My Antonia
Willa Cather
In CliffsNotes on My Antonia, Willa Cather tells the story of Bohemian immigrant Antonia Shimerda through the eyes of Jim Burden. A newly orphaned Jim — riding on the same train as the Shimerdas — arrives in Black Hawk, Nebraska, to live with his grandparents. As Jim and Antonia grow up together, they form a bond that affects Jim's views of womanhood, family, and love for the rest of his life. My Antonia is Cather's ode to the pioneer spirit and to the strength of women.
What is the hometown of both Jim Burden and the narrator?
