Viewing literature through a particular “lens” or interpretive frame often serves to provide deeper insight into the literary text. To that end, I am asking that you respond to the following in a well-developed, well-organized essay of between three and four pages:
Discuss how Either Sonny OR the narrator in “Sonny’s Blues” struggle with and develop their own identities, keeping in mind their unique social and personal situations. To strengthen your argument, I am asking that you use Abraham Maslow’s “Self-Actualization and Beyond” as the text through which you interpret the literary text.
Be sure that you develop an argument in your paper. As you develop your thesis consider the following questions:
What obstacles does the character face on his path to self-actualization?
How does the character respond to these obstacles?
Does the character achieve self-actualization? What leads to it?
