    Lena Lingard intrigues me. She’s gentle even though she’s lived on the farm her entire life and she manages to make the littlest things exciting with her charisma. In ways, her adventurousness and excitement make her similar to Tony. However, they differ in that Ántonia possesses a quiet beauty and inner strength that contrasts with Lena’s liveliness. It’s strange-- I dream the same dream “a great many times, and it [is] always the same. I [am] in a harvest-field full of shocks, and I [am] lying against one of them. Lena Lingard [comes] across the stubble barefoot, in a short skirt, with a curved reaping-hook in her hand, and she [is] flushed like the dawn, with a kind of luminous rosiness all about her. She [sits] down beside me, [turns] to me with a soft sigh and said, ‘Now they are all gone, and I can kiss you as much as I like.’ I...wish I could have this flattering dream about Ántonia, but I never [do].” (109) I love Ántonia and her steady independence but I cannot see her in my dreams in…

    Scapegoat Of Family

    • 186 Words

    I agree with your post, in that April was definitely the scapegoat of the family. The mother's attitude towards April was so negative, that she stated she couldn't even think of one good memory she had with her daughter. The mother expressed negative feelings towards April, reaching as far back to when April was an infant, saying, "She bit me while breastfeeding, that's probably what caused the cancer!" It is very obvious that April feels a sense of rejection from her family when she stated she was the "first pancake", the one you throw out. Although a lot of negative attention is directed towards April, she seemed to be the only family member able to overcome the negative aspects of her dysfunctional family. She displayed courage under pressure…
