According to the passage the statement that is being brought about is that, just because you come from the same background or the same household doesn't mean the things you do or the life you live will be the same there be differences some would turn out to be bigger some would be more simple and exact. For example in the passage Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin you have Sonny abs his older brother. They are the complete opposite of each other, while Sonny is an heroin addict and was recently arrested for using herioin and peddling you had his older brother who was a high school algebra teacher. I don't feel as though the author is supporting one lifestyle over the other, I feels like he's just trying to point out that just because you come come from the same household there still is two people who have to different personalities, different, expectation for their lives , different ideas or plans on how they want to live their lives. In the passage Sonny's older brother continously referred to the life that his brother decided to live as the darkness in "they were filled with rage.All they really knew were two darknesses, the the darkness of their lives, which had blinded them to that other darkness, and in which they know,vindictively, dreamed , at once more together than they were at any other time, and more alone.
