The Piano Lesson 6

During Act Two, scene 2 while Berniece was speaking to Avery I totally agreed with her point of view on women. When she said, "You trying to tell me a women can't be nothing without a man. But you alright, [...] Everybody telling me I can't be a women unless I got a man"(67). I completely agree with everything Berniece was saying. Why is it okay for a man to go without a women but it's not okay for a women to go without a man? I know it doesn't happen so much today but I feel like there is still this sense that women are looked down on if they don't have a man by there side. But it always seems to be okay if the man doesn't have a women. After reading the scene I think those issues will come up again.

Comment: The whole thing with Berniece bringing her past with her reminds me of the silent discussion we had in English One point I brought up then was learning from your past and moving on which is what Berniece needs to do now.
