In The Pigman, why do you think John liked going to the cemetery, and why did Lorraine accept the gifts from Mr. Pignati?

The cemetery
is where John and his friends go to drink, so it is kind of a hang out for them where they can
do things they aren't necessarily supposed to do and not get caught.  John also finds the
cemetery interesting, and "one of the loveliest places to be...the hills and green grass
and flowers are much nicer than what you get when you're alive".  John also finds that the
cemetery is a good place to be alone and just think.  It's kind of an escape for him, and he
notes, "I think I'm really looking for ghosts...I'm looking for
anything to prove that when I drop dead there's a chance I'll be doing something a little more
exciting than decaying" (Chapter 7).

Although she feels badly about Mr.
Pignati spending so much money on her and John, she accepts his gifts because she knows he is
lonely, and that it really makes him happy to be able to take them shopping and buy things for
them.  She notices how depressed he looks when she tells the saleslady she is not his daughter,
and how he smiles when she offers that she is his niece.  Mr. Pignati almost begs them to let
him buy them gifts, and Lorraine, who gets little from her mother who is always griping about
money, admits that "it (feels) good...no one had ever gought me stuff like this before -
something I just liked and didn't need and didn't even ask for" (Chapter
8).
