Hi! The piano lessens okay. Pretty short which is a good thing, I guess.

Participation points! I just finished my English homework! I think Doaker's my favourite character. He's that old guy you got lots to learn from. :D

Watched the video and thought that singing songs make the workers feel unified and not lonely. Also to make work feel less boring. Going to work on essay

I like the Piano Lesson. The first scene I thought it was just okay, but it's waaay deeper than I thought it would be.

The book is definitely getting more interesting. It's almost like I'm stuck in the middle of the story; it's a lot more complex then a lot of other books I've read.
