The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from My Antonia by Willa Cather: running about the country, seemed a part of the same kindling
that was in the air.
The Shimerdas were in their new log house by then.
The neighbours had helped them to build it in March. It stood
directly in front of their old cave, which they used as a cellar.
The family were now fairly equipped to begin their struggle
with the soil. They had four comfortable rooms to live in,
a new windmill--bought on credit--a chicken-house and poultry.
Mrs. Shimerda had paid grandfather ten dollars for a milk cow,
and was to give him fifteen more as soon as they harvested
their first crop.
