From our reading last class, I tabbed several things including maybe a reason for Boy Willie seeking to sell the piano so aggressively. On my tab, I noted that it really seems like Boy Willie is less concerned about the history on the piano, and more concerned about the fact that it was partially his father's. I believe he is searching for some gratification for his father's death; some justification. He needs to feel like his dad died for a reason, and that his life will be honored after death. Boy Willie believes he can achieve this feeling by selling the piano to make success of it.
I also commented: "Austin, I was also thinking about the fact that were half way through the book and I have no idea what the conflict/resolution could be. Hopefully it will be exciting. I'm also wondering what the author was thinking when he decided to have Berniece and Boy Willie argue so much." on Austin's blog.
