Something that caught my attention while reading was when Boy Willie is talking about Berniece he said: " She believe in anything if it's convenient for her to believe. But when the convenience run out then she ain't got nothing to stand on" (35). I found this interesting because it seems to me that Boy Willie is always saying negative things about Berniece and always undermining her feelings and acting as if what she feels or says doesn't matter. Another example is when he tells the other boys that he is going to go ahead and sell the piano even though Berniece said that she wasn't going to sell it.
Comment:I think you have a very interesting point there. There could possibly be a real ghost but the thought that everyone is covering up acts of a murderer actually makes sense. If people just say it's a ghost there really isn't anyone to blame for the deaths.
