Journal 6

I truly did enjoy reading "Sonny's Blues," by James Baldwin, it was truly heartwarming to finally read a story where the troubled person in the plot line of the story doesn't get into more trouble or die at the end.  There was one thing; however,  that I would have changed in this story and that would be to give the name of the narrator which is Sonny's brother.  The whole time while reading I was waiting for the story to reveal the narrator's name.  I feel that if they would have gave this character a name it would have made the story more inviting. If I were to give this man a name it would be Julius, Julius is the name of an African American character in the movie "Remember the Titans." In this movie Julius is a person with high character and is counted on by many.  I believe that the narrator in this story is synonymous with Julius and that is why I would name that.
