My favorite short story so far was "Sonny's Blues." I loved how the brother told the story from his point of view but in the end we got to see it a bit more from Sonny's point of view. I had a cousin who died of a heroine overdose so this story put her story into perspective for me. Everyone has a reason for the things they do, its just that we don't always know or understand what the reasoning is. People struggle with addictions everyday but I could never fully understand why my cousin did what she did. Addicts have a hard time seeing their lives without their addiction, which is probably the hardest thing to overcome. So this story was extremely enlightening for me in that respect.
