Week 6 Exercise: The main idea of the story, "Sonny's Blues," is that throughout life everyone struggles. Not everyone's struggles are the same, some may be more drastice than others. For instance not everyone deals with high school students, or deals with an illegal drugs on a daily basis. There is also how these brothers were close then Sonny started skipping school to be with other musicians. Soon he felt as if his jazzy ways were a burden to his family, so he decided to leave. Then he joined the Navy, Sonny's brother was clueless of Sonny's whereabouts for a while. Eventually they live in the same city agin, but they have lost touch. Until Sonny's brother is reading the news paper on his daily commute, and he noticed Sonny had been arrested. He does not write to his brother for awhile, what makes him sit down with the pen and paper is losing his daughter. After that the two brothers stay in contact with one another, and when Sonny's time had been served he moved in with his brother. After Sony had been living with his brother for a month or so he asked his brother to join him at a club. while they are there Sonny gets on stage with his band and preforms, even tho it is hard for him. -nicely attempted, but you can't use SparkNotes in Wikipedia.Pindham (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2019 (UTC) Lettmags (talk) 04:49, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Sonny's Blues Symbolism: Darkness, it shows the emotion behind what is going on within the story, and how events may cause lows in one's life.

setting: There are multiple setting throughout the story, one of the main ones is Harlem (New York, New York. Also the jazz club that Sonny will play in Greenwich village ( New York, New York). The point that the setting is trying to show is that the part of town is not the best, kind of "the Ghetto." The setting helps display the community as mainly black.

Point of view: The story is told by a narrator, being Sonny's brother, making it in third person point of view. Lettmags (talk) 05:18, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
