Based on my options and opinions I decide to select these two topics: (“Sonny’s Blues” By James Baldwin’s and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid’s). I’m going to do a compare and contrast about these two fabulous stories that are based in teens daily struggle life. Both stories could be real situations of all of us in today’s days.
