Piano Lesson 5
On part the really striked me was when Wining Boy was trying to sell Lymon his suit and shoes. "You can look at my feet and see we wear the same size. Man, you put on that suit and them shoes and you got something there"(62). I underlined those snippets of the sentences because I thought it showed how much Wining Boy was desperate for money. And I was a little shocked that he sold those to Lymon. This passage tells us that Lymon probably isn't the smartest person, or he gives into his wants easily or that he is easily convinced.

I had the same feeling when Wining Boy was selling the suit too Lymon, it just didn't seem right. I think I will see if Wining Boy will do anything else too.

That idea is interesting because Wining Boy seems to have a double purpose for persuading Lymon to buy the suit. The first is that, as you have mentioned, Lymon is easily persuaded into purchasing it. The second reason might be in order to return the cash to Doaker (the character who he recently asked five dollars from).

I had the same thoughts. I think that Lymon got taken advantage of but he wouldn't realize that unless some one told him. I am hoping that doesn't happen alot to him, because it seems like Wining Boy knew he could persuade him and I think Lymon has been used before.
