You have not provided all the information here - there are no options provided to determine which is true. As you have not asked a specific question, I will give you some general facts about Willa Cather's classic American novel 'My Antonia' that are said to be based on fact:
- Cather grew up in the town of Red Town in Nebraska. Throughout the novel, she makes references to some of her childhood recollections when growing up in this area.
- Like the main protagonist in the novel Jim Burden, Cather herself moved from Virginia to Nebraska when she was a young girl.
- Cather is said to have actually borrowed the name 'Jim Burden' from a grocer who lived in the town of Red Cloud where she lived as a child.
- Like the novel's author, Jim Burden also attends the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
- In the novel, Jim gives a speech at his graduation ceremony and it is no surprise to learn Cather also did this at her own graduation.
- To pursue a career after graduating from university, Cather moved from Nebraska to New York and Jim Burden also does this in the novel.
