In the story Sapo is always filling up Chinos head about how great Bodega is. The reason he does this is because while Sapo was struggling Bodega was the one that helped him. Sapo also seems to want to get his name up their in the neighborhood. In the story it says, "Look, bro, all i k now is when no one would gimme a job, Bodega did... But i dont want to be some manager of a few crack houses. I wanna be part of history." As you can see, Sapo went through tough times in his life. He didn't have the support of anyone during these times. He says that Bodega was the only one that helped him and gave him a job to make money. You can also see that Sapo doesn't just want to be one of the rest of Bodegas workers. He wants to be someone important and get his name populated. He wants to be the type of person that everyone remembers even after he's gone. As long as Sapo is riding with Bodega he is sure of having a job and being someone.
