The film is portraying the childhood of three African Americans. Their parents’ treatment on them has huge influence on them. At first it displays the racial problem in American. Those black people get no opportunity and respect.Tre’s luckier than other black American children because he has a responsible and thoughtful, whose personality is so previous among others who live in the poor hood. Tre’s father teaches his child to grow like a man not through violation but spiritual maturity. That significantly break the stereotype in black Americans’ mind as most of them worthship physical masculinity. In the film, people attack and not respect each other , girls are called whores , boys are called niggers. Women are passive in the film. In terms of sex, there is a scenario that Tre does not want to be thought of as a virgin, therefore he even lie to his father about his sexual experience. Karin A. Martin’s article about “sex and sexual subjectivity” explained this to us. “ Boys feel grown up and more masculine as a result of having sex. Sex has often been seen as the test of masculinity for men, as a “mainstay of identity”.
