The+Piano+Lesson

__**Period 2**__

Pay special attention to these questions while reading //The Piano Lesson//. The guided discussion will focus much around them.
 * Reading Questions**

1) Discuss the development of the piano as a symbol throughout the novel.

2) What is the purpose of Sutter's ghost? Pay attention to the times of arrival and departure (what causes him to come and leave?).

3) Whose intentions are best for the piano? Who does it rightfully belong to?

4) Examine the relationship between Boy Willie and Berniece. Besides the piano, what causes the friction between them?
