The Life and Literature of Willa Cather

"A great man in literature is often born in love from some wonderful experiences of the writer" (Brown 1). Many novelists gain a lot of inspiration from the stories they heard, the places they went and lived, their childhood, and the people they know and are listening to in their lives. Willa Cather is no exception. The scene and place of Kaiser's novel comes from her travels and the place she lives. Kaiser's earliest life experience was also incorporated into her writing.

WILLA SIBERT CATHER Resume was born on December 7, 1873 from Charles and Mary Cather in Winchester, Virginia. Willa's father is a deputy sheriff and farmer, her mother is a school teacher. When Willa was 9 years old, in 1883 her family moved to the Nebraska prairies following her grandparents William and Caroline. The life of the prairie is a strange landscape indispensable to the life of Cather. In 1888, Cather decided to be a surgeon to compare article # 2. Since the establishment of the colony, the United States has always been considered a "place of opportunity". It is a safe haven for immigrants and is considered a new opportunity for others. "The forgiveness in court" published by Willa Cather in 1893 tells the story of Russian immigrant Sarl, overcomes the difficult childhood struggle and escapes to America for national protection.

In 1873, Willa was born in the same year, and the expanded Kaiser family started migrating to Nebraska. Willa's uncle George and the newlywed couple Francis (Smith) were the first settlers in Webster County, then became Katherine. They are traditional pioneering experiences such as living in evacuation centers, planting orchards, excavating wells, snoring, running schools and churches, establishing post offices, etc. Friends and neighbors from Virginia, including Kaiser's grandparents, William and Caroline Cather, soon named the area New Virginia. In 1883, Willa's parents Charles and Boca Catherz moved with their four children (the other three are born in Nebraska), brought her a girl who was hired Maggie Anderson Brother, Willa's grandmother, Rachel Bock, and her other two grandchildren. Their neighbors include settlers from Germany, Scandinavia, Bohemia and France and Canada.
