my two cents

I was just in my Literature class and I was trying to look up the word
"Xenia" in the back of my text when all of a sudden I stumbled upon a
name that jumped out of the page at me: BONO. It was all over the
page and I was thinking "Is this some sort of interview with Bono in
my very own literature book?" I quickly realized that it was actually
just a play entitled "Fences", by August Wilson, and the character's
full name is Jim Bono. Every time the character says something it
puts it like this:

BONO. Well, hell, I am...if you ever turn the bottle loose.

I guess Jim Bono is a black man because the other characters refer to
him as the "N" word quite often.
