My view of "My Antonia"

Willa Cather in her novel, My Antonia, offers her view of life during the pioneer time. This book is told in Jim's perspective, and if it were told in Antonia's perspective, I think that the story would be much different.

If the novel was told in Antonia's perspective with her telling the story, I do not think that anyone would hear about Jim as much as we do now. I think that we would probably hear more about Antonia than anybody, and the story would be more girly than it already is.

I guess you can say that Cather is alright at writing as a man, that is if you did not know that the author was not a man. I could tell that the author was a woman. The style, words used, and many other things in this novel would lead someone to thinking it was a female author. My answer is no, Jim does not sound like a man writing, it sounds like a woman writing the narrative while trying to sound like a man.

I think that Jim changed the title from Antonia to My Antonia because later in the novel Jim and Antonia get married. So it's safe to say that Antonia is indeed Jims'.

I am not going to lie, i did not like this book. It is about a woman who has children (which already sounds to me as boring) and this and that about different things like her love, Jim, and her having to work in the plains and many different things. Anyone can tell that this novel is for girls, not guys. Overall, it is a good book for women to read, but i would not recommend it to any guys.
