Willa Cather in her novel, My Antonia, offers her view on life in the pioneer times.
How would My Ántonia be different if it were told from Ántonia's perspective?
Everything would be different, because things would be seen through a different eye, things
things would be told in a different way, and things would be from a different mind.
How effective is Cather, a woman, at narrating a story from the point of view of a man? Does Jim sound like a man writing, or does the narrative sound like a woman pretending to be a man?
I think she is very good at making Jim sound like a man. You couldn't tell it was a woman!
Why do you think Jim changed the title from Antonia to My Antonia?
Because she was his. His best friend.
