Idea for paper.

It is kind of hard to not write about sonny after have that touching ending with Nica. Talk about how Sonny grew out of being a man and became and adult, and experienced every thing from racisim, stealing, love, sex, drugs, responsibility, hate, violence, and just generally raising himself. Because the fact that his mom was always out and he hated his step dad and so did his mom it seems like. So there is some thing i might write about, how sonny in the begging of the book was a kid, then we watched him become a teenager, then he became a man.

The other thing that i really enjoyed and could write about was about how Syliva does not grow up. She has a son who basically she throws money at and trys to raise him. She loves him dearly, but shes just ignorant. She goes out and parties all the time, and goes shopping more then she goes grocery shopping. Like she was a teen mom who cant get out of her party phase. So she thinks that maybe its time try settling down again, like that would get her life back on track. So once she gets married, shes with Cloyd who she basically only sees the name on his credit card more then she sees his actual face.

Those are just two of the topics i plan to write on one still deciding however. I think i will do a reader response approach to the novel. Not because its the easiest but because i have alot to say about the novel.

  1. Yes, the stealing, lying, shopping, partying Sylvia is a very interesting mother figure and I'm sure a paper on her immaturity in this regard would be interesting! Excellent job on you blog overall. Keep up the great thinking, reading and writing!
