During the passage that we read today, one of the questions that I had was if they would ever actually get Berniece to sell the piano. We don't know why it's so important to her yet, but I suspect that we will find out soon. I don't think that Berniece will sell the piano in the end, because her character seems very stubborn. Boy Willie says that the piano is worth a lot of money, and he seems very determined to sell it, but I feel that Berniece's stubbornness outweighs his determination.

I commented,
"I think Boy Willie is probably the only one who says the n-word because it seems to emphasize his personality. He seems to be somewhat rude and disrespectful."
