uicide. The external conflict, man vs. man is shown when Antonia and Jim have a big argument then go their separate ways for a long time before meeting again.Theme The close relation between man and landscape is a major theme in My Antonia. Jim is especially sensitive toward his environment to the point where he gives human qualities to the world around him. Example, because of the deficiency of trees in the area, Jim remarks that “we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them as if they were persons.”At other times, aspects of the landscape come to represent for Jim an emotion or an idea. Although Jim realizes that botanists have demonstrated the sunflower sends in the area on their flight westward. The romantic legend supercedes the scientific fact, and Jim keeps the landscape to himself as something to dream about, but not to understand.ConclusionThis book is recommended for anyone who enjoys lengthy descriptions of places, characters, and situations. This is not a good choice for those who like action or adventure. Overall, the novel is quite boring because of the lack of action and long descriptions throughout the whole book....
