journal #3 for The Piano Lesson

in the third oassage, i found it interesting how graphic the story about the piano was, with the burning of the boxcars. i also find it odd that there are so many deaths in this story and we're finding out about them so early. i wonder how many more there are to come. i didn't really understand Wining Boy's difference between a colored man and a white man. i don't think he explained that very well. i also don't understand why the yellow dog ghosts have the name they do if they were hobos, that part confused me. one thing i did like was the story of the piano, it makes me wonder how the author came up with such a thing, but it is quite creative. what i dont understand is why the boys stole it.
