A haunting tribute to the heroic pioneers who shaped the American Midwest This powerful novel by Willa Cather is considered to be one of her finest works and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists. It tells the stories of several immigrant families who start new lives in America in rural Nebraska. This powerful tribute to the quiet heroism of those whose struggles and triumphs shaped the American Midwest highlights the role of women pioneers, in particular. Written in the style of a memoir penned by Antonia’s tutor and friend, the book depicts one of the most memorable heroines in American literature, the spirited eldest daughter of a Czech immigrant family, whose calm, quite strength and robust spirit helped her survive the hardships and loneliness of life on the Nebraska prairie. The two form an enduring bond and through his chronicle, we watch Antonia shape the land while dealing with poverty, treachery, and tragedy. “No romantic novel ever written in America...is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” -H. L. Mencken Willa Cather (1873–1947) was an American writer best known for her novels of the Plains and for One of Ours, a novel set in World War I, for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. She was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1943 and received the gold medal for fiction from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1944, an award given once a decade for an author's total accomplishments. By the time of her death she had written twelve novels, five books of short stories, and a collection of poetry.

Prepare students for Pennsylvania's end-of-course assessment with Keystone Finish Line Literature. Lessons are aligned to the Keystone Exams: Literature Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content, and provide plenty of practice with the types and length of literature found on the test. The book is divided into two modules with a review at the end of each: Module 1 focuses on fiction, such as plays, poems, short stories, and classic literature; Module 2 covers nonfiction, such as functional, instructional, expository, and argumentative texts. Just like the Keystone, many practice questions feature authentic texts with items that address Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels 2 and higher and students will answer multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. Each lesson is specific to a skill or content area, and includes an instructional review, guided practice, and independent work.
