Read and annotate to p. 65 in Wilson's The Piano Lesson. Write one well-developed paragraph (6-8 sentences) in response to one of the following questions. (Be sure to type and print your response.)
1. After Doaker explains the history of the piano and its place in the Charles and Sutter families, Boy Willie says, "All that's in the past" (p. 46). Do you think Boy Willie is justified in thinking of the piano only in terms of the present? (You might find it helpful to consider more than just Boy Willie's lines on p. 46 to support your position.)
2. In Act One, Scene 2, Berniece and Boy Willie lay out their claims on the piano (pp. 51-54). Who makes the better case? Who do you think is right? Why?
