Alonzo is presenting this speech to his class. What is the purpose of the speech?
My Antonia, one of Willa Cather's most famous and beloved novels, published in 1918, is a tale of immigrant families in
Nebraska. The heroine, Antonia, a free-spirited and courageous young woman, is the eldest daughter of one of the
families. Her many challenges and experiences form the heart of the book. Aside from being a compelling story of the
American frontier, My Antonia is also a social document of the times. It describes the hard life of immigrants who settled
on the prairie. In particular, Cather's book focuses on how hard frontier life was for women and how tough they had to be
to survive. The story clearly shows the author's support of women's rights. At the same time, it continues to entertain
readers as a romantic and exciting tale of the American prairie. It's a story that's hard to put down.
