Journal #6 for The Piano Lesson

in act 2 scene 2, i found it very surprising that Avery wanted to marry Berniece. i also tabbed that section as 'plot and structure' because i thought it was a twist in the plot. since Berniece was so upset about Crawley and crawley came up alot during the conversation, i'd say Berniece had a romantic history with Crawley and that's why she's still upset. i still don't see why she thinks Boy Willie was the one who pushed him. i thought Avery brought up Sutter's ghost because he wanted to make a compromie with berniece (marriage for a house blessing) but that didn't happen, which also surprised me. we also learned the biggest reason that Berniece wont sell the piano. since she opened up to Avery about that, i assume she will eventually agree to marry him, especially because he has alot to offer her, like the house he just got.
