The 1936 Rendition of The Last of The Mohicans directed by George B. Seitz is more historically accurate than most movies today and is deeply infused with 1936 ideals. These ideals do not always match up with the movies 1856 setting. This movie adaptation of Fenimore’s classic novel accurately depicts the right people on the right dates in the right historical events. It takes liberty by adding a few characters and changing the characteristics and relationships of historical figures. This film…

in history, the Hundred Years War was a bloodthirsty period of battle between England and France. The war was not limited to England and France; Scotland, a French ally, battled against England.

I vigorously disagree with the Dickenson County School Board extending time on campus. The change will cause more harm than good to come from it. Classes are longer than needed, anyways. Students and staff may get home after dark. This extra time results in extra stress on students and staff. This extension of time will injure students and staff more than assist them. The school board must take all effects into account before making a decision. Nevertheless, school days are long enough. There…
