Stephanie Williams-The Last of the Mohicans

I read The Last of the Mohicans and I thought it was an interesting history story. I remember watching the movie in middle school so I thought I should read the book as well. I thought it was interesting to see how different the Hurons and the Mohicans were. Magua was very deceitful and vengeful while the Mohicans were very kind and protective to Munro's daughters. I think that Magua just wanted to marry Cora as a way of angering Munro because Munro had tried to convert Magua which angered him. I also thought it was interesting how Magua continued to escape through every ambush and reappeared to capture Munro's daughters again. My favorite part was in the end where they treated Uncas' death and Cora's death with equal respect. It was appropriate considering all that Uncas had done for Munro's family throughout the novel. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to watching the movie again.

I kind of like your summary of the book. My cousin read it a couple years ago and he said he didn't like it. I think that I do want to read it now. It sounds like a platter full of action with a side of romance.; August 18, 2014 at 7:14 PM
