Chapter 17 - Son of a Mob
Please post your thoughts about the character and events on chapter 17 of the Son of a Mob here.
Things just seem to be getting better and better in this story. I love the part where Vince started putting posters up at school, asking students to vote for him and Kendra for prom king and queen so that he could win Kendra back. However I was right all along when I said that Alex might have something to do with the breakup, but not exactly. He was the one who put all the posters up in the beginning. The part that really shocked me was that Vince was right about the FBI having an inside man in his father’s business, but most of all was the fact that it was Ray, the person Vince least expected and the character I least expected. So Ray is actually the one who was responsible for Kendra’s father finding out about them.
Chapter 17 was interesting more interesting than the other chapters this book is so interesting when I got to this part I wish there was a movie for it. Vince is starting to put posters up asking students to support him and Kendra for prom King and queen so that they could get back together. And I just read that Alex was the idiot that put the posters up in the beginning. Vince was suspicious in the beginning about the FBI having and inside man with his father’s business and he was right. And it was the person we all least expected the new one Ray. He was the reason Kendra’s father found out about the two dating.
So many things occurred in just one chapter!- mystery of web ads, Platinum Coast on fire, and betrayal of a spy. It was disappointing to see Alex doing nothing as a friend to help Kendra and Vince more tightly, and also frustrating to look at him putting worthless efforts into annoying other couples. He should start minding HIS OWN business (when he doesn't even have a girlfriend!) and stop acting like a bug sticking on honey continued comment from the top) I thought the ads in Vince's cat site will be a deep code that might lead Vince to a solution to his Mafia problems, or to danger that gives him first warning to keep him alert; but no, I guess not. The ads weren't important at all, and I was pretty down when I figured it was of NO purpose. It didn't meet my expectations... Who knew Ray- a loyal partner of Luca's crime organization- would be the inside man that gave all the information to the FBI! No wonder he was so kind-hearted and caring. Ray wasn't a thug material at all, and I could see it in his conscience. I was so astonished and awed when I read this fact; this gave me back the interest I lost because of the cat ad. I love the flipping irony of the story!!!
I think this chapter is so interesting. I never expected there was a spy in Vince's father's business. However, at first, my attention on Vince's love was not that cool, because I did not understand him even though we are same gender, but now he does things for Kendra in manly way. Although, Vince knows everything about the relationship between him and Kendra that they can not be together, but as a man who loves a girl, I think he does best as he can.
This chapter was really interesting because a lot of secrets became clear. In the first part of this chapter, Vince found out that Alex was the one who made a poster. If I was Vince, I would not forgive him. And I was shocked when Vince found out that Ray was an inside man in the Luca organization. Because Ray was the one always take care of Vince and even Vince really liked him more than his brother. I think Vince felt betrayed from him because Vince thought Ray was different from other uncles. I like this chapter because everything was so unexpected.
Here vince is trying to getr the students at his school to vote for him and Kendra bightly for prom king and queen, vince is trying to show kendra that he really loves her and he really wants her back so what he did was put posters in thwe hallways of the school, alex came out of nowhere and confessed to vince that he was the one who was putting the postera since the beginning . if I was sio totally at this situation i would maybe beat up alex or I would jst forgive him, and vince here is tring to win back Kendra
Oh my god this chapter opened my mind even more.first of all Alex isnt a true friend, out of all the times Vince and Kendra argued about the poster it was always Alex putting them up.and Vince's now the one putting them up trying to earn Kendras heart back, but Kendra takes them down.and to top it all of there is someone connected to the FBI...Ray, ray is the one.i never knew he was that kind of person i thought he was a nice gangster from the streets, but yet he's and FBI, no wonder he was always there for Vince, so unexpected man.i wonder what Vince's father would say about this...
In the chapter things got better and better in the story. I love the part where Vince starts putting posters up at school, asking students to vote for him and Kendra for prom king and queen so that he could win Kendra back. But I was right all along when I thought that Alex might have something to do with the breakup. He put all the posters up in the beginning.
