After our reading in class today, I went back and looked at some of the tabs I made. One of them that I was really wondering about is why Doaker insists on talking about the railroad lines and the building of them. He almost uses them as a parallel for his life I think. I think the author might be trying to give us an idea of his wisdom and age. He, so far, seems like the reasonable, thoughtful man of the group.
I also commented: "I was also wondering that. Berniece seems to be verryy attached to the piano and I would maybe like to know why. I would also like to know why Boy Willie wants to sell it so bad." on Rachel Cooper's blog.
I put the same tab in my book about Doaker talking about the railroad. I'm pretty sure it is a metaphor for his life, but I didn't think it was to clearly stated in the book
