Mr. Shimerda begs Jim to “Te-e-ach, te-e-ach my Antonia” in Book I, Section III (just at the end). Who learns more through their relationship, Jim or Antonia? I think it is not easy to determine either which one of them have learned more from that. Especially because I have always thought that every encounter changes us in some way.

As a young child, I always wondered if Dr. Seuss was a real doctor. After doing some digging, I found out that Dr. Seuss wasn’t a real doctor. I loved Dr. Seuss, and this made me question everything. This left a major impact on me, especially in my younger years. I started to question if literature was even important to me.
