being a lookout for cops on the corner would most likely be a job a child does. These jobs put them in harm's way. They could be arrested, or they could be killed by another member of rival gangs. children are small in size and do not look threatening, which in turn keeps them out of the police sites. This also makes them a good asset on a team since they can get away with more than an adult can. Having children in gangs is a big issue, even today and the book The Other Wes Moore shows an insight of how children in gangs work and how they act to each other.

The Godfather and Goodfellas are both considered “mafia movies.” Both of these films portray some form of organized crime committed by Italians. They mutually romanticize the mob lifestyle and depict it with pure clarity. Although both of these movies portray the lives of the same kind of people, they are more than just a simple characterization. Violence plays a major role in each of these films.

Trujillo an autarch and the antagonist of the novel, a cruel man with false views on what it mean to have freedom.
