Being the leader

If anyone is to be trusted in the book "Bodega Dreams", I would say it has to be Nazario. Bodega's trusted him for all those years, and hasn't failed yet. Although he can at the same time be the person to trust the least because of his profession. The Lawyer. Personally, I would trust him. He'd cover for me(most likely) if I was at risk to be jailed. Everyone must have read about that hotdog stand scene. If Nazario really knows the law like the back of his hand, he's someone you want on your side.

Question#1:

Chino is no Fidel Castro or Hitler. He'd definitely be the type to follow, rather than lead. My evidence is not what Chino has done so far, but what he HASN'T done so far. He isn't leading blanca through her maternity very well, and he couldn't lead his life out of El Bario.

Question#2:

In some sense, Willie is indeed a leader of sorts. He has lead El Bario for years without being busted by the police and he's gotten god-knows how many people out of the deep despair of poverty.
