Status Updates From My Antonia

“Do you know, Ántonia, since I’ve been away, I think of you more often than of anyone else in this part of the world. I’d have liked to have you as a sweetheart, or a wife, or my mother or my sister — anything that a woman can be to a man. The idea of you is part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tastes, hundreds of times when I don’t realize it. You really are a part of me.”

Jim moved to black hawk to continue his education and Antonia has a job for a family in the town. The ending was kind of confusing actually because it was the weird version from amazon so I had to google some of it but after that it made so much more sense. I was surprised Jim and Antonia went their separate ways but it was cute when they were friends. I'm sad they didn't end up together, but it is ok. I enjoyed it!

It's good, I have the Ai version so it's really difficult to read but from my understanding, Jim becomes an orphan and travels to Nebraska to live with his grandparents. He works on a farm. Him and Antonia become friends even though they don't speak the same language at first. it's kind of cute and wholesome seeing them become friends despite their differences.
