Piano Lesson ppt. Work Songs

The Piano Lesson: Work Songs

For this presentation, different aspects in the book, The Piano Lesson, were chosen and a power point was created about it. Throughout the book there were many references to African American culture. I completed my power point on work songs, which is what the African Americans sang while working. I connected this motif to the piano lesson, and also was able to connect it back to Song of Solomon. Song of Solomon is another book that has African American motifs integrated into it. From the research for this presentation I was able to learn more about the African American culture. This is because the motif of Flying was integrated into these two works. Work songs are related to flying because both have to do with finding peace. work songs were able to make work more enjoyable and flying away was going to free the slaves and give them peace.
