- Good insight. I wonder if we will learn more about Berniece and Boy Willie's history as to why they fight so much and i also wonder if other siblings will come into play?

piano lesson journal 2
Today's reading went better than yesterday's reading, I think the story becomes easier to read as you get used to the language and context. One thing that I noticed was how little the setting is described. Since this is written to be preformed as a play the audience would simply see the setting. Whereas in a novel the author typically goes into great deal about the setting and that often plays a huge role in the meaning of the story. So I find it harder with this story because we know so little about the setting it's hard to picture it. It's more telling and less showing.

I agree, I didn't really notice that before. I wonder whether the author intentionally decided to not include some facts about the setting or if its more a product of the fact that its a play instead of a novel. Maybe that's something that is just lost in this type of literature.
