Catching Up...

I just started the book, and can't put it down, but I will stay on schedule, and not read ahead.

I love the way the book is written, I feel like I can see the prairie, the cross roads where Mr Shimerda is buried, the sunflower trail, the day it didn't just snow, it was like several feather beds being poured over them.

I loved the grandfathers prayer, the grandmothers goodness. How true and hard working Jake and Otto are. I like how Jim accepts goodness and seems surprised by the selfishness and evil. I like Antonia, i think she is trying to be what she thinks she should be to most help her family, and can be herself while in town.
