300-325

In response to 300-325 I believe the scene with the shoeshine man and peter caught me off guard a little bit. I think it was completely unlike peter to get that upset and start fighting with someone like the shoeshine man, however I think it was a very smart part on peter to stick up for himself and not take any sort of bulling from the shoeshine man. This scene I think really showed that peter let a different sort of character out and proved that he was not going to let a bully push him around like the rest of the people that the shoeshine bullied. The fact that he stuck up for himself was a very nice side to see of peter. But in my opinion peter and the shoeshine man were both in the wrong because in the end nobody wins in a situation like this. The shoeshine mans character shows that eventually someone is not going to take his bullying and that he will be faced with a confrontation like he faced with peter. The way I respond to these reflections affects my identity because they are my personal opinions. They reflect my thoughts and feelings towards each situation.
