Compare and contrast ″sonny blues″ by james baldwin to Beneatha in ′a Raisin in the Sun′.

Disillusionment is defined as “a feeling of disappointment resulting from the discovery that something is not as good as one believed it to be.” When we become disillusioned, we may begin to make choices that drive us deeper into disappointment and dissatisfaction, or we may begin to make choices that will help us respond to and overcome our sense of disappointment. In many of the texts that we have read this semester, the lives of the central characters are all shaped by a sense of disillusionment. Choose a text that we read this semester to put into conversation with ″Sonny′s Blues″ with regard to the issue of disillusionment. Write an essay in which you explore the causes for the characters’ disillusionment and the extent to which they are able to overcome their disappointment or dissatisfaction with their discovery that “something is not as good as [they] believed it to be.” In a compare-contrast essay, you should be sure that you compare corresponding elements of the stories rather than writing separate paragraphs about each character or about each story. The next few paragraphs provide a potential outline and some guiding questions to help you through each paragraph.

Was one’s experience of disillusionment more serious than the other’s? Why or why not? Did one have more control over his own life experiences than the other? Was one struggling with an internal disillusionment while one struggled with an external disillusionment? How do those differ in the way they play out for the character? You don’t have to answer all of these questions, but they are here to guide you into making an argument rather than just summarizing the plot of the story, which is NOT what you want to do. You need to reveal your opinion of these characters and their struggle rather than telling your reader only what happened. Your next body paragraph could be about the impact of the sense of disillusionment on each character and whether they react to their own sense of disillusionment in a way that you think is effective or ineffective or successful or unsuccessful. Again, remember that it’s important for you to incorporate your own perspective about their actions rather than just telling your reader what their actions were. Your final body paragraph could be about whether or not each character was able to overcome his sense of disillusionment and, if he were able to overcome it, how did he manage to do so? Which of these characters might serve as a role model or which of these characters is the most human in the way that they address their own struggles? Which characters do you admire? Which characters do you feel sympathy for?
