This concise supplement to Willa Cather's My Antonia helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, as well as the social and cultural perspectives of the author.
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

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