Antonia

 Willa Cather in her novel My Antonia (yes, a signal phrase) offers her view of life during the pioneer time.


 How would My Ántonia be different if it were told from Ántonia's perspective?
We would know another side of Antonia of how she's feeling, thinking and everything.

 How effective is Cather, a woman, at narrating a story from the point of view of a man? Does Jim sound like a man writing, or does the narrative sound like a woman pretending to be a man?
It sounds like a man writing.

Why do you think Jim changed the title from Antonia to My Antonia?
Because he was in love with Antonia in the novel.

Based on this, I reccommand this novel to anyone.
