My prediction for The Flowers

     In the novel The Flowers I predict that Sonny will begin to grow a rift or disliking between him and Cloyde. There already seems to be tension between them, as seen when Sonny states, " All you had to do was look around the apartment to know this Cloyde wasn't right for either of us." (pg 19). He explains that the items around their apartment was not who Sonny and Sylvia were. Will this create tension between the two men? Or will this serperate Sonny and his mother, Sylvia.? I am predicting that this is a start of tension between Sonny and Cloyde. Eventually it will develop a bad relationship with his mother. Sonny also reveils in the novel that he had never really been close to his mother because she was always to busy for him. Sonny even says, " It was my mom, if she wasn't at her job, was out on dates and whatever. And sometimes she'd get in so late I wouldn't be awake." (pg 5) The statement proves the even from the beginning that Sonny was never really close to his mother, so maybe he relationship with his mother will get worse.
