Dave's Question

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately we ran out of time in class to discuss the excellent question Dave raised in his presentation, so I will post it below if anyone would like to respond to it or use it as a prompt for one of their posts this week.

Dave asks:

"What is the significance of the shaking cup on top of the piano in relation to Sonny? Does this somehow relate to the brothers' relationship in any way?"

As a hint, if anyone would like to investigate the significance of the shaking cup, or "the cup of trembling," as Baldwin calls it, further it is actually a reference from the Old Testament.

Best,
--JI
