Sonny's Blues

I enjoyed reading Sonny's Blues. I especially love how the relationship between Sonny and his brother unfolded. It seems as if they had opposite personalities and never saw "eye to eye" on anything. However, the narrator stepped in to help his brother when he needed him the most. He could never understand his passion for music until the end of the story. When it seemed as if Sonny expressed himself through his music, his brother felt his pain for the first time. This is why I firmly believe they never understood each other to this point because they never tried.
