This week we read two short stories i really liked; A&P by John Updike and Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin. While they are not similar in the meaning of the story to the reader, usually the theme, I could still relate to each (even if it was in a different way). A&P is about a young man, or teenager, named Sammy who needed one event to pull the final string to help him take the step to become a different person. He did not like the situation he was in and could see how he would end up and wanted a different route in life. Sonny’s Blues was very touching in the fact that a brother learned to accept his brother and they became closer. It showed how we can open up to learning about a person and seeing who they really are. I enjoy fiction!
