But the nuns believed in him because he was smart and a good boy.” (McKay 44). This shows how tony was viewed as a person before everything with the LRA happened. Tony also had a dream to become a priest when he was older. He never openly said it but it was very obvious to others; “ He has never actually said to his friends, but everyone knew that tony really wanted to become a priest.” (McKay 45).

Tony was very protective over his little brother. In the book it says, “[Wes] loved his brother but had learned to ignore his occasional 'do as I say, not as I do' tirades. Tony, by contrast, was desperately trying to give his little brother information he thought he needed, the kind of information that Tony never got. Tony felt his little brother's life could be saved, even if he felt his own had already, at age fourteen, passed the point of no return.” (Moore 27). This shows that Tony doesn’t want Wes to join the drug business like he did because he knows it could have ruined his life.
