Idea paper

I picked Reader Response as my critical theory for the Formal paper. I would like to explore if Sonny is the typical American teen. There's a lot to go off of that because it was only three years ago that I was a teen.  My sister is currently in high school so first hand as well how the American teen behaves and interacts with one another. I decided to look at it in a sociological point of view by defining what is typical and normal. I looked at the risky behaviors I took as a teenager and the ones Sonny did. I also looked at why Sonny went to the Zungia’s to bowel. I’m going to organize it by my experiences, quotes from the novel, and a sociological perspective.
