EEG+Response+for+The+Last+of+the+Mohicans

The use of the American frontier in the book as the setting was due to the feel it gave the readers as a place to be suprized and firghtened of what might be around the next bend. It also allowed for a unique chain of events that changed the characters. The colonial frontier to Cooper was a place of secrets and brutality. It was always hiding what was behind the next corner and what surprize or ambush lied around the bend. Hawkeye, Cooper's Natty Bumppo of __The Last of the Mohicans__, is the person that apperars on all of his books under different names as the hero of the book. The relationship between the Native Americans and the colonists was very strained. Even when they were allies, both sides could be scaptical of the other. Alice was a prime example of this in the beginning when shewas frightened by the appearance of their guide, although he was thought to be leading them the wrong way by Hawkeye.The unrrest was proven during the battles when the Natives showed their brutal nature. The English and the colonists, however, was a much simpler relationship. Although there is some disagreements between the two groups, they worked together to beat the French nad the Natives. This book was considered a masterpiece because it was targeted at the idea how the French-Indian War was fought for expansion instead of political views or tensions. The book was hard at first, but I lost understanding somewhere in the middle and had trouble determing what was going on through the end. I think i read until chapter ten until I became lost and hopelessly confused. I tried to fight through it in order to complete my assignment, but my quality may be lacking to a lack of understanding.
