O'Pioneers Essay
In O Pioneers by Willa Cather, minor characters such as Lou, Oscar, and Emil Bergson, and Amedee Chevalier contribute significantly to the book's theme. During this period of time, in the late 1800's, in the Nebraska plains, times were rough, and life was unpleasant. Some characters throughout the course of the story create tension between their own family members, as in the case of Lou and Oscar Bergson versus Alexandra, their authoritative sister. Also, Ivar contributes to the book's meaning because he teaches others, that everyone should not assimilate to society. In addition, Amedee Chevalier portrays an ideal life and provides a moral lesson about good fortune.

For example, they try to persuade Alexandra not to marry Carl, because they believe all Carl wants is Alexandra's acreage
