Today, we're briefly going to look at few more elements of setting in The Piano Lesson. We're first going to discuss Parchman Farm and how it relates to the motives of Boy Willie and Lymon.
We're also going to listen to "Parchman Farm Blues," and "Early in the Morning" to get a greater sense of what Parchman Farm represented to Southern blacks in the 1930's.
After discussing these elements of setting and how they help develop characters, theme, and conflict, you will resume reading the play in your groups. You should get through Scene 1 of Act 2 by the end of class. If you do not get there by the end of class, whatever you have left to get up to that point must be read for homework.
Please leave yourself 5-10 minutes at the end of class to complete the exit ticket.
