Little Brother

I think that Pink is going to have quite a lot to do with the end of the story due to what he just did for sonny towards the end of the reading section. Once sonny actually gets driving that car I think its going to finally get him what he wishes, a way for him to get out of Los Flores preferably with Nica. Back to Pink, it seems like he is beginning to really show interest in Sonny and wants him to get in to some fishy business. I was suspicious of Pink from the start when he would have all kinds of new cars on the block to sell. Also it seems a little odd that he would always try to sell out these new cars to the African Americans. The last encounter Sonny had with him was very strange, and he seemed like he wanted to know something really big about Cloyd. I know Sonny knows about the hidden money stash and that could play a big role in what pink is interested but it’s hard to think of what else. Most of the residents have been talking about the blacks moving in to their neighborhood and are just appalled at the thought. I have a feeling pink might play a part in the movement since it seems he has ties with them. Pink doesn’t seem like a normal run of the mill white guy either. He just doesn’t talk like Cloyd or Bud and when he spoke to Sonny about breaking a deal with him he said “We just be working this out.” He said. “I just need you to be working with me, little brother. You see. (138)” His tone and slang have really thrown me off when I imagine his appearance. The last thing he said to Sonny that really caught my eye and had me guessing at what he could mean was “all I need is you to listen for me is all. Be some wide-open ears. I’m speaking of your stepdad…What I want is that. I got a question, you got an answer. (139)” Something about him just doesn’t seem right and I feel like he might have a negative impact on Cloyd’s business at Los Flores by bringing in more of the blacks in to their neighborhood.
