I personally think that each person has different point of view in life. In this case the story is trying to point out that people should have more communication in order to have better relationship with others and that life is not about rush, you need your family to support you and you also have to make big decisions regarding what steps you need to take next. Sonny and his brother have different perspective about life but one of the main things Sonny was told to do was to finish his education. I think that the author is supporting both ways of living because Sonny's brother was left with a big responsibility this was to take care of his brother and in the other hand Sonny decided how he was going to live his life and that some how in his own world he was going to be successful as a musician. After what happen to their father this was not the best choice that Sonny was making in the eyes of his older brother.
The setting and time period of the story affect the life and circumstances of sonny and his brother because like I said before they didn't have a good communication, they only saw each other from time to time and the people that surround Sonny in Harlem didn't help that much either. I also think that Sonny's brother miss a lot of situation that Sonny had when he was not around forgetting about the promise that he made to his mother this is why he finally support his brother at the very end of the story.
