Tough Guise and BOYZ N THE HOOD

The Tough Guise is what men use to gain respect among their peers. The movie Boyz n the hood demonstrates the use of the Tough Guise with the roles of the characters. This movie is about a boy named Trey who is sent to live with father after getting into a fight at school. Overtime he grows up in the neighborhood and goes though a lot of trials in film. While Trey and his friend Ricky were taking a walk, they see a car pull up. The two realize it's the gang the met a couple nights before. Trey and Ricky make a break for it. But when a gang member pulls out a gun, Ricky gets shot and killed on the spot. Ricky's friends decide to get revenge but Trey changes his mind and leaves. Trey are successful in killing the gang but Ricky's brother feels empty, but Trey tells him that he still has him.

The Tough Guise is the main theme the film uses. The character who use the Tough Guise are probably Trey's friends. They use the guise as a way to avenge Ricky's death. The who shot Ricky use the guise to. They used it when they murdered Ricky. The characters who use the Tough Guise are probably trying to hide their feelings because they might think that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. They must think that showing emotions is not what "real men"do. At the beginning of the movie Trey was using the tough guise when he was little when he got into a fight.The tough guise is really just a way for men to embarrass themselves.

The person who doesn't use the tough guise is Trey when he's older. When Trey is older he is more cautious and smarter. During one part of the movie trey cries because he's tried of all the violence and the shootings in neighborhood. Then there's a scene where Trey cries again after Ricky gets shot by the bad gang. In another scene Trey decides that he can't the gang who shot Ricky and gets out of the car. All of this is proof that Trey is a "better man" and it's because of his dad.

Trey's dad furious is also a better man because he teaches Trey to not become a thug like the gang members. Furious is the one who convinces Trey not to go after the gang who shot Ricky. If he hadn't done that, his son would have done a really really horrible.It really is a good thing that Furious intervened and that means he's a "better man".

The tough guise is going to be a problem because it will make men dangerous.If men are more nicer than they will be more acceptable in society. The tough guise is something that must be removed from our society. I hope the it will be removed eventually.
