Answer 1

Ans.

During the beginning of the story, the narrator and Sonny and very distant from each other. The narrator couldn't understand Sonny's love for music. However, in the end, he finally accepts him and his dream of becoming a musician.

From the very beginning of the story, Sonny and his brother have a troubled relationship. Guilt and unsatisfied expectations make up the majority of their dealings with each other. From the older brother's perspective, Sonny cannot handle responsibility. From Sonny's viewpoint, his brother does not understand him.

He asks Sonny what he plans to do with his life, and this is the first time the narrator hears that Sonny wants to be a musician. Sonny tells the narrator that he wants to play piano, and the narrator slips into big-brother mode. He worries that Sonny won't be able to make a living as a musician.

In "Sonny's Blues," a man finally comes to understand the darkness and suffering that consumes his brother, and he begins to appreciate the music that his brother uses to calm those blues. The main theme of "Sonny's Blues" is suffering, particularly the sufferings of black people in America.

These main conflicts include: the internal conflict Sonny's brother goes through to keep his promise to his mother of watching out for Sonny, Sonny's struggles (both internal and with substance abuse), and the race-related problems occurring in Harlem at the time the story takes place

Sonny and his brother both serve in the war, and each returns to find a radically different life in America. ... “Sonny's Blues” is a testimony to both the frustration of life in America's cities and the eventual transformation of that frustration into a political and artistic movement.

But really, the whole story is about the blues that Sonny must battle as he struggles to recover from drug addiction. He has the blues from growing up in a tough Harlem neighborhood. ... So, yes, the "blues" in the title might be about Sonny's emotions, but they might also refer to the music he plays.
