In "Sonny's Blues" how does the order in which events are related later in the story affect your experience of reading it and interpreting its...

Baldwin intends for the reader to experience Sonny's
troubles, the narrator's struggles to understand his brother, and the moment in which
the two brothers come together.  The attached link on writing style suggests that the
end of the story provides a catharsis in which Sonny is relieved from the pressure of
his life by playing his music.  The narrator has decided to go see Sonny play, so he is
there to witness this release.  We, the reading audience, are also "there" watching the
event unfold, and therefore, we are part of Sonny's catharsis.  The story moves around
in time, and sometimes readers might feel lost in the time shifts.  This is symbolic of
the trouble that has plagued Sonny's life and of the difficulty that the narrator has
had trying to understand the choices that his brother has made in life.  But these
events come together in the end when the narrator understands how music has shaped--and
saved--his brother's life.
