Sonny

Sonny first starts going to drugs because his life is hard. He is unhappy and he has no release to help him through his hard times. Someone turned him onto drugs because they said that it feels good. Sonny’s life is bad and so he figures that it would be a good idea to start doing drugs because it makes him feel better. Heroin and his drug habit become his escape from reality. It helps him get away, because he doesn’t know how else how to.
Earlier, his brother did not understand why Sonny played the piano so much, but when he finally sees his play, he realizes that music is his release now. The music that Sonny plays allows him to express himself. It is his new escape. People listen to music to make them feel better. And it is certainly a healthier way to express yourself than drugs. Sonny has struggled in his life, and it helps him express in music in such a way that it helps other people too. His piano music is full of emotion because he has struggled so much in his life.
