One of the things that I noticed while we were reading was that Berniece seems very suspicious. She was very reserved and didn't seem very ready to have a conversation with Boy Willy. She also seemed intent on getting Boy Willy and Lymon out of the house. Accusing Lymon of stealing his truck, Berniece was very direct about asking him and Boy Willy how they acquired the vehicle and what they intend to do at her house. Another thing that makes her character seem suspicious was when she said that she thinks Boy Willy pushed Sutter down his well. She might have good reason for her concern though, as Boy Willy seems like the kind of person that would get involved in unlawful activities. Willy also expressed his desire to sell the piano, another reason for Berniece to feel threatened.
- I also think that Boy Willy could be up to something illegal. He seems very indirect and reluctant to tell people anything that doesn't further his cause of buying Sutter's land.
