Personal Response: The Last of the Mohicans Chapter 1-3

    James Fenimore Cooper, the author of “The Last of the Mohicans”, uses vary descriptive language and he writes accordingly with the theme of American Romanticism. The immense details that he uses to describe the landscape and the people are really overwhelming to me and it somehow confuses the readers. The attachment of the characters to the natural world is also in coordination with American Romanticism. I really like how the storyline goes, but the descriptive language is making the text really hard to read. The scene in which the Indians are hunting the deer is very intense and is full of action. The descriptive language for the intense action makes that scene very interesting. I like how the essay goes up until now.
