Journal #4 for The Piano Lesson

in the passage i read, berniece becomes very upset about Crawley's death and blames Boy Willie. i find this very odd because i didn;t think she even knew Crawley hat well, and her sudden anger kind of came up from nothing. it was odd. anoher thing i am confused about is the part where it says they heard Sutter's ghost several times, i didn't understand if that was rea or not because they seemes to just ignore it. another question i have is why is the author suddenly intoroducing so many deaths, is it to prove a point? one thing i did find amusing was them trying to move the piano. i think they eventually will sell the piano, or maybe half, and then have to get it back. maybe the way they get it back will represent the way the white lady got the memory of her slaves back through the piano carvings

  1. I was confused too when Wilson talks about the ghost several times but just seems to ignore it. I understood though why the author was talking about so many deaths because I think Wilson is trying to say that so many people died just so they wouldn't get there hands on the piano.
