: Hello,
: I'm new to Baldwin, but I love this essay. His writing style suits perfectly the Harlem environment he seeks to describe.

: But I do have a question. I am currently doing a critical ysis of "Sonny's Blues," and I am discussing my theory that the story is symbolic of the need for American blacks to stand up and escape the poverty of the ghetto, if not physically then mentally, during the civil rights movement of the middle 20th century. Does anyone have any advice for me. I have quite a bit of support, but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

: Thanks

me too. its due next week for me!
