Summary by Izzy Evangelista.
In my podcast, I used *My Antonia *as the text to introduce my topic of Immigration in the United States, and how immigrants add value to our society. Throughout the podcast, I talk about how immigration is talked about in My Antonia and compare it to my own experience as well as a generalization of how it typically is for immigrants today. I mention what jobs they look for, and how they work hard to provide for themselves and their family. I am more on the positive side of this topic and explain how America is a melting pot of culture. I add my own opinion of immigration aside from the novel to show that I agree with the interpretation of how immigration is shown in My Antonia. Although this novel is about the admiration of someone else, I love that I could talk about a topic like immigration because of the experience that Antonia had, even if the explanation was brief.
