My Antonia: Ch 15 to 19 Response questions

Book I: Ch 15 to 19

Elaborate using specific evidence from the novel mixed with your own personal views. Each response question should be about 300 words in length.

  1. How does religion determine the proper way to bury Mr. Shimerda and how does the country determine what is proper? Why is it significant that Mr. Shimerda is buried at a crossroads? How do the grandfather and Mrs. Shimerda have different views on the significance of being buried at a crossroads?
  2. Hoe does hardship change a person? Positive example AND negative. How does Antonia change once her father dies? How about the Shimerda family? Are Jim's transformed feelings for Antonia justified, why or why not?
