What is Jim's view of the hired girls and the town girls?
This selection is coming from My Antonia. If anyone has any answers for this question, please that would be so very much helpful to me thank you.
The hired girls are appealing because they're foreigners and they're free and seemingly uninhibited (because they dance and allow themselves to have fun), unlike the town girls, who have to adhere to certain rules and be "above that." Jim finds the hired girls attractive, as do the other boys, and one night he gives in and joins their dancing and "black" music (the pianist is black, playing wildly and "savagely" on the piano).
