Call and Response Reflection on Sonny’s Blues

 

CHOOSE ONE OF THE BELOW TO ANSWER HAVE TO INCLUDE SOME QOUTE IN THE ESSAY.THANKS.
1. Suffering Baldwin in an interview states that “The only thing that can heal us of our selfishness is suffering.” What does he mean by this? Further on in the same interview reflecting on his childhood, he said, “At some point you have to realize that your suffering does not isolate you; your suffering is your bridge to other people.” Write about a time in your life when you suffered deeply and reflect on how this experience changed you. Did it, like Baldwin suggests, connect you in a deeper way to others, and make you less self centered? How so? Or if not – why do you think Baldwin is wrong, or why do you think you did not have that experience.

2. What’s in a name? In his essay “Living with the Music” Ralph Ellison writes about the meaning of Charlie Parker’s nickname (Bird). He writes that “nicknames are indicative of a change from a given to an achieved identity, whether by rise or by fall, and they tell us something about the nicknamed individuals interaction with his fellows.” Consider your own given name. How do you relate to the name bestowed upon you at birth? Do you like it? Are you comfortable with your name? Proud? Hate it? Do you feel it defines you? Do you have a nickname? How did you get it? What do you feel about it – do you think your nickname is a truer representation of your identity? What nickname would you give yourself?

3. Acceptance and Authenticity Like Sonny, have you ever had to fight for acceptance because you needed to be true to yourself? Who do you think is your authentic self and why do you think it would be challenging for those around you? Sonny’s brother looked down on Jazz musicians, he associated them with drugs and a sketchy lifestyle. Because of this, their relationship broke down and Sonny had to go out on his own and find himself. Did you ever have to finally turn your back on family or friends and find a group that accepts you – where you can be free to express yourself in your own way? If so, please relate this story. Discuss how acceptance finally came or if not, why not – what do you think people (the ones you know) are afraid of? Why are they so resistant?

4. Acceptance and Understanding Or like the narrator, have you ever first resisted accepting someone’s choices, been a bad “brother” (maybe a sister/friend) only to turn around and realize how much you misunderstood, or how you let your own fears get in the way and that once you began listening you understood? Please relate that story.
