Sonny's Blues

I really liked this story. It jumped around throughout the main character's life and his perception of what was going on around him and Sonny, but it was very easy to follow. In the end when the author personified the blues, i was glad because it showed that Sonny's brother finally understood Sonny's passion for music and jazz in a way that he previously could not relate to. The background of what happened to he and Sonny's father was a good reflection of what the main character wanted to avoid. Although Sonny went to prison, he cleaned himself up in the end and reunited with his brother, which is a positive ending. I thought it was cool.
