The Piano Lesson #5

The play is starting to give off kind of a strange mood. I feel like the book isn't really going anywhere (there's quite a bit of time spent on the suit and dirty jokes) but I know that something big has to happen, or else it would be completely pointless. I was a little bit surprised at the sexual humor, it really kind of brought down the maturity level, which, unfortunately, isn't a good thing, in my opinion. I also wonder if maybe the suit/the way Wining Boy sold the suit to Lymon symbolizes something. I think it reveals a little bit about Lymon's character; he doesn't really think about it at all, he just buys it because it makes him look good. I think this might be foreshadowing that he might make quick, thoughtless decisions in the future.


My comment on Berit Foster's:
Whoa! That was the suit of the dead guy?!? I didn't even know that, that's a really good observation. That's kind of creepy, it makes sense to why Wining Boy was trying to sell it, though...
