In Act Two Scene Three, I thought it was very interesting that Boy Willie brought a girl home, Grace. I thought it was very rude of him to do that because it was not his house and Berniece is mad at him anyway. Another thing I thought that was interesting was how much the author brought Grace's ex-boyfriend in. He was only mentioned twice but he had a story that I think the author would have liked to elaborated on but couldn't. Another thing that shocked me was when Lymon kissed Berniece and she kissed him back. I saw it coming but I was hoping it wasn't so, but it was. I think if they get into a relationship its gonna cause some type of bad trouble. I don't know with who, but with a not so good someone.

"I also thought it was kind of funny when Boy Willie brought a girl into the house. I also had the same question about Lymon and Berniece."
Good points. Do you think that Berniece will chose Lymon or Avery? Or even neither? It's strange that the author doesn't pick a side, but rather makes the reader form an opinion themselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the kiss was surprising, even thought he author started to give hints and foreshadow to it. I wonder what Avery will do if he finds out and if it will cause conflict with Boy Willie or Maretha. I think Berniece clearly prefers Lymon but I wonder if she will marry Avery and try to avoid conflict.
ReplyDeleteI think that Grace's boyfriend was a little interesting because it seems weird to put him in the story when all the characters up to then knew each other through some kind of family relation.
ReplyDeleteAs for college bound books, I like the way the following web site is organized: http://als.lib.wi.us/Collegebound.html.But one of my favorite ways to read "smart" books is to pick a recognized award and read all of its books. For example, all the nobel prize winners in literature, the pulitzer, or the booker awards.
