Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin

The story Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin was very interesting to me.  This short story is very relatable, Sonny reminds me of a lot of people I know.  What I like most about this short story is it reminds me of where I am from.  Although it is not a very friendly envirornment it is still home and I love it.  Also Sonny's brother reminds me of my sister Telese, always looking out for his siblings. I feel like this story talks a lot about family and drugs. I know a couple people that are on drugs and I think it is a terible thing that they do to you. I think that people go to extreme levels to get the drugs they want. For me I think it is wrong to take it to the next level just to get high. From my experience with people on drugs it seems like the drug has all control over you and that craving never goes away. Even if you have been off drugs for years without touching them you will always crave it. That is why I feel that drugs are extremely bad and Sonny's brother was right about everything.
