Hey gurl, Your not my partner but oh well. I think that they had Mr. Shemirda die because it would show later on in the book how Antonia had to go through alot before she ever became truly happy with her family. It also shows how bad he was missing his home town an dhow much he sacrificed for his selfish wife. He meant alot to Antonia but it shows how strong she was just to move on.
