11-29-10 The Piano Lesson

Wow, Lymon is a pretty nice guy. Compared to Boy Willie, he seems to care about the women he consorts with. Lymon may be quiet, but he really is quite thoughtful. It is rather strange that Lymon kisses Berniece. He seems to be flirting with her, but not being rude or to much to the point. Lymon claims to want to settle down and live a peaceful life with a women that returns the love he would give. I really like Lymon, this scene revealed quite a bit about his personality. Its rather sad the sheriff is out looking for him, it makes it hard to settle down when people are hunting you down.

Comment on Olivia's Blog:
I agree with your comment on abstinence. I think that people were a lot more straightforward and open about their feelings. Avery is quite the example. Trying to marry Berniece so intently and all.

  1. I agree. Lymon, does have some affairs with Bernice. This can foreshadow how Avery’s and Lymon’s relate as far as thing are going in the book. Yes; Lymon’s behavior becomes somewhat questionable at one point, but does not go too extreme.
