Theme Statement: If you want someone to hear your advice you must set a good example.
Literary Device: Metaphor
p.72 "If you wont listen, thats on you. you have potential to do so much more, go so much further. you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink it right?"
Analysis:
In this quote tony tries to talk to Wes about his drug dealing problems even though tony grew up being a drug dealer himself. Tony wants Wes to grow up and be a good person because he knows Wes has potential. Even though Tony tries to talk to him Wes still wants to be like him and follows in his footsteps. Wes cant change because he has grown up influenced by his brother and what his brother does and he hasnt had a good role model to learn from. If you want someone to be a certain way you have to help them and give examples because most people especially younger siblings follow after you and learn from what you do.
