This research paper: An 8 page research paper/essay that analyzes Baldwin's short story "Sonny's Blues." Baldwin dramatizes how the older brother comes to understand this through his expert use of language. Using metaphor and simile, Baldwin's language becomes analogous to the jazz that Sonny plays, informing the reader, as well as the older brother, about the whole genre of African American expression that is called the blues and why it particularly expresses the life of black people at the time of the stories (the 1950s). Bibliography lists 4 sources.
