Similarly to Jim, Willa Cather spent her early years in Nebraska but most of her adult life in Eastern cities. Through his eyes, we see both how she shapes the land around her and is shaped by the rigors of poverty. Jim soon becomes smitten with Ãntonia, the eldest daughter, as they grow up and explore the landscape around them together. The Shimerdas have a difficult life as pioneers: living in a sod house, working the fields, and running out of food in the winter. Riding the same train is the Shimerda family, who are also on their way to settle in the area. Recently orphaned, he moves west to Nebraska to live with his grandparents. Written in the style of a memoir, My Ãntonia chronicles Jim Burdenâs friendship with the daughter of a Czech immigrant family. Will you support our efforts with a donation?
