prediction for Sonny...

I think Sonny will start to like where he lives.  Maybe it's just something he has to grow into and adjust to everything that has changed.  He doesn't have his grandmother anymore, which is the one thing that kept him tight with his extended family.  He never really knew his dad, so i think he feels like Clyde is trying to fill that spot.  He's sort of at an age where it's too late for him to become attached to a stepdad.  Hopefully he and Clyde will get along and there won't be jealousy issues over Sylvia, Sonny's mother.  He's really close to her, and admires her beauty and wants to make her happy.  He stays out of her way and does what he is told.  Sonny is the type of person who wants to please people even if it jeopardizes his own happiness.  I think by the end of the novel, Sonny will have gone through some problems and become more of a man.  Maybe the man-figure that he never had for himself.
