Chingachook's The Last Of The Mohicans

“The Frontiersmen” was written by Allan W. Eckert in 1967. It is a narrative historical fiction story. The book is full of excitement and adventure chronicling the relationship between the American frontiersman and the Native Americans. Mr. Eckert did research for seven years, hiking around the United States. He learned to live off the land and find out all that he could about wildlife and survival during difficult circumstances. His years of living off the land paid off with the writing of The Frontiersman; it contains factual information combined with some fictional situations making it exciting and interesting while, at the same time, giving the reader many situations which help to understand a lot about the history of a young United States between the French and Indian War and the War of 1812.

Trail of Tears: The rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation Many know the“The Trail of Tears” to be the removal of Cherokee from one place to another. Yet this book tells more than just the Cherokees movement to the East of the Mississippi River. It is written by John Ehle who is “a sixth-generation North Carolinian, who grew up on land once used as hunting grounds by the Cherokee.”, and is currently 89 years old according to his biography. This book was chosen because even though the story about the Trail of Tears is known this book explained the story of Cherokee people living their life before they were ordered to move onto another location and re start their whole life.

The differences in their environment and nature created a positive chemistry back in their homeland of Canada but it was truly a test of their relationship, when they were sent out on

Anyone can read a history textbook assigned in class and understand the events in their minds, but understanding the emotion of the people who were there at the events are lost in blank monotone text. Being able to recite events dryly from your textbook is not knowing one’s history. In order to fully understand history, you have to be able to understand every aspect of the events. Every emotion, thought, and desire of the people who were there as the history was made. In order to tell history, you need to attach emotion to the words being expressed so that the reader can fully understand what happened. In this context, with the help of Dr. Herbert T. Hoover, Joseph Cash gathered fifty-eight oral stories from Native Americans who had faced oppression

In the relationship between Chingachgook and his son Uncas, a considerable amount of respect that is displayed. Uncas respects his father not just because he is his son, rather he understands how powerful his fathers legacy is. He knows of the respect that his father demands and is appreciative of it. Chingachgook respects his son not solely because he created him but because he can envision himself in someway while looking at his son. He knows that he and his son are the last of the Mohicans and respects his son because of the power that he holds to carry on the sacred legacy.

The family in “Father Knows Best” is also portrayed as a very

The role of parents in a child’s life is an irreplaceable one. Children are shaped by what they see their parents do and how they see them act. Children can choose to pattern themselves after what they see their parents do or they can choose to avoid being like their parents. In the story ‘Ashes’ by Susan Beth Pfeffer, Recent research shows, fathers affect the lives of their young adult daughters in intriguing and occasionally surprising ways. Ashes’ father can be mostly described as a good parent.

Even if this relationship is present in both stories, the qualities of this mother-daughter relationship and the tone of

My opinion about this chapter is that the writer had different view of Native Americans than what most Americans have today. Americans view the natives as a peaceful people when in fact they fought over land, killed their enemies and torched them they were violent in their own way but they were not as violent as the white people so in my opinion the writer was wrong about saying the Native Americans were as violent as the Americans. An other thing that in my opinion the writer was wrong was by saying the Native Americans were as wasteful by killing the buffalo as the americans were when in fact they were not. There were not as many Natives as Americans so the killing number of participants was lower and when the natives killed the buffalo it was eaten by wolves while in the American side they were not eaten by wolves. In my opinion the author had a different view of the Native Americans than what most people have.My reaction to this chapter was that I learned many new things about the Native Americans that

With the introduction of Americans into Korea during the Korean War, the emergence of Korean camptowns came to be (Wu (a) 2). These camptowns were established to meet the needs of American soldiers in the area, such as laundry, food, and prostitutes (Yuh 23).

In Philip J. Deloria’s book, Indians In Unexpected Places readers are provoked with questions. Why is there an Indian on an automobile? Why is she getting a manicure? Why is the young man in football apparel? Indians have been secluded into a stereotype of untamable and wild animals. However, Indians break the barriers of their traditional lives by being in more modern and “white” activities. They partake in “normal” activities to not only change their future, but to make their ancestors proud of their accomplishments. Through a variety of events in the early 1900’s, Deloria expands on what it means to be Native American by retelling their lives of, men grew from their reservation life, into competitive sports, the auto industry transformed how Native Americans traveled, and they also gained relevance in the fight to make themselves known in film, not always as a savage warrior, but also capable of love moving pictures.

“The Powhatan native americans lived in towns located on elevated ground near rivers, which were sources of food and transportation by conu. The Powhatan also used the rivers to bathe every morning as you can see rivers where essential to survival.

The towns contained of from two to a hundred houses with six to twenty people living in each home

Looking through the perspective of Native American Micmac chief, Agwachiwagan. We can see that Agwachiwagan knew that the French colonized faith is causing devastating impacts onto the Native American tribes. In his monolog, he speaks to his fellow natives of their interested in the French people faith of Christianity, warning them of the troubles it brings. However, he explains that he himself has seen and learned about it culture. Yet during his travels to Quebec and the Three Rivers Agwachiwagan did not see any good the faith had given to its people, instead the faith had changed its people into “a house full of one-eyed, lame, crippled and blind persons”. Agwachiwagan encountered much destruction onto the Natives lives such as disease,

On the other hand, there are those fathers are actively involved in all details of their child’s development. The dominant and leadership role that the father naturally or culturally assumes engenders a close relationship with the children, particularly the sons’ who perceive them as role models. Through his poem, “My Papas Waltz,” the American poet, Theodore Roethke imaginatively reflects, through a dance, the complex relationship between a father and a child. Often considered by many readers as an intimate and personal reminiscence of his own troubled
