My Ántonia, Chapter 18: samenvatting
Chapter 18 van 45 · Book 1: The Shimerdas · 9 min leestijd voor het hoofdstuk
In Chapter 18, Jake strikes Ambrosch during a dispute over a borrowed horse collar, and the quarrel turns Jim and Ántonia against each other. Grandfather refuses to join the feud, helps the Shimerdas with a sick horse, and restores peace by offering paid work and forgiving the remaining payment for their cow.
Wat er gebeurt
- Jim attends country school and feels increasingly distant from Ántonia, who admires Ambrosch and treats Jim as a child.
- Jake demands a borrowed collar, pulls Ambrosch back, dodges his kick, and knocks him down, provoking the Shimerda women’s anger.
- Grandfather advises Jake to pay his fine promptly, while Ántonia mocks Jake for supposedly selling his pig to cover it.
- Grandfather remains friendly with the Shimerdas and treats their sick horse when Ántonia urgently asks for help.
- Grandfather offers Ambrosch and Ántonia paid work and cancels the remaining payment for the cow Mrs. Shimerda tries to hide.
- Mrs. Shimerda brings Jake knitted socks, and they agree to stop fighting while exchanging jokes about the fine.
