It seems that Berniece and Boy Willy can never agree on anything. They are always arguing about one thing or another. They both seem to have good arguments though. Boy Willy is very practical with his reasoning for selling the piano to buy Sutter's Land. He appears to be very passionate about it. Berniece also has good reasons for keeping the piano; Wining Boy and Doaker also seem to support keeping the instrument. Berniece not only disagrees with Boy Willy about the piano, but also accuses him of being directly involved with the death of her husband. She says that if he hadn't come to get Crawly in the first place, he wouldn't have gotten killed. Although she is probably right, Boy Willy argues that it was Crawley's fault he got killed. Whether or not Crawly was asking for trouble doesn't seem to matter though, as Boy Willy and Berniece don't seem to be coming to an agreement about anything.
- I agree that the author is trying to say something about Boy Willy's inflexibility involving the issue with Sutter's land. I'm interested to see if Boy willy and Berniece can come to a compromise about it.
