I have a few English questions that I have to turn in soon. Any help with these would be appreciated. Reading isn't my strong suit. The book I'm reading is My Atonia by Willa Cather
1) Jim defines happiness in Book I, Section II (just at the end) as “ . . . to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” Would Antonia agree with this definition?
- 250 words (your opinions) in formal tone.
- Include at least 3 quotes from the story.
2) In My Antonia, Cather uses symbols from nature to express the essential aspects of the lives of the characters. Some symbols are of the land: the prairie, the grass, winter, etc. Other symbols are animals: badgers, wolves, rattlesnakes, larks, etc. Choose three symbols and discuss how they convey information about the daily lives of the characters, how the characters relate to each other and/or how Cather views life.
