Character Development

In the book Bronx Masquerade, there were many characters who made tremendous changes.  The character who I think was developed the most throughout the story was Tyrone. First we see this kid named Tyrone, he is this very judgmental person and has a worry that he may die one day. He has this friend named Wesley who also has fear of dying and they both just want to survive. He seemed to care a little less about school then Tyrone considering he said "school ain't nothin' but a joke," is evidence that he does not care about school. This was because of the setting of the story. Considering Bronx is a pretty rough neighborhood, this brings out Tyrone's bad side. His father was killed and everyone is the book has certain problems mostly because of the setting.

Tyrone's character before was also affected by certain characters. As we all know, every character has their own problem based on who they mainly "stick around with in the book." Like Tyrone, his mom used to be abused and his father was shot, and his friends, some  of these people effect Tyrone in different ways, and this is why he is influenced into doing certain things.

Tyrone's character before is also effected on plot. Like I said, based on the setting of this story (Bronx), plot encounter certain problems. If I were Tyrone, I would have every right to be scared of dying, considering my mother was abused and my father was killed, because of the the plot and I should also say the setting. Since these chain of events happened and since the setting in this story is so dangerous, that is what made Tyrone, Tyrone. Now, he has blossomed into a brand new character who has learned from his mistakes/actions because of the open mikes and has really changed.
