Revise this passage, an exchange between Lymon and Avery, into correct Standard English. After doing so, think about the difference the change in language would make in the scene.
LYMON: How you know the rope ain’t gonna break? Ain’t you scared the rope’s gonna break?
AVERY: That’s steel. They got steel cables hold it up. It take a whole lot of breaking to break that steel. Naw, I ain’t worried about nothing like that. It ain’t nothing but a little old elevator. Now, I wouldn’t get in none of them airplanes. You couldn’t pay me to do nothing like that.
Here are the classwork guiding questions for note-taking:
Act I, Scene 1 (continued)
3. Classify the characters who have appeared so far with a brief description and some evidence of their character cited from the text. (Boy Willie, Lymon, Doaker, Berniece, Maretha, Avery, Wining Boy)
4. What or who are the "Ghosts of the Yellow Dog"?
5. Compare and contrast Boy Willie's attitude toward the piano with Berniece's.
6. How does the allusion at the end of the scene influence your evaluation of Boy Willie's attitude toward the piano?
