Judgment Based On Books The Song of the Lark (Great Plains Trilogy #2)

This is a gorgeous book, one of my all-time favorites. I've read it twice and taken from it numerous inspiring quotes that guide my life. "But if you decide what it is you want most, you can get it. Not everybody can, but you can. Only, if you want a big dream, you've got to have nerve enough to cut out all that's easy, everything that's to be had cheap."

3.5 starsI love how this book portrays an empowered woman who achieves success as a singer though her talent, work ethnic, and independence. This type of coming-of-age story often only occurs with boys and men. Cather, however, follows her protagonist Thea throughout her childhood in eastern Colorado all the way up to her rising fame as an artist in New York. Thea defies the expectations placed on women to act docile and domestic; she prioritizes herself and her ambitions and thus has a happy

Please, take the time to look at this painting by Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton, a 19th-century French Naturalist painter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_B...Scroll down a bit to get to the image of the painting. It inspired both Cather's book and its title. Cather has in word's captured the feel of Breton's paining. Isn't it wonderful?What do you see when you look at the painting? I see a woman with grit and determination. Look at the uplifted jaw line. Look at the tilt of the head. That



In this second of Willa Cathers Great Plains Trilogy, we are taken on an adventure of a different kind. For those who are interested in how the creative process grows within a person from young childhood through to adulthood, this book is perfect.Thea Kronborg is born in Moonstone, Colorado and is part of a large Swedish family of seven children and an Aunt who helps their mother maintain some semblance of order in their tiny, over-crowded home. It is her Aunt Tillie who first declares Thea to

This isn't Willa Cather's best known work, but it's the one that most speaks to me, possibly because it's her most autobiographical novel and her life was so darned interesting. SOTL could be subtitled A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman. Thea almost reluctantly comes out as an artist, gradually admitting to her artistic vocation. SOTL also shows how important German culture was in America at the turn of the century. Cather doesn't bother translating the numerous German passages, as if

At some point in this novel, I imagined a subtitle for it: "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman," especially as I'm convinced (without any facts to back it up) that it contains many autobiographical elements. I imagined that Thea's being different from the rest of her family, and from the others in the area she grew up in and loved, to be similar to Cather's experience as a burgeoning writer, also feeling the creative urge when she was a young child in her heart, was it, or under her
