Journal #2 for The Piano Lesson
In the passage we red in the piano lesontoday, we learned the importance of the piano. i wonder if lymon and his friend will ever get her to sell it. i have an ide that maybe they do sell it and the book will be about them trying to get it back, or maybe the piano is like a metaphor that represents the theme of the book. one thing i didn't understand was the point of the ghost and why he had something to do with Lymon. it alost seems like the book is going to lead into a murder mystery, but i don't see how that would relate to the piano, plus the tone that's been set sofar doesn't seem like it's leading into a mystery. i also dont understand why all the characters are rndomly deciding to meet at doaker's house, but we might find out more about that later. even though the book has some small unexplained questions, the author is still good at having the characters tell stories and explain what's going on in a way that the reader can understand.

I like your idea about how the piano may be the main thing in the book and I definitely agree with you. I think maybe throughout the whole book Boy Willie tries to get Berniece to sell the piano and then in the end realizes that she either sells it or doesn't but helps him some other way to get the money. But I do like your idea about the piano too. I didn't understand either why all the characters are meeting up at Doaker's house.
