The Piano Lesson #4

On todays reading I realized just how good Wining Boy and Boy Willy are at getting peoples money. During this I began to wonder why Boy Willy wouldnt just think of a way to make money other than selling the paino, because than Burniece would be happy and they wouldnt lose the import symbol to their family. "He got in a tussle with one of them white fellows and the sheriff lit on him like white on rice", Wining Boy talked about Lymons daddy and I thought that was an interesting way to put how the sheriff reacted towards it. But I was also confused about what he ment, because white rice is suposed to be white. So I don't really think that this makes sense. Although Doaker was trying to do Burniece a favor m\by not mentioning  that he saw Sutters and heard him playing the piano, I think that he should have told Burniece and everyone else when Burniece saw sutters ghost instead of making everyone question her.

  1. I also wonder what else Doaker is keeping a secret about. I think that eventually he will start telling people more.

  2. I understand why he would keep the ghost a secret because he is the one who can sympathize the most with Berniece, for he was the one who lived with Berniece for that past years, and understands that she is barely making enough money to support them.
