In the passage that we read today I mostly thought that the part about Wining Boy selling the suit to Lymon was important. In my opinion it is weird that Lymon actually bought the suit. I also found it odd that Wining Boy sold it to him because he is helping sell watermelons which makes my think he doesn't have much money. It also shows how desperate Wining Boy actually is, for money. He took advantage of him, but it didn't seem like he really cared. And Lymon didn't realize he was being taken advantage of because he thinks he's going to get him some girls. In addition, I think it is weird how they seem close but they are kind of against each other (in a sense-over the piano).
my comment:
I had the same thoughts. I think that Lymon got taken advantage of but he wouldn't realize that unless some one told him. I am hoping that doesn't happen alot to him, because it seems like Wining Boy knew he could persuade him and I think Lymon has been used before.
I agree that it shows that Wining Boy is so desperate for money. I also agree on the fact that even though Wining Boy and Lymon are friends, Wining Boy is willing to rip him off.
