"the tune he plays on the piano becomes the tune used to represent his mother. it is played at significant moments in the film especially the reading of his mother's letter and the reading of the results letter"

what is the purpose of playing these tunes at those points in the film?

EDIT: stupid me, i called it a play instead of a film. there goes my HSC

you wont be asked a question that specific in the exam, I doubt it anyway. The purpose is somewhat open to discussion anyway, it could spread over a large spectrum of ideas.

i know that, but i wanna use it in my answer, wat does it signify?

I guess the memories of his mother and how he may be connected with her and her inspiration words "be what you want to be" (or whatever).
