FSW Narrator and Point of View Discussion

 

I need an explanation for this Literature question to help me study.

In this module, you will be reading about plot and narrator in fiction, both of which are necessary for an effective narrator. In “Sonny’s Blues,” Baldwin has two main characters: Sonny and his brother. They each choose very different lifestyles and have a very difficult time understanding each other’s choices. Sonny’s brother often narrates with a sense of bafflement over Sonny’s love of music and drug addition–both part of the world that he inhabits.

After reading the story, reflect on an incident when you and a family member took a very different perspective. Why did you “see” this event differently? How was it resolved?
