I wonder why they never cared about what was going on in Sonny's friend's life, what he had been through, if anything. And why did they not question the boy on why he was always waiting in the courtyard?

I was pretty confused when I was reading this sentence. I knew that something happened to Sonny but they were never really clear on what. But then they said he got hung so I took it in the context of he was dead, but as the story went on that was obviously not the case so now I think that they meant more so he got hung up on things he shouldn't have been.

I really liked this sentence because it gave the story the ending that it needed, this sentence showed that Sonny was okay; that he had turned over a new leaf and that he was not going back to the person he was before.
