1. Cather focuses on the character description more than  a plot.

2.  About detailes Cather wrote, "An artist uses any particular scene or incident, not to show how much he knows about it, or because it is in itself interesting. He uses it because of a certain effect of color or emotion that will contribute to his story as a whole, because it is in the mood of the story, or helps to make the mood. Therefore, in writing this scene, he will use as much detail as will convey his impression, no more."

3.Many different cultures from  all over the world, such as Norwegians, Swedes, Bohemians, Germans, and many others, made Red Cloud a multicultural town.

My favorite quote is :

"Nothing really matters but living. Get all you can out of it.I am an old woman, and I know, sometimes people disapoint us... and sometimes we disappoint ourselves. But the thing is to go right on living."
