1. The hierarchical structure of this family was based on a combination of succession in part and committment to the family business. It consisted of :
Don Corleone - the Godfather
Santini Corleone, also called Sonny - eldest son
Michael Corleone - youngest son
Tom Hagen - adopted son
Fredo - son

2. The crimes that the Family are involved in are gambling and mafia style murders.

3. The structure of all the syndicates consists of the heads of the families within the syndicate and are as follows:

New York/New Jersey - Don Brazini
The Bronx - Carmine Cuneo
Brooklyn - Phillip Tattaglia
Staten Island - Vito Stracci

Next in line were the oldest sons of these families.

4. The aspects of the film that I believe to be factual and realistic are:
-The syndicate meetings of the heads of the families to resolve and find solutions within the network
-The revenge killings involving Sollozzo Tattagalia, Santini Corleone, and Carlo, the brother in law
-The killing of the owner of the Las Vegas hotel and casino in order to acquire the business.

5. the aspects that are fiction and unrealistic in my view are :
- The incident at the hispital when the vehicle approached the gates and noticed Michael and Enzo standing on the steps and sinply drove off
- The incident at the restuarant onvolving Captain McClusky of the New York Police Department, Sollozzo Tattaglia, and Michael Corleone, where the latter proceeded to the bathroom and retrieved a planted gun behind the old toilet tank.

6. I can identify the Godfather, Don Corleone.
