When I read about Doaker’s older brother, Wining Boy, I thought of him as a rambling man, someone who just didn’t have anything to lose, he seemed invisible to others, with no secrets to conceal, and no direction home. “He is a man who looking back over his life continues to live with an odd mixture of zest and sorrow.” Although he is fifty six years old it doesn’t seem that he has many worries and no purpose in his life, just all in all a very unprofessional and unorganized individual. Whenever these adjectives are used to describe a person, I automatically think that he is a rolling stone of sorts. “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan fits well. In this song Bob Dylan depicts just the type of person that August Wilson is trying to paint Wining Boy to be. Dylan’s songs are filled with simple joys and struggles of life, just like The Piano Lesson.
