piano lesson journal 6

I liked how Doaker tries to be a leader but he doesn't do it in a rude and obnoxious way. He tries to lead by example and be sort of a silent, but powerful leader. A lot of times Boy Willie just blows and Wining Boy and the other characters just blow him off and treat him like he's a pushover because he isn't as loud and rude as the rest of them. And you can tell he struggles with the way he thinks is appropriate to act, and his feelings towards the other characters and his need to be heard. I think people can relate to how doaker feels trying to get others to listen to him.

I agree that certain things show that this play takes place awhile ago but i don't agree that it's because of their attitudes towards women. Treating women like objects and womens rights is a very modern and current problem in many other parts of the world, and there are plenty of men who act like that today in our society. (* note: i was absent for a few days so that's why my journals are out of order)

  1. I think that is a very insightful point to make. I had not really thought about that. You are right, Doaker is a man that leads by example, not by giving orders.
