The Piano Lesson Journal 1

This book I believe is much like the cover, abstract to say the least. The book starts off with this quaint, fractured characters who are almost all relatives of each other. This might be foreshadowing, albeit oddly placed, of the fractured family itself. By just a few pages in we have a rough idea of what the family dynamic looks like. Its clear in my mind that a majority of this book will have something to do with this family and the same structure will continue throughout, just with more details about them.

I agree that the words the author chooses to use such as "stillness" "coming together" etc seem to be foreshadowing something. Also it seems clear that on top of personification the author chose to include night vs dark in the quote - "The dawn is beginning to announce itself, but there is something in the air that belongs to the night"
