My Antonia

I thought the book had a lot of charm. It showed how much strength mankind had to form this great land. The trusting and helpful ways to each other in order to survive. The strength and struggles for freedom: to have a piece of the American dream. The comforts we take so much for granted are driven home, how very spoiled and soft we have become. It also helped me to appreciate our farmers of today they must still face the same challenges while we just go to the store in our cars and get what we want.

Please, It's not that bad

I thought My Antonia was an easy read. It was short, and although it could get a little boring at times and the ending wasn't as great as it could have been, it was entertaining. It's point was to give an account of nineteenth-century farm life while still being entertaining. It achieves both. It seems like man of the people critiquing this novel didn't actually read it.

the story was like a cycle, from life, to prime, and to deat

the story was like a cycle.
