In “Sonny's Blues,” author James Baldwin used the first person as narration. Its first-person narrator was a main character in the story who shared dialogue very consistently throughout the story with other characters. The narrator is "Sonny's Blues" and includes his own thoughts and actions. In “Lusus Naturae,” Margaret Atwood also used the first person. Although Atwood and Baldwin used the narrator as the main character of the story, the narrator of "Lusus Naturae" was different from the narrator of "Sonny's Blues". The narrator of “Lusus Naturae” used very little dialogue with the other characters. Atwood's narrator never heard back from another character and the narrator's motivations were explained through the description of his actions in the story. “Lusus Naturae” would be easier for a reader to understand based on how the author used the narrator's point of view and how he used the dialogue between the narrator and the other characters in the film.
