The Piano Lesson Journal 4

I find it interesting how often Berniece and Boy Willy are seemingly always fighting. If its not over the piano and whether to sell it or not its talking about how Boy Willy is responsible for Crawley's death.  I wonder if their fighting will be the main conflict in this play. However, the conflict also could be something else and this is just syntax. Although we're a good chunk of the way through this play I wonder if our lesson on how the climax often comes near the end of the book will fit with this piece of literature.

I agree that something will happen to them or the piano as the play is called The Piano Lesson however I'm not sure what. Maybe Boy Willy will take it and sell it like he's said he will do.

  1. Austin, I was also thinking about the fact that were half way through the book and I have no idea what the conflict/resolution could be. Hopefully it will be exciting. I'm also wondering what the author was thinking when he decided to have Berniece and Boy Willie argue so much.
