Journal #17

Something that surprised me in today's reading was how fast the watermelons sold. Judging by the rascism that is evident so far I wouldn't have thought that the white people in the neighborhood wouldn't have wanted to buy from people of a different color. But apparently Boy Willie could even raise the price. I also realized how cheap Wining Boy was when he kept asking his brother for money and when he agreed to give him some he asked more more.

Comment: I agree that Wining Boy cheating Lymon is important. It enhanced my idea of both the characters as well.

  1. I don't really like Wining Boy, especially when he was trying to get Doaker to give him more money. You're right, he's really cheap.
