Read the passage from My Antonia by Willa Cather? Which theme is best supported by the contrast in this
passage?
Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard
times, and had got little schooling themselves. But
the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they
made such sacrifices and who have had
"advantages," never seem to me, when I meet them
now, half as interesting or as well educated. The
older girls, who helped to break up the wild sod,
learned so much from life, from poverty, from their
mothers and grandmothers; they had all, like
Antonia, been early awakened and made observant
by coming at a tender age from an old country to a
new.
O It is better for girls to be farmers than teachers.
O Experience can be a more effective teacher than
formal education.
O It isn't a good idea to make sacrifices for your family.
O People who have advantages aren't very interesting.
