An esay based on my opinions of My 'Antonia, by Willa Cather.

<Tab/>Is "My 'Antonia" really "My Jim"? Jim's memories. <Tab/>"My 'Antonia" by Willa Cather is a boy's experience growing up with a bohemian girl named 'Antonia. But in the book, I maintain, that Jim is the main focus and that it is a book about his experiences, observations and passions and how they relate to 'Antonia and the people around him. A lot of this book …

…My 'Antonia" is a book based on the memories of Jim Burden. He tells his stories of growing up with 'Antonia, and his own personal stories about getting to where he is in the present. This is a book about art, race, and relationships between close friends, and family. Willa Cather did an excellent Job creating the relationship between 'Antonia and Jim. Their relationship was the backbone for this story. It was a great book.
