In an essay on My ntonia, the American writer Wallace Stegner says, For Jim not only, as narrator, carries the burden or tune of the novel; he carries also the cultural burden that Willa Cather herself carried, the quintessentially American burden of remaking in the terms of a new place everything that make life graceful and civilized. Discuss this concept of remaking as part of the burden of the narrative.
