Develop the issue into an argumentative essay. for example, what is the role of music in the play? some other topics include ghosts, trains or transportation, freedom vs. captivity, North and South, piano vs. land, the Past vs. Present, life vs. memory ( or death). Pick a symbol or few related symbols to discuss: The piano, the ghost as a symbol, trains, colors, clothing, or watermelons. Boy Willie and Berniece have conflicting ideas of the importance of the piano. Who is right about what they should do with the piano? write an essay that explores the difference and significance of these two characters' attitude about the piano. As a symbol, the piano represents something very different to each of them. which of the perspective is best? Be careful not to simply retell the story and the characters' positions.
