Defend Boy Willie's Scheme for Buying Sutter's Land.
In The Piano
Lesson, written by August Wilson, Boy Willie devises a scheme for buying
Sutter's land. Boy Willie has one part of the money saved up. He will sell the
watermelons for the second part. Then he will sell the piano for a third part.
The only debating issue in Boy Willie's scheme is the piano. Berniece does not
want to sell the piano. This is the only reason for a defense in Boy Willie's
scheme. Therefore, I will defend Boy Willie's issue of selling the piano and how
that liberates him in reference to his scheme for buying Sutter's land.
The
first defense is the usage of the piano. In Wilson's novel, Berniece never uses
the piano, Boy Willie: " You can't do nothing with that piano except sit up
there and look at it", Berniece, "That's just what I'm gonna do" (p.50). The
piano is a "sentimental value" (p.51) to Berniece. Her father died over the
piano (p.42-46). Boy Willie argues even though the piano is of sentimental
value, Berniece is not using it. He wants to sell it in order to buy land, seed,
and workers, which will in turn produce a crop, and something will come out of
that (p.51).
The second defense is that of equality. Boy Willie believes how
a certain individual perceives himself determines what that individual really is
in reality (p.92). He also believes that white men have one advantage over black
men and that is, " The colored man can't fix nothing with the law" (p.38). Boy
Willie desires to be equal to the white man (p.92). Also, equality ties into the
above paragraph in which Berniece does not use the piano. Boy Willie will use
the money from the piano along with the profit from the other two sources and
get his land. Obtaining this goal will make him equal to the white man (p.92).
Boy Willie will never work for anyone other than for himself.
The last
defense is that of Boy Willie's father. Boy Willie admires his father. He
remembers one key thing about his father as a child, " I got these big old hands
but what I'm gonna do with them?" He feels that the piano was his father's gift
to him (p.46). Boy Willie's grandfather did not have anything to leave Boy
Willie's father but Boy Willie's feels that his father left him the piano. He
uses this in one argumental conversation against Berniece (p.46). Boy Willie
strongly feels that if his father had the opportunity to possess his own land
then his father would have sold the piano (p.51, 88, 94).
Throughout the
novel Boy Willie and his sister, Berniece, struggle over the conflict in the
selling of the piano. Boy Willie doesn't want to follow the rules. He lives but
what he believes is right and true (p.38). Boy Willie doesn't want to live
quietly and go long with the way everything is. He wants to leave his mark
everywhere he goes (p.94). I believe the above paragraphs well defend Boy
Willie's arguments with the issue with the piano. Everyone, regardless who you
are, wants to become something more. Everyone has dreams. I know I
do.
