Nelson

Who thinks that Nelson is kinda like the Godfather? He makes offers which Edgar can't refuse and he protects Edgar in return.

I think this is a pretty interesting way to look at Edgar's relationship with Nelson at first. It does remind me of The Godfather a little bit, but Don Corleone is way cooler.

I think that's a good comparison and also somewhat helps us understand their relationship even further.

hmmm not really

Bo, have you seen The Godfather? Maybe you have, but I just don't see it. Don cares about his family, but Nelson just pushes Rotten Teeth and Glen around (who are I guess kind of his family at WS).

Matt, I think Bo is thinking more of Edgar having to do favors for Nelson so that Nelson will leave him alone

i have to agree except that he doesn't really control the whole school, just the younger kids and Edgar and Cecil. and i liked the godfather because he wasn't so much of a jerk like nelson is

Vito is way cooler, but I'm not saying that he's exactly like Nelson. Nelson is the mob's leader, and he protects his crew. The godfather is nice? He kills people.

i don't agree because Nelson would take care of Edgar at first. However, now that Edgar is friends with cecil Nelson no longer cares about Edgar and probably would not care if anything happened to Edgar anymore.

thats really funny and i never would have thought that unless you said that. but it says that when nelson is in personal detention the others just dont have their heart in the game of ruining edgar and cecils life. but men that run with the godfather are always in it till death
