Journal #7

    In the beginning of Scene 5, we experience some brother-sister bickering. Boy Willie and Berniece argue about almost everything. They even bring Mareatha into all of it, when Boy Willie starts telling Berniece how to talk to her daughter. I did have an Ah Ha moment when Boy Willie explained what the Yellow Doy thing really was. I was confused about that the whole book but it makes sense now. I really found Boy Willie's monologue, about how he isn't afraid of death, very interesting. Also, when he talks about his fathers hands. Those hands become a symbol that represent family history and creation. Boy Willie's dad's creative hands are the whole reason the piano is here. Berniece also threatens Willie with a gun with i think is a little drastic over a piano.
