With this I can relate since where I come from the winters are brutal and often seem to relate to calamity. However, once you pass the numb fingers, frostbit ears, near-hypothermia, and overall severity of the storm, you can notice just how beautiful and halcyon the land looks. Around here, winters can be unkind to people and the land, but like the winter of the story it truly is beautiful to see. In conclusion, My Antonia is a story of how a friendship
