- What does darkness mean in this piece?
- Darkness is one common theme in this piece. What are some other themes you see present in the piece? Pay particular attention to words, concepts, and images that keep repeating themselves.
- Pick a scene that happens between two or more characters. (Sonny and the narrator, the narrator and his mother, the narrator and the boy near the subway, etc). What is the significance of these exchanges? What do we learn about the characters? The plot? The conflict? The world of the piece?
As you're reading the other two pieces, All Girl Football-Team and Virgins, take notes on the themes you see present there. We will discuss them in class Thursday.
