The friendship between Jim and Antonia in "My Antonia" is similar with the relation ship with Gina and Soo-Hyung in "Once around Manhattan".
In 'My Antonia" The characters Jim and Antonia have a good friendship. Antonia works for Jim's grandmother helping her in the farm. Jim and Antonia hang out together alot. Their friendship is easy because Antonia is only going to be with them for the summer. They go and gather early vegtables for dinner and sit on the chicken-house together, looking at the clouds. Antonia tells jim things like how she doesnt care that working outside makes he look like a man. And that shows she not afraid to tell jim anything
In the "Once around Manhatten" Gina and Soo-Hyung are in a challenge club and the only two girls there. They have to Canoe around manhatten. Gina and Soo-Hyung are the same age , But they dont always agree with each other but they put that behind them. Gina see's a bridge that her grandmother use to play on when she was 7 years old, and all though that could put them behind Soo-Hyung lets Gina get off the boat to go up to the bridge and rember the memorys she had playing on the bridge to. But they got sepreated from the boys and Soo-Hyung didnt get mad at her for making them behind. They just worked hard to catch up with the group. Then when they get to the statue of liberty they wanna give her a name because if it wasnt for statue of liberty they wouldnt have worked this hard together,Said Soo-Hyung. Gina said she would name it Gina and Soo-Hyung rolled her eyes but then Gina said ooh no we will name it "Soo-Hyung steering us to solid ground".And that represents that Gina is a loyal friend and she is happy that Soo-Hyung was there with her.
The friendships are simialr in "My Antonia" and "Once around Manhatten" Because they dont really need to comunicate they kind of know what the other person is thinking in the head. And that shows that they know eachother good and they are really good friends.
