In The Piano Lesson, Wilson uses.... to show....
When Avery talks to Berniece he is very straight forward; even though he speaks with his mind, not his heart. Everything he has to say comes from his idea that they should be together, not that he wants to be with her. "It makes for better congregation if the preacher was settled down and married" (66). When Avery says this, it shows that his love for her may not be real. That really he just wants to be with her to 'do the right thing' in their society. Because of that Berniece always push's him away, but lets him think there is still a chance for a future. In the book, whenever they have a conversation, Bernice is rude or stubborn, and that shows that she doesn't love him either. He knows he can offer her good things, such as security because of his job, good money, and they could become really close. But he tries to convince his love3 for her and why they should be together, he is also trying to convince him self, which means even if they love each other, they are not in love with each other.
