Why Did Antonia Learn Antonia's Relationship
Antonia learned more through their relationship as each day went by. Antonia did not like Jim like a boyfriend because he was too young for her. “I hated a superior tone that she sometimes took with me. She was four years older than I, to be sure, and had seen more of the world; but I was a boy and she was a girl, and I resented her protecting manner. Before the autumn was over she began to treat me more like an equal and to defer to me in other things than reading lessons.” But while growing up, Antonia started to learn more about Jim and what he was studying. “

Antonia learned how to read very well when Jim taught her. Antonia started to get better at reading. Jim was helping her find more books to read and have her understand what

    Some of the lessons included is the traumatic effects of her injury. An example of this is Marina not talking. A quote that demonstrates this is ‘sent here [to Warrington] because [her] mother can't stand [her] silent presence at home' (P.5). This quote demonstrates that she doesn't speak at all, even with her own parents and that her mother can't stand her silent presence at home. Also, Marina's mother doesn't like having a daughter who doesn't talk. Another lesson this book…

Her request is turned down and she isn't very happy about that. I think that Miss Narwin's desire to take this workshop has a little bit to do with Philip. She knows that Philip has great potential to learn and wants to find a way to connect with him. In what Philip sees as Miss Narwin picking on him is actually an attempt to get him to do better.

    She learned how to speak a lot better with Jim’s help. Also, she began to trust Jim and she began to follow him more. “she learned a score of words. She was quick and very eager.” This quote describes Antonia as a fast learner and always looking for something new to learn. Another quote that shows how Antonia believes and trust Jim. “she wanted to give me a little chased silver ring she wore on her middle finger.” Antonia did this to show her appreciation to Jim for teaching her all of the new words and how to speak better. Antonia also learns the values of hard work and determination from Jim because she is always with and her father an he wants her to learn new things like how to work the land and plant crops. This would help her provide for herself one day when her parents are no longer with her, and so she can take care of her younger siblings, as well. I thing that Antonia learns more through the relationship, because throughout the book she begins to show how much more capable and mature she is becoming from watching Jim and learning from his family. I believe that Mr. Shimerda trusted Jim for him to say “teach, teach my Antonia” he knew that Jim would take care and teach Antonia everything that she will need to know to have a happy life living on the prairie. Lastly, Antonia will learn a good deal of important trades that will help her and her mother out in the…

    An experience that gives Antonio a different outlook on life is being raised in Guadalupe. Growing up in this rural area has put him very close to nature and the land. This shapes his outlook on life because it connects him to his family, since his uncles are very close to the land. This also makes Antonio more mature because it develops a love and respect for the land. Being raised in Guadalupe also sets up a distinctive perception for Antonio because he lives in a middle class environment. For example, in Antonio’s household his father and mother both work hard and Antonio is given chores and discipline. This shapes his maturity because it does not make him spoiled or self-indulgent. It also builds his character because it makes him work hard to accomplish his goals.…

    b. Based on the positive quality of life aimed for by teenage Katharine, I feel it stands to reason she was brought up with an abundance of positive regard. She recalls her then ambitious intentions for her adult life, even stating she “had always thought she would be one of those women who had it all”. Using Rogers’ theory of positive self-regard as well as his theory of conditions of worth, we can understand how the years of her marriage brought about an steady increase of incongruity for Katharine. Having been forbid to earn her own money or even further her education, Katharine soon consciously forgot these were tangible desires which, when coupled with the conditional positive regard shown by her husband, left her only her once much desired marriage to express herself with and grow by.…

    In the first chapter of the story, I was devastated on how Toni lost his brother in a car accident. ‘Scott and I were like sea,’ this quote shows how the twins are very close than anyone showing an importance of family. This relates to me how my sister and I are very close, closer than any of my family members, like how I walk my sister every day at school and how I always have no choice to go her lousy parties when she get invited by her friends. I also find very understanding, interesting and true how Toni and Scott have their disagreements because to me, without any disagreements and arguments would be boring. Before the car accident, Scott was found drunk by Toni. Their family rule for parties that drinking is forbidden, until it got broken. This story makes me realise how life can’t always go as planned and how we have to accept the consequences and move on. I admire Toni because I felt how she had to experience a devastating report from her parents about the death of her brother. It’s understandable that it takes time to move on; even when we already accepted it we can still feel the nostalgic lingering inside of our memories.…
