The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Willa Cather
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, June 23 2023
Willa Cather was well-known for her stories depicting life on the Great Plains frontier. When she was just nine, in 1883, her family relocated to Nebraska, introducing her to the landscapes and lifestyles of the American West.
During her time in Nebraska, she encountered Annie Pavelka, an immigrant from what is now the Czech Republic. Pavelka’s life story deeply impacted Cather and later served as the inspiration for her novel “My Ántonia.” Published in 1918, this novel is one of Cather’s most recognized works and is esteemed as a classic in American literature. The novel vividly captures the immigrant experience on the American frontier, reflecting Cather’s personal encounters and relationships, including her friendship with Pavelka.
In recognition of her contributions to literature, Cather was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for her novel “One of Ours.”
