I was glad that in the second scene of act 1 Doaker explains why Berniece is so reluctant to let Boy Willy sell the piano. I would seem that it contains the full history of their family; it is isn't surprising that Berniece is unwilling to sell such an heirloom. Another thing that makes it special is the sacrifice made by Berniece's father to get the piano into their family's possession. It makes sense that she would have an emotional attachment to the instrument. One other thing that I am glad they explained is the ghosts of the Yellow Dog. I wasn't sure what the Yellow Dog was. It makes more sense now that I understand that the ghosts are the ones burned in the box car with Boy Charles, and that the Yellow Dog is a train.
- I wonder if the Ghosts of the Yellow Dog will have any connection to Sutter's ghost, which was seen earlier in the story. I think the ghosts could impact the characters more later in the story.
