You've got an introductory packet now on Willa Cather and the theme of the American dream (available here online, too), but here's an excellent website devoted to Cather and her works.
The Willa Cather Foundation
The assignment sheet is also available online in PDF format if you should need another copy. For now, consider some more quotations from Willa:
"The feeling of the rain on you is sweet. It seems to bring feelings you had when you were a baby. It carries you back into the dark, before you were born." - O Pioneers!
"Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better things." - Death Comes for the Archbishop
"We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it for a little while." - O Pioneers!
