The Last of the Mohicans

I read The Last of the Mohicans. This story is very famous and there is a movie that the same title. I watch that movie when in class. So, I want to read the original. This book is short story and very interesting but very difficult I think. Above all, I want to review of the outline.

Uncas is the last of the Mohican Indians. He is with his father and friend Hawkeye. They meet major Heyward and two young daughters of a British colonel. Magua is a Huron Indians. He burn with vengeful thoughts to British. Heyward and two young daughters want to meet a British colonel, but Huron Indians disrupt. Magua want to kill the Hawkeye, British colonel and his men. The Mohican Indians helped Heyward and two young daughters.

I watched the movie before I read this book. So it is easy to understand, but it is not same to the original. The movie and book are both very interesting. Magua is a bad person, but he is to be pitied. I have an impressive Hawkeye’s words: “I have no family. He was your son and your blood was nearer to his blood. But I will never forget my brother Uncas.” I was moved.

I read this book aroused my interest in American Indian history. I want to study about that.
